Guidelines for ichim03 Papers

Submission Deadlines

Papers with Copyright Form, and Author's Biographical Note are due July 28, 2003. Upload your paper using our on-line form.

All papers must be original and available for publication in the hard copy Selected Papers, on the conference Web site, and on CD-ROM. If you have not submitted a paper by July 28, 2003, you will lose your place on the program.

The conference organisers will select papers to be published in a hard copy volume. To be considered for that publication, papers must be received by July 28, 2003.

Submission Guidelines

Papers should be uploaded via our on-line submission form.

Copyright Clearance

It is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission for all illustrations included in your paper, any quotations from unpublished material, or any quotations in excess of 250 words in one extract or 500 words in total from any work still in copyright. You must also have permission to publish all tables or poems from unpublished or copyrighted material. Please return the signed Copyright Release Form (PDF) when you submit your paper. We will not publish your paper if we do not have a signed release on file.

Paper Content

Papers should follow the accepted abstract, although additional material can be added. Please contact the Co-Chairs <ichim03@archimuse.com> if your paper is not turning out to be on the topic that was accepted. (It may have to be re-slotted or withdrawn).

All papers should begin with the title, author's name(s), institution(s), country, abstract (approximately 100 to 250 words), and 5-7 keywords. See the example at http://www.archimuse.com/mw2000/papers/trant/trant.html

Recommended length of a paper is 5,000 words (longer may be considered). If in doubt about length, consult the Co-Chairs of ichim03, by email to ichim03@archimuse.com.

General Style

Papers should be laid out for US Letter (8.5 x 11.0 in) paper, with 1" margins. Please double-space all materials. Quoted passages of more than 40 words should be set off from the text by indenting the left-hand margin, as a block quotation.

Do not overly format your paper, as we will just have to undo this, and the time involved may prevent the pulication of your paper.

ichim03 Style Sheet

Use your word processor's "styles" and the whenever possible to specify headings, subheadings, and normal text. A Microsoft Word Style Sheet is available for download: ichim03paperstyles.dot

Illustrations

Do NOT include your illustrations in your text. Mark the place where illustrations should appear with the figure filename and a full caption (including the URL for screen shots). See below for technical formats.

Sample Caption

Fig. 1: The Home Page of the Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnia "Leonardo Da Vinci" http://www.museoscienza.org

Citations

Do NOT use footnotes.

Citation of an author's work or Web site in the text should follow the author-date method; the surname of the author(s) and the year of publication should appear in text.

For example:

McKenzie (1997) found that...

Recent research (Jones, 1998) has shown that...

In other work (Miller & Link, 1994; Bearman, 1995) ...

... at the National Gallery of Art site (http://www.nga.gov)

References to items cited in your paper text should be listed at the end of the paper, under the sub-heading References.

Overall guidelines for preparing papers are taken from the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. More detailed citations dealing with specific questions can be found in the Manual.

Format references as follows (these are not real citations):

Web Site:
To cite a Web site in your text (but not a specific document), it is sufficient to give the address (e.g., http://www.apa.org) parenthetically.

All references to Web sites begin with the same information that would be provided for a printed source (or as much of that information as possible, e.g. author, editor, title, publication date, version number, update date). Because documents on the Web may change in content, move, or be removed from a site altogether, follow the date of publication (and last update) with the date a site was consulted.

Author's Details
Include a one paragraph author's vita of no more than 500 words, and full author's contact details with your paper regardless of whether Archives & Museum Informatics have this data on file already.

Technical Formats

Papers

Papers should be submitted in Microsoft Word (.DOC) or Rich Text Format (.RTF) format. Name the file with the last name of the first author and the appropriate extension (.doc or .rtf).

For example, the text of a paper by Jennifer Trant would be named: trant.rtf.

Please DO NOT call your paper "ichim" or "ichim03". This guarantees it will get confused with another paper.

Please check files for viruses before you submit them.

Illustrations

DO NOT EMBED YOUR FIGURES INSIDE A WORD PROCESSING FILE. Do not include them in your Word or .rtf file.

Illustrations should be submitted as separate files in .GIF, .JPG or .TIF format. Name illustrations with last name of the first author, figure number and extension. For example, trant.fig1.jpg.

Images for on-line publication must not be more than 400 pixels in width. If larger images are necessary for legibility, create thumbnails of this maximum size and also provide a larger image of a maximum 1000x760 pixels that can be displayed as a linked page outside the visual context of the paper. See an example at http://www.archimuse.com/mw2000/papers/semper/semper.html

Keep your original files as illustrations may have to be resubmitted (at a higher quality) for papers accepted for the print volume. This is particularly true of line drawings, for which we will require an Encapsulated Post Script (.EPS) or other vector graphic file format.

If you have any questions about the technical format of your paper, email ichim03@archimuse.com for more information.
