Authors are required to follow instructions for preparing their paper as laid out below. The final copy of the paper will be checked by the Editor to ensure that assessor/editor requirements on the first draft have been fully met. He will also check formatting, spelling and English construction. The Editor and Organising Committee reserve the right to reject papers that do not substantially meet the instructions below or where the spelling/grammar/English construction would require considerable work by the Editor to bring the paper up to the standards required for the Proceedings. All oral papers will be open access and available to all delegates at the start of the conference. Hard copy proceedings will be available for purchase with a 30% discount.
