THE DEADLINE FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION IS MONDAY JULY 27, 2008.

Preparation

Presenters of all invited and contributed talks have the opportunity to submit papers for inclusion in the MRPM9 Conference Proceedings to be published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP), as part of their Conference Proceedings Series. See http://www.aip.org/proceedings .  Each MRPM9 participant with full registration will obtain a copy of the proceedings. The proceedings will also be available on-line to all attendees, as well as to the greater scientific community via AIP website.

The maximum length of the manuscript will be 4 printed pages in a single column, 8.5 x 11 inch format. AIP supplied templates should be used for the preparation of your manuscript. Instructions is included below as well as from AIP website.

The 4-page limit will be rigidly adhered to. Any manuscripts that exceed the 4-page limit will not be accepted for publication in the AIP proceedings, but will instead be considered for publication in the MRPM9 special edition of the on-line journal Diffusion Fundamentals, along with manuscripts from poster presenters.

AIP will publish your paper exactly as received - i.e., camera-ready. This is different from normal journal publications. AIP does not copyedit or typeset your paper. Therefore it is imperative that you slavishly follow the AIP template provided below, and double check your paper carefully before submitting it to MRPM9, both in the original version, or after any required revision. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed, however, manuscripts determined to be acceptable without requiring scientific or formatting changes will be sent directly to AIP without further opportunity of revision by the authors.

Manuscripts must be submitted as a single pdf file, as per the instructions below, using the link at the bottom of this page. Also, to expedite the review process, please bring two hardcopies of your manuscript for submission at MRPM9.

    Off-prints form            (8x11offprint.pdf)

These files can also be obtained from AIP website.

Please use the MS Word template for 8.5x11 inch paper size. For printing to A4 or other paper sizes, create a pdf file with 8.5x11 paper size, and then use Acrobat’s “fit to printable area” function when printing the manuscript. Do not change the paper size or margins of the MS Word file. AIP requires the margin-to-margin dimension for the text in the pdf file to be that set in the template.  The templates set all margins, page formatting, font and point-size requirements. The templates also include macros that aid in constructing your manuscript file. Please allow Enable Macros on a pop-up window as the file opens, if necessary. Refer to the AIP pulldown menu at the far right of the menu bar for macros to enter tables, references, figures, etc. For further information, visit: http://proceedings.aip.org/proceedings/8x11s.jsp

The copyright transfer form should be signed by a relevant author, and submitted with the hardcopy manuscripts during MRPM9.

Please use the permission form if required during manuscript preparation. Instructions for when this is necessary are included in the instructions booklet above.

Please complete the offprint form and submit with the hardcopy manuscripts during MRPM9, if you desire additional hardcopy reprints (available at your own expense).
