An abstract and a full paper are required from all authors. The abstract will be used to select papers for the conference and will be reproduced and distributed at the start of the conference to all delegates as part of the programme document. Full papers will be collated in a published book by the RSC which will be produced after the conference.

Abstracts

Intending authors should submit an abstract of a minimum of 100 words in length and no later than the 1st August. The format, layout and content of the abstract should be simple and informal to aid reproduction to a common structure and format in an edited programme. Thus, there are no guidelines for abstracts. However, please note that no abstract will be accepted if it is longer than ~1 page of A4 and the abstracts book will present the text of abstract as submitted! It would be appreciated if authors could provide an electronic copy of the abstract in WORD format to facilitate the production of the abstracts book.

The proposed paper should fit into one of the main conference topics. At the time of abstract submission, the authors are asked to indicate which principal session (as outlined on the conference website) they consider their paper should appear.

Abstracts should be submitted to g.b.neighbour@hull.ac.uk. If you have any doubts about whether your contribution fits into the conference scope, please email for advice enclosing a short abstract. The conference organisers will endeavour to respond quickly indicating the suitability of the paper.
