What and how to submit?

Invited papers

Papers have been invited by IUFRO Division officers (Division Coordinators, and Subject and Project Group Leaders). Only the abstracts will be published in the Congress Proceedings. To be included in the Proceedings abstracts must be approved by the appropriate Division Coordinator. The Division Coordinators must have the abstract both in printout form and in diskette together with a draft of a full-length manuscript by 15 February 1995.

Voluntary papers

Voluntary papers must be related to the Congress Group Sessions. Bring to the session concerned a sufficient number of copies of your voluntary paper for distribution. If you wish to make the oral presentation of a voluntary paper, contact the IUFRO officer concerned, in advance of the Congress. If you do not know who the appropriate IUFRO officer is, contact IUFRO Secretariat in Vienna.

The authors and titles of voluntary papers will be listed in the Congress Report, published after the Congress. Each session organiser must supply this information to the Speakers' Service.

Posters

Special emphasis is given to poster presentations but there is a limit to the number allocated to each Division. Posters will be accepted by Division Coordinators. The abstracts of accepted posters will be published in the Congress Proceedings. The Division Coordinators must receive the poster abstracts both in printout form and in diskette by 15 February 1995.

Guidelines for abstracts and papers

The four IUFRO languages, English, French, German and Spanish, can be used in full-length papers and posters. The abstracts of invited papers and posters will be published in English in the Congress Proceedings. If the original language of your presentation is French, German or Spanish you must also send the abstract in English.

The abstracts to be published in the Congress Proceedings must strictly follow Model for an Abstract . The abstract must include all the items indicated in the model format. It is important that the full address of the author is included in the abstract. On the diskette label you must indicate your name, IUFRO research unit (Subject Group, Project Group or Working Party), and the type of computer and word processing programme you have used.

The authors of invited papers are asked to bring a copy of the invited paper in full-length to the Speakers' Service located in the main building of the University. The paper must be completely finished with all figures and tables. The full-length manuscripts must follow the general guidelines of IUFRO papers. These guidelines were published in IUFRO News 2/1994 and they are also available from the Congress Secretariat .

The copy of each invited paper will be stored in the archives of the IUFRO Secretariat. Papers can be ordered from their authors. The addresses of authors will be included in the Proceedings. If you wish to distribute the copies of your paper in the Congress, bring enough of them with you to the session concerned.

It is recommended that the full-length papers should be submitted for publication in international or national forest research journals. The IUFRO officers may wish to collect related manuscripts for an eventual joint publication, for example, as a special issue of a journal.

Congress Proceedings

The Congress Proceedings will be published before the Congress. Abstracts of invited papers and posters, as accepted by the Division Coordinators, will be published in the Congress Proceedings. There will be two volumes of Proceedings: one will contain the abstracts of all invited papers and the other the abstracts of posters.

Each delegate will receive the Proceedings in the Congress Pack delivered at the Registration in Tampere. Extra copies may be purchased at the time of Congress at the price of FIM 100 per volume. After the Congress, Proceedings are available only from IUFRO Secretariat.

Congress Report

The Congress Report will be published after the Congress. Keynote Addresses and the papers presented in Sub-Plenary Sessions will be included in the Report. Also the list of authors and titles of voluntary papers will be published in the Congress Report. Each session organiser is asked to supply the S peakers' Service with the list of authors and titles of the voluntary papers of his or her session for inclusion in the Congress Report. The Congress Report will be mailed to each delegate after the Congress.

Papers presented in Inter-Divisional Sessions will be published after the Congress in a special IUFRO issue. This issue will be sent to delegates after the Congress.

Oral Presentations

Since there are simultaneous translations only during the Opening and Closing Ceremonies and in the Plenary Sessions, we recommend that you use English in your oral presentations.

Slides or overhead transparencies are recommended for use in oral presentations. Please make your visual aids carefully. The people should be able to see and understand your presentation even from the back row.

Guidelines for Poster Presentations

The posters, an integral part of the Division programme, are accepted by the Division Coordinators. The authors must send their poster abstracts to the Division Coordinators by 15 February 1995. The accepted abstracts will be printed in the Congress Proceedings. See Guidelines for Abstracts and Papers and Model for an Abstract .

All posters will be displayed in the Exhibition Hall adjacent to the main foyer in Tampere Hall from 8 August to 10 August.

The authors should be personally present in two one-hour poster sessions on Tuesday, 8 August, and Thursday, 10 August, at 13:00-14:00 on both days.

The posters will be grouped according to the Division. The authors will mount their posters. The setup times are Sunday, 6 August, 12:00 - 18:00 and Monday, 7 August, 13:00 - 18:00. Dismantling times are Thursday, 10 August, 19:00 - 21:00, and Friday, 11 August, 08:00 - 10:00. A room is reserved in Tampere Hall for the temporary storage of the poster materials.

The panel display will be 197 cm wide x 120 cm high. 15 mm pins will be available to put up the posters in the Exhibition Hall. You should design your poster accordingly. Illustrations must be drawn clearly. The text should be readable at a distance of 1.5 metres. There will be a small table in front of the panel to display any material that the authors wish to distribute to the delegates.

Each stand will have a number and a uniform panel with the title of the poster and the author's name referring to the Proceedings. The locations of the numbered poster stands are shown in a map in the Exhibition Hall.

Any of the four IUFRO languages may be used in the posters but English is preferred.
