Abstracts
Submission to the SPESIF-2009 proceedings begins with the completion
of an
Initial Abstract Submission Form. Once authors have read the call
for papers, or know the session to which they wished to submit an
abstract, they are invited to go directly to this form.
Due to
the short manuscript submission time, please review the follow sections and
began preparing your papers upon notification of abstract approval.
Full Draft Papers
Authors who are ready to submit their full
draft papers for consideration by SPESIF's technical editors should email
their submissions as an attachment in MS Office Word format to
spesif@ias-spes.org.
Before emailing your paper to SPESIF, please be
certain to double check that your format conforms to AIP/SPESIF style
guidelines (See below).
Papers maybe returned without review
if not in the correct format.
Please note: PDF
files are permitted during the review process, though not encouraged, as
an alternative to MS Office Word.

SPESIF's
Manuscript Preparation Page provides many of the resources necessary
to meet the requirements for publication in the proceedings. Before you
submit your initial draft to the editors, we urge you to visit this area
to review the current style guide, plus necessary forms and helpful
templates.
List
As mentioned above, one of the requirements for publication in the
proceedings book is
registration at SPESIF-2009. A minimum of one author is required to
register for SPESIF and present each paper at conference. The lead author
is encouraged to present, but in the event that this is not possible, a
co-author may present in the lead author's place. Regardless of who
makes the presentation, that person must be registered for the
conference.
All registered participants, whether they are able to attend
SPESIF or
not, are entitled to a copy of the
proceedings on CD-ROM. Payment of the registration fee also entitles
the registrant to an abstract book, admission to all exhibits, technical
sessions and coffee breaks, plus one ticket to the awards banquet,
scheduled for Wednesday, February 25, 2009.
Registration forms will be available this fall on the
Forms and Guides page.
We offer four different rates, full, one-day, single workshop, and student, as well as
discounts for early registration.
