INFORMATION FOR PRESENTING AUTHORS

AUTHOR INFO

Papers will be allowed approximately 25 minutes under normal circumstances. Authors requiring more time need to contact the Conference Director, Dr. Mittal (Tel. 845-897-1654, Fax 845-897-2361, E-mail: klm@mstconf.com), to make appropriate arrangements.

POWERPOINT

Presenters have a range of options for audio-visual support as follows:

1. MST will provide a digital projector for those who want to bring just a memory stick or a CD containing their presentation. This works out best for relatively straightforward presentations without videos or other exotic features.

2. Presenters can also bring their own laptops which can be plugged into the digital projector. This may be necessary if the presentation includes features that might not be supported by the available software.

3. Facilities for using overhead transparencies and 35mm slides will also be provided.

Finally we suggest that all presenters have backup copies of their talks on either a CD or a memory stick.

MANUSCRIPT

Please note that presenting authors have the option of submitting a manuscript for publication in the Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology (JAST) which will be edited by the Conference Director Dr. Mittal. The manuscript should be handed to Dr. Mittal at the time of the meeting. There is no hard limit on the number of pages allowed however the manuscript should not contain unnecessary redundancies. Authors should follow the style recommendations given on the back page of each issue of JAST. The main requirements are for the use of a 12 pitch font with double spacing. All figures and tables should be clearly labeled and careful attention given to the references to be sure they are correct. Please avoid referring to obscure publications which are not generally available in the scientific literature.
