This web page is intended to help authors interested in submitting their
work for presentation at the 2008 Nuclear and Space Radiation Effects Conference
in Tucson, Arizona. This page describes the detailed formatting
instructions for your NSREC summary, and how to electronically submit your
summary and author information to the conference Technical Program Committee.
Please read and follow these instructions carefully!
NSREC Summary Format:
All summaries (including those submitted to both the regular technical sessions
and the Data Workshop) must conform to the following requirements:
1. Prepare a single Adobe Acrobat file (maximum 5 pages) consisting of (a) an abstract no longer than 35 words on the first page, followed by
(b) an informative two to four page summary describing results (appropriate
for a poster presentation). On the first page, please include title, names and company affiliation of the authors,
and company address (city, state, country). Identify the author presenting the paper and provide telephone, fax, and email address.
2. The summary must include sufficient detail about the work to permit a meaningful technical review.
In the summary, clearly indicate (a) the purpose of your work, (b) significant new results with supporting technical material,
and (c) how your work advances the state of the art. Show key references to other related work. The summary must be no less than two and no more than four pages in length, including figures and tables (one additional page is allowed for the 35-word abstract).
All figures and tables must be large enough to be clearly read. Note that this is more than an abstract,
but do not exceed four pages.
3. Prepare your summary in single-column format, using 11 point or greater font, formatted for either
U.S. Standard, 8.5 inch (21.6 cm) x 11 inch (27.9 cm), or A4 (21 cm x 29.7 cm) page layout, with 1 inch (2.5 cm)
margins on all four sides.
4. Obtain all corporate, sponsor, and government approvals and releases necessary for presenting
your paper at an open-attendance international meeting.
5. Summary submission consists of an Author Information Form and a PDF-format copy of the four-page summary.
Submission is electronic only, through www.nsrec.com. Details on the submission process may be found at www.nsrec.com.
Authors are requested to state their preference for presentation (oral, poster, or data workshop poster) and for session.
However, the final category of all papers will be determined by the Technical Program Committee, which is responsible for
selecting final papers from initial submissions.
NSREC Summary Submission Process:
The submission process consists of two parts: submitting an Author Information Form via this website, and submitting your
summary via email to the Technical Program Committee.
1. Submit the Author Information
Form. The Author Information Form serves as a replacement for the usual cover letter. This form
includes the names and affiliations of all authors, as well as contact information
for the primary corresponding author. You will also indicate your preference for session
and type of presentation on this form. However, the final category of all
papers will be determined by the Technical Program Committee, which is responsible
for selecting final papers from initial submissions. Summaries received without a corresponding Author Information Form
will not be considered for inclusion in the conference. Note that the web-based form will not allow you to enter special symbols or characters. Please enter your information as closely as possible. Your entered information will be checked against that contained in your PDF file and any special characters will be re-inserted.
2. After successfully submitting the Author Information Form (above), you will automatically be taken to a webpage with instructions on how to submit your summary via email to the Technical Program Committee.
