Guidelines for submissions for Conference

Only
submissions with a completed registration form will be considered.
Authors
of accepted (see above) oral and poster presentations will be given the
opportunity to publish an extended abstract (maximum of 4 A4 pages, including
figures, tables and references) in the conference book. The book will be
entitled:
Advances in motor development and
learning in infancy II:
Fundamental Concepts and Applications
And
will be edited by GJP. Savelsbergh, E.
Thelen, J.A. Carranza y M. Olmos.
The
book will also include the abstracts of the papers presented at the conference.
Please
send the poster book submission as an e-mail attachment to the organisers to: mdl2005@um.es.
The final deadline for receipt of submissions for the conference book is 1st
of March, 2005.
Below
are some general rules to assist you in preparing your submission for the
conference book:
All
submissions should include a title and the names and affiliations of all
authors. Contributions should be no more than 1200 words, including all text,
figures, tables and references. Each figure counts as 150 words. Contributions
do not contain an abstract.
Do
not send any margin specifications: use default settings.
Do
not select any specific fonts: use default font.
Do
not use hard returns at the end of each line: only use hard returns to separate
paragraphs.
Also,
please, be aware that submissions will not be severely copy-edited: the writing
style in which you submit your contribution wil be the style in which it will
be published.
Please
provide the submission in either Microsoft Word, WordPerfect or PDF format.
Only IBM formats will be aceptable. So for Mac users, save your submission in
IBM format.
Provide
tables and figures on a separate page and indicate in the text where it should
be inserted. Standard IBM formats (e.g, Excel, CorelDraw, etc.) are acceptable.
Please note that your figures will be reduced when printed (70%), so try to
ensure that all relevant text and information will still be readible after
reduction.
If
you have any questions or concerns regarding these guidelines, please contact
the conference organisers at: mdl2005@um.es
