Author Instructions

Instructions to Authors of Papers to be Published in the Proceedings of the IAMSLIC Conference

Please send the manuscript of your paper to Jim Markham, Editor of the IAMSLIC 2000 Proceedings, by 1 October, 2000 in order for it to be included in the published Proceedings.

Papers will be accepted at the Annual Conference, but submission by 1 October is preferred, to allow the Proceedings to be published earlier. Papers can be sent as e-mail attachments, or by mailing a disk to the editor. The disk should be 3.5 in., in MS-DOS format as a word processor file. The preferred format is MS Word for Windows, but acceptable word processor formats are nearly all standard ones, including MS Word for Windows, WordPerfect, Word for MS-DOS, RTF, or ASCII. Word for MacIntosh can also be used. Please add 5-10 keywords which best indicate the content of the paper. If possible, please use keywords from a recognized authority list, such as the Aquatic Sciences and Fisheries Thesaurus, or Library of Congress Subject Headings.

All papers will be reformatted and printed in the same standard format and font. To make this easier, papers should not be split into sections, and pages should not be numbered. PowerPoint or other slides can be used as illustrations to accompany text as necessary but the manuscript must be in regular text. Submissions consisting of only PowerPoint illustrations will not be published.
Final text size will be 5 x 7.5. (13 x 19 cm) and all tables and illustrations should be formatted to fit this size.

ILLUSTRATIONS
1. All illustrations should be formatted to fit the final text size (5 x 7.5 in. = 13 x 19 cm).
2. If your manuscript includes illustrations that have been published anywhere previously, please include written copyright permission for reproduction from copyright holder or other appropriate person(s).
3. The IAMSLIC Proceedings are photocopied to make multiple copies. Most half-tone photos do not photocopy well, unless they have been scanned. If submitting photos, please test to make sure the picture can be photocopied, and if necessary, submit the photo in a different form that can be photocopied.
