CONFERENCE ON ENVIRONMENTAL

PROCEEDINGS
PAPER: INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
Each person scheduled to make a
platform or a poster presentation at the Symposium is strongly
encouraged to submit a short paper (maximum 6 pages) for publication in
the Proceedings. A hard-cover of the Proceedings will be mailed shortly after the Conference to each
full-program registrant. The Proceedings also will be offered for sale
by the publisher, Battelle Press. Each paper is to be prepared according
to these instructions and the attached Example Layout and Reference
List Style Sheet. Two camera-ready copies, along with the attached
Contributor's Agreement and (if applicable) the Permission
to Reprint/Quote forms, are to be submitted no later than
August
31, 2007, to Dr. Godfrey A. Uzochukwu (Uzo), Waste Management
Institute, North Carolina A&T State University, Greensboro, NC
27411. If you have any questions about your submission, call Dr. Uzo at
336-334-7030 (fax: 336-334-7399; e-mail: uzo@ncat.edu).
REQUIREMENTS FOR PUBLICATION
The Proceedings will serve as a permanent record of the material to be
presented at the Conference. To ensure maximum currency of the
information and make it available soon after the Conference, it will be
necessary to adhere to a tight production schedule. We ask that authors
submit papers in camera-ready form, and we have set the latest possible
deadline that will allow us to review several hundred submissions,
compile accepted papers, prepare indices, and complete the printing
process soon after the Conference. Submissions must (1) arrive in
camera-ready form by August 31, 2007; (2) be four to six pages in length;
(3) pass the peer review (see "Content" paragraph below); and
(4) satisfy the format specifications. Any submission that does
not meet these requirements is subject to rejection.
CONTENT
Your submission for the Proceedings should provide the most current
information available about your work at the time of submission. The
Example Layout employs main section headings that will be applicable to
most papers. In your closing section, discuss how results obtained to
date can be used in other applications. You may also wish to describe
unresolved questions or additional investigative directions, but
concentrate on how your results can be put to use. Please avoid a
commercial or promotional slant. Although time will not permit
the intensive peer review and revision process we would like to
undertake, each submission will be read by a volume editor, and poorly
written papers will have to be rejected. Spell-check the text and have
your work reviewed by a colleague for technical content, grammar, and
style before you submit it.
