Presentation of Papers and Proposals
A. GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF PAPERS
This information is provided to guide authors in the preparation of their papers.
Download a model paper with styles here
Papers should preferably be prepared using Microsoft Word on either a
Macintosh or a Windows system (use RTF if these are unavailable). They should
be submitted on a 3.5 inch floppy disk and in hard copy, as detailed below.
Papers should be written in English and comprise a maximum of 8 pages, including
references, figures, and appendices.
Use a Times (New) Roman font throughout.
Type and centre the title 14 pt, bold, in capitals, author(s) name(s) 12
point, bold, and affiliation(s) of the author(s) 12 point, italic, in this
order.
Underline the name(s) of the presenting author(s).
Begin the paper with an abstract of up to 100 words, 10 point, single spaced,
in italics. Indent 1.5 cm left and right. Do not use a heading of
Abstract.
Text: Use A4 page settings with 3.0cm left, right, top and bottom margins,
12 point, single-spaced, with left and right justification. Use italics
rather than underlining for emphasis.
Do not use footnotes. If necessary group any notes at the end of the text
before the references.
Do not use headers and footers.
Do not separate paragraphs with a blank line. Indent the start of each paragraph
by 1cm. Use a 6 pt space before paragraphs.
Diagrams should be placed in the text where they are to appear. Preferably
diagrams should be produced by software. Otherwise use black artline ink.
Diagrams should be headed as Figure 1, Figure 2, etc with captions.
They must be referred to in the text. Use APA layout.
Use table commands or tabs to produce tables. Do not use the space bar to
align figures and text. Tables should have a caption, be numbered successively
and be referred to in the text. Use APA layout.
All headings should be in lower case. Do not use underlining. Three levels
of headings should be used if necessary. Major headings should be centred,
lower case and 14 pt bold. Second level should be 12 pt left aligned and
bold. Third level headings should be 12pt left aligned in italics. Use 6pt
spacing before and after all headings.
Indent quotations longer than three lines 1.5 cm left and right, using a
10 pt font. For shorter quotations identify by double quotes in text, 12
pt font.
Use APA referencing style in text and for reference lists (with italics
not underlining).
Use an ink-jet or laser printer. Avoid dot matrix print, since it is not
satisfactory for photocopying.
An example of this layout and formatting can be found on the conference
web site.
Do not number the pages (pencil page numbers lightly on the back
of each page) or staple the copies of the paper.
Send five copies of the paper to the address at the end of this announcement. Three of these copies should have the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s) removed for purpose of blind review. Be sure that the other copies with the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the author(s) are camera-ready (please identify them as such). Fax copies will not be accepted.
Electronic versions of the paper should also be sent on a disk, with
each file clearly labelled. Use author names and a short abbreviation for
the content of the paper for the file name. For example Jones/Brown/CompLearning.
(Windows users will have less flexibility).
Enclose a fully completed proposal form and registration deposit.
B. GUIDELINES FOR PREPARATION OF PROPOSALS
Proposals should be submitted for workshops/discussion/working groups/posters.
Workshop presenters should indicate whether they prefer a 40 or 90 minute
time slot.
The headings below apply to all presentation types.
The Proposal (a maximum of ONE page) should explicitly deal with appropriate points from the following summary headings, preferably in this order:
Title
Presenter details
Presentation type (i.e. workshop/ discussion/working group/poster)
Length of time slot
Objectives/purpose/description
Theoretical framework/background for ideas
Methods/techniques/activities/ questions
Technology and support required
Discussion/results/conclusions/ points of view
Significance of topic
References
Format
Use the same format and submission details as described above for papers,
as appropriate.
Submission of Papers and Proposals
New authors and others who would like feedback on their papers and an opportunity to re-submit them should send in their papers by the Earlybird submission deadline of 30 January.
All papers, abstracts and proposals may be submitted via email, but should also be sent on a virus-free disk by 31 March 2000 (see below), along with five hard copies - (see the Call for Papers form). All submissions should be in Microsoft Word format, or if this is not possible, please submit the document as a Rich Text Format (RTF) file.
All disk submissions should have a filename of author names and a short abbreviation for the content of the paper for the file name. For example Jones/Brown/CompLearning. (Windows users will have less flexibility). If you are submitting more than one paper or abstract please add a number to each surname.
Emailed papers, abstracts and proposals should be submitted as attachments, not part of the message body. Please indicate whether or not you want your paper to be considered for the refereed Conference Proceedings.
Due to a number of requests the deadline
for submission of papers has been extended to April 30th. We hope this will
assist potential authors.
