Submission details

Please submit each contribution, at Theme, Topic or Article Level, as a computer folder containing the hierarchical number of the contribution.

In order to distinguish the folder unambiguously, the name should have both the number and the prefix 'cont' (for 'contribution'). Thus, for example, the Theme level contribution, the first Topic level and first two Articles for Theme 6.3 should be submitted in folders named as follows:

cont.6.3.0.0, cont.6.3.1.0, cont.6.3.1.1, and cont.6.3.1.2.

The main text needs to be supplied as a single file within the appropriate folder. In addition, every table, graphic and appendix, as well as the keywords, author details and author biography, should each be provided in a separate file. Naming of the files should be unambiguous and consistent.

Thus, taking contribution 6.3.2.6 as an example, the components required within cont.6.3.2.6 are as follows:

6.3.2.6.text  (In Microsoft Word this becomes: 6.3.2.6.text.doc)

6.3.2.6. autdtls

6.3.2.6. authbio

6.3.2.6.keywords

6.3.2.6.Table1

6.3.2.6.Table2

etc.

6.3.2.6.Figure1

6.3.2.6.Figure2

etc.

6.3.2.6.appendx1

6.3.2.6.appendx2

etc.

The main text file should contain the following components:

 Title

Author(s) and short address(es)

Keywords (at least five per thousand words)

Short contents list: Section headings, sub-section headings and sub-sub-section headings

Glossary and nomenclature (with clear definitions of all the terms, abbreviations and symbols which may be unfamiliar to the reader)

Summary

Body of the contribution under section headings, sub-section headings and sub-sub-section headings. The first section should normally be entitled Introduction. Equations and chemical reactions (numbered), and all captions for graphics and tables should appear at the appropriate locations.

• i.e. all authors' names and initials (please do not use 'et al'), year,
• article/chapter title, journal/book title (in full), editors, publisher,
• publisher's location, volume and page numbers. Please include an annotation
• at the end of the item, in square brackets.
