Please, follow this link to submit your abstract: JACoW Scientific Programme Management System (SPMS).
All primary authors must own a profile and associated account within the JACoW repository before submitting an abstract. Use the link and follow the instructions to check whether you already have a JACoW profile and associated account. Create one if necessary.
Once logged into the PCaPAC 2018 SPMS, please check that the data in your JACoW profile is up to date, especially your e-mail address and affiliation.
All the abstracts received for PCaPAC conference will be accepted in either oral contribution or poster. Furthermore, the Scientific Program Committee reserves the right to transform some oral contributions into posters or vice versa.
Authors are reminded that, since no contributions are accepted for publication only, any paper which is not presented by one of the authors at the conference will be excluded from the proceedings. The Scientific Program Committee reserves the right to refuse posters for publication that have not been properly presented in the poster sessions. Manuscripts of contributions to the proceedings (or enlargements of them) are not considered as posters.
Submit your abstract(s) by clicking on the Submit A New Abstract link and following the instructions below.
Abstract Title
Enter the title of the contribution using initial capital letters, for example, “This is a Paper Title in Initial Capital Letters”.
Abstracts Classification
All contributions are grouped by main and sub-classification. Authors are reminded that it is their responsibility to properly classify their abstracts to ensure that, if accepted for presentation, the paper is properly placed within the conference programme.
Abstract Text
The text should not exceed 1200 characters.
Special Characters
Since electronic submission over the web does not allow a simple, straight-forward system to enter Greek symbols, superscripts, or subscripts, authors are requested to avoid using them.
Footnotes/Funding Agency
Footnotes should not exceed 200 characters. Enter references to publications as many times as necessary and with a carriage return between each.
Reference to funding agencies should not exceed 200 characters. This field should not be used to request sponsorship at the conference. No carriage returns are allowed. Once the abstract submission is complete, hit "Submit".
Abstract Editing/Entry of Co-authors
After having "submitted" the abstract, a new window allows authors to print, edit, withdraw, and also to enter co-authors and designate their roles:
-
Primary/submitting authors ( the persons normally contacted on concerninh the programme and the conference organization
-
presenter/Speaker (the person who would present the invited oral/contributed oral/poster)
-
co-author
It is also possible to assign multiple affiliations to authors and to remove authors.
Note that when you enter co-authors, the JACoW SPMS system will search to see whether a profile/account already exists for the co-author. If it does not, you will have to create a profile for them. Please be extremely careful with your data entry as this profile will be added to the JACoW repository. Co-authors properly entered in the SPMS will thus appear in the list of co-authors, which will be included in the programme booklet and in the author index of the proceedings. Failure to do so means they will be excluded from the author index in the conference programme booklet and in the proceedings.
If a paper is selected for oral presentation, the role “presenter” automatically becomes “speaker”. The roles thus assigned are used to generate the sort order for co-authors in the table of contents. The names of primary/submitting authors appear first in the list of co-authors, followed in alphabetical order by co-authors with the same affiliation. Co-authors from other affiliations are grouped by affiliation, in alphabetical order.
