Submission Guidelines

Abstract Submission

Those wishing to present a paper should e-mail a title and 250-300 word abstract to the Conference Administrator Jonathon Louth at apsa@adelaide.edu.au

• Abstracts must be received by 3 May 2004.

The paper-givers name, institutional affiliation (if any), relevant stream and their e-mail address (if applicable) or postal address should be listed immediately under the title. The abstract and other information should be sent as an attachment in MS word.

Paper-givers must specify whether they intend to submit their paper for refereeing in their e-mail (but not on the attached abstract), so that prospective referees for the full paper can be organised.

Paper-givers who do not have access to e-mail may fax the above information to the Administrator at 61 8 83033446.

Paper Submission

Those who do not wish to submit their papers for refereeing should bring at least 25 copies of their papers with them to the Conference.

Refereed papers will be anonymously, externally, peer refereed in accordance with DEST guidelines and papers that are accepted will be published on the Conference website.

• Refereed papers must be received by 30 June 2004.

Please specify the relevant stream in your email and covering note. Any identification of authors should be confined to a separate title page.
