BOOK OF ABSTRACTS
Authors of oral or poster presentations are asked to send abstracts of
their presentations. Abstracts should be submitted in English to the
Conference correspondence
address by the time indicated in
deadlines . The length of abstract should be approximately
500-1000 words (not more than two pages including figures) and the
abstract must be sufficiently informative to allow a fair evaluation
of intended presentation. The abstracts will be printed in a book of
abstracts before the Conference. Thus, Organizers wish to receive two
printed copies of each abstract for evaluation purposes and one
electronic media version (MS Word, WordPerfect, Reach Text Format or
plain ASCII) sent by e-mail. Each abstract should contain: the title,
the author's name(s) and affiliation(s), and the text (small figures
or diagrams are acceptable). The corresponding author's name must be
underlined. The author should also suggest the preferred form of
presentation (oral or poster) but the final acceptance and decision
concerning the presentation form will be made by the Scientific Committee after the
evaluation of abstracts.
PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONFERENCE
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the
Geochronometria Journal on Methods and Applications of Absolute
Chronology and only the papers presented by the author at the
conference (in either form) will be considered for publication. The
papers will be refereed according to the rules of the Journal.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS
The scope of GEOCHRONOMETRIA extends over the whole
range of studies carried out in the absolute chronology and using them
in different fields of earth and other natural sciences and
archaeology. GEOCHRONOMETRIA will publish papers that
are concerned with all methods of absolute dating. The submitted paper
cannot be already published or be currently under consideration,
either in part or in full, for publication elsewhere.
Papers will be reviewed by two referees and the editors' decision about acceptance or rejection is final. Papers including all figures, tables and references should not be longer than 40 double spaced manuscript pages.
Three copies of the text with tables and figures should be submitted. Generally no text formatting is allowed except for double-spacing, left-margin justification, empty lines to single out headings (hierarchy shown in Roman numerals in pencil in the left-hand margin), indentation to mark new paragraphs (no empty lines between paragraphs), and relevant usage of capitals and italics in the reference list.
The first text page should contain the title of the paper,
the name(s) of the author(s), their institutional
address(es), key words, a running head and an
abstract. The abstract should not be more than 200 words and
should be informative, with a condensation of the results and
interpretations, not the summary (!) of the text. The text should
contain a statement of the problem, an indication of the approach
taken, a report on data and observations, proposed interpretations and
a discussion, and the conclusions reached. The list of references
should be double-spaced, without indentations, following the journal
style. For example:

Thermoluminescence dating applied to glaciolacustrine sediments from
central British Columbia. Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences 24 (2):
225-234.
Kozydra K. and Skompski S., 1995: Unikalne stanowisko

character of the Eemian Interglacial site in Ruszkówek, Pojezierze
Kujawskie, central Poland). Przegląd Geologiczny 7: 572-575.

Vistulian vegetation at Imbramowice near Wrocław and the pollen
stratigraphy of this part of the Pleistocene in Poland. Acta

References in the text should be of the form: (Berger et al., 1987. Mamakowa, 1989. Kozydra & Skompski, 1995).
Figures, whether vectorized computer-produced or hand-drawn, should be prepared to fit exactly, after being reduced, the width of the column (78 mm), or of the page (164 mm), and must not exceed the page size (240 ? 164 mm). Glossy prints of photographs are treated as text-figures (width of a single or double column) and all should be numbered serially with Arabic numerals. All maps, sketches, profiles, etc., must have a metric bar scale shown.
In the revised version the proposed location of figures and tables and the desired hierarchy of headings marked by Roman numerals should be indicated with pencil in the left-hand margin. Originals of all figures are to be submitted with the revised version of the manuscript.
