Guidelines for the Submission of Abstracts
Where to submit an abstract
Abstracts must be submitted through the FEL2004 abstract submission page.
Abstracts
An abstract is a concise summary of a paper. It should describe the paper and include a statement of the issue, research methods and significant findings. Abstracts should be written as one continuous paragraph.
Deadlines
The deadline for the submission of abstracts to FEL2004 Conference and Users Workshop is:
Friday, April 30, 2004.
Abstract Title
Enter the title of the abstract using headed capital letters.
Presentation Type
Authors of all papers may select "Poster" or "Poster or Oral" in the Presentation Type field. An International Program Committee will select oral presentations from the latter category.
Classification of Abstracts
All contributions are grouped by a classification code. Authors are reminded that it is their responsibility to properly classify their abstracts to ensure that, if accepted for presentation, the paper is properly placed within the conference programme. For the FEL2004 Conference and Users Workshop the classification codes are:
| Conference |
User Workshop |
| C1 |
Single-Pass FELs |
W1 |
Biological and medical sciences |
| C2 |
FEL Theory |
W2 |
Chemistry |
| C3 |
FEL Experimental Results |
W3 |
Physics |
| C4 |
FEL Oscillators |
W4 |
Materials science |
| C5 |
FEL Technology |
| C6 |
New Concepts |
Please read the first announcement for details on the classification codes.
Abstract Text
Length
The text of the abstract should not exceed 1200 characters (including spaces). No carriage returns are allowed. Once the abstract submission is complete, hit "Submit".
Special Characters
Abstracts should be entered in plain ASCII text. A limited number of special characters may be entered in "LaTeX style". Examples are:
| • "\auml" | for ä |
| • "\lambda" | for λ |
| • "10\sup{12}" | for 1012 |
| • "H\sub{2}O" | for H2O |
See the complete overview for a list of the permitted special characters. LaTeX modifiers, other then subscript or superscript, are not permitted.
Abstract Editing/Entry of Co-authors, etc.
After having "submitted" the abstract, a new window allows authors to print, edit, enter co-authors and designate them as primary/submitting, or speaker/presenter, etc., or withdraw the abstract if necessary. Primary/submitting authors may also at a later stage login to their accounts and edit their abstracts/co-author data, etc.
It is assumed that the submitting author would present a paper for oral presentation if it is so selected. The names of submitting authors/persons who will make oral presentations, will appear first in the list of co-authors in the conference programme and abstracts brochure. If a person other than the submitting author would present the paper then this should be mentioned when submitting the abstract.
Notification of Authors
Notification of the acceptance of contributions for presentation at the Conference will be made to all submitting authors after July 26, 2004 following the decisions of the International Program Committee.
