How to submit compacts?
Compacts may be submitted only electronically from September 1, 2011 until December 1, 2011 via the conference website.
Compacts must be submitted in PDF format (Adobe®).
Please name the file by your name, for example if your name is Michael Brown, the file submitted should be named michael-brown-1.pdf and in case you submit a second one it should be named michael-brown-2.pdf and so on.
How to prepare compacts?
The page size to be delivered is DIN A4 (210 x 297 mm). It is important that the type area does not exceed
160 x 250 mm. The height of the typefaces must be 12 pt. The maximum number of characters should not exceed 10 per inch. As character set “Arial” should be used.
If you use other fonts than Arial – what is not recommended – the type set must be enclosed in your PDF-file. Otherwise the layout of your paper is not predictable and will differ from what you expect.
The first page must start with a field in which centered the title of the work, the name(s) of the author(s) and the affiliation(s) are given. This field must have the diameters 65 x 160 mm.
You can download a template for Microsoft®-Word here.
Please do not forget to convert your file into PDF-format afterwards.
Tables and figures should be included in the text or appended at the end.
References should be indicated at the end of the text. It is recommended that compacts should not exceed four pages of text and up to six pages including tables and graphs.
Additional information concerning Compacts
You should not mistake a so called Compact with the internationally more common abstract. In comparison with an abstract, a Compact is much more detailed. In general, the length of the compact should not exceed four pages of text and a maximum number of six pages including tables, pictures, graphs. It should not only explain what the author intends to present but summaries the main results and concepts of the work. In particular, a compact should explain new findings, the objectives, descriptions of the methods used and the possibility of generalization.
A Compact has two purposes:
- It is needed by the Peer Review Committee to decide whether the paper is suitable or not to be presented during the Annual Meeting on Nuclear Technology.
- In case it will be accepted, this Compact will be published on the conference CD Rom or DVD.
