Key Dates

How It Works - Abstracts and Pre-prints

The Scientific Committee will select contributed papers to complement the invited presentations on the basis of the abstracts received. Authors of the selected abstracts will then be invited to submit their work as a full paper, which will form the basis of their short presentation at the meeting. The paper itself must contain new, unpublished work and be submitted by 21 April 2012. The papers selected for presentation and discussion will be refereed and then sent to all participants as preprints.

Preprints will be issued four weeks in advance of the meeting. The discussion will be conducted on the assumption that the papers have been read in advance. Hence, each contributor is allowed only five minutes of their allocated time slot for a formal presentation. The rest of the time will be devoted to discussion, a record of which will be submitted for publication in the Faraday Discussion Volume which will be published by the RSC about six months after the meeting.
