BIW04 Paper Submission

  Logout Home BIW04 Logo


In addition to a written manuscript, all submissions to the workshop must be presented either as contributed talks or posters. We do not accept manuscripts for publication only.

We ask that you adhere to the following limits for talk duration and manuscript length:

Tutorials: 75 + 15* min; 20 pages
Invited Talks: 50 + 10* min; 16 pages
Contributed Oral: 15 + 5* min; 8 pages
Poster: N.A.; 8 pages

* Time allotted for questions.

Posters

There will be one poster session, which will be held on Wednesday, May 5, from 1:30 to 5:00 p.m. Each poster area will be 40 in. high by 40 in. long. Only Velcro dots will be used to mount presentation masters to the panels. Velcro dots will be available at the workshop for your use. This is a size change from the original instructions. The change was necessary because of a required room layout adjustment.

Papers

Paper Preparation Guidelines

The BIW04 proceedings will be published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP), as in previous years. Manuscripts must be prepared in conformance with the AIP 6- x 9-inch format. Instructions, templates (Word and Latex), and a sample paper are available on-line at the AIP site: http://proceedings.aip.org/proceedings/authors.jsp. Be sure to prepare your paper in 6- x 9-inch format.

This AIP site also contains forms for transfer of copyright, request for permission to reprint published material, and for offprint or reprint orders.

Submission Deadline

Authors are asked to submit their electronic manuscript(s) and one paper copy before 12:00 noon, Wednesday, May 5. You may submit your copyright forms and paper copies of your paper at the workshop or send them by mail to the following address:

Charlie Horak
BIW04 Proceedings Editor
701 Scarboro Road
Oak Ridge, TN 37830

Electronic File Submission

Please submit the native file of your paper (Word or Latex) and a Postscript file. If possible, also submit your original graphics files. To ensure the best translation of your original file into PDF, please follow these guidelines:

  • Use Type 1 Adobe fonts and avoid Type 3 fonts as much as possible.
  • Embed all fonts and graphics when saving the file.
  • Set the graphics for 600 dpi resolution for line art and 266 lines for halftones (noncompressed).
  • Save graphics in grayscale (B/W), not indexed to color (figures will be printed in black and white in the book). Please note that scanning in figures at 300 dpi resolution will not produce acceptable output at the printer.

Your cooperation in using the templates and following the formatting and submission instructions provided by the AIP and on this page will help the conference staff produce the proceedings volume on time and with a minimum of effort.

We ask that you submit your source file (Word or LaTeX) as well as a PostScript file in case the volume editors need to make some minor modifications for the sake of consistent usage or style throughout the volume. A paper copy is needed for quality assurance purposes, to show the editors how you intend the paper to appear.

Checklist for your submission:

1. Source files(s) in Word or Latex
2. Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), JPG, or GIF files of your figures
3. Postscript (fonts and graphics embedded) version of the final, complete manuscript
4. Clean, single-sided paper copy of your completed manuscript
6. Signed Transfer of Copyright form (Please note, AIP cannot publish your paper without a signed copyright form.)

On-line Manuscript Submission

To submit your paper, log into your BIW04 account at http://snsapp1.sns.ornl.gov/pls/spms/profile.html . Your paper(s) will be listed. Under the "Function" column, click on "File Upload." You will be asked for your file type and platform. Note that your source file (Word or Latex) and Postscript file must be named with your paper id number.
