International Mine Water Conference

Plenary presentations will be 45 minutes (40 minutes presentation + 5 minutes questions)
Regular presentations will be 25 minutes (20 minutes presentation + 5 minutes questions)
The venue will only make provision for electronic presentation via a computer and data (DLP) projector. While presenters are advised to finalise their presentations well in advance, a facility will be available on site for final formatting of presentations and handover to the conference organisers, either on CD or on a data stick by no later than 07h00 on the morning of the presentation day.

The size of each poster is restricted to a maximum size of A0 (width about 900mm and height about 1200mm). Each poster presentation will be limited to one A0 poster which should be hung in the portrait format.

Papers will be required to be submitted in a standardised format that will be communicated directly to persons whose abstracts are accepted and will be published on this website at a later date.

These guidelines are for your written conference POSTER paper. Papers will be produced on a CD-ROM that will be distributed to all delegates attending the conference. The manuscript must use a consistent one-column format on A4 size paper with a maximum length of 4 – 8 printed pages (including all text, graphics and appendices) and a maximum file size of 3 MB. The submission deadline of 1st July 2009 must be adhered to. Submit the paper as an MS Word file by email to confplan@iafrica.com. All papers must start with an abstract which presents a concise (half page maximum) statement of the scope, principal findings, and conclusions of the paper. Please do not page number the paper or use headers or footers. These guidelines are written in the correct format and may be used as a template. [Times, 11-point, upper and lower case, alignment justify]

All the pages of the paper should be A4, i.e. 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 inches). All margins should adhere to the sizes given in Table 1 below. All the text must be single-spaced and in one-column format. The font must be 10 point Times, Times Roman or New Times Roman, including figures and tables. Leave two blank lines before the sections [Times, 11 point, normal, alignment justify, upper and lower case]

Margin	A4 paper
Left	25 mm
Right	20 mm
Top	30 mm
Bottom	20 mm

Subsection [Times, 11-point, bold, alignment left and capitalize first letters]

Subsections are not numbered. The text included in the section or subsection must begin one line after the section or subsection title. Leave two blank lines (11 point) before the section title and one blank line before the subsection title.

If a figure, photograph, or table has been published previously, the author must obtain written approval from the original publisher. Please note that material obtained from the Internet (such as Google Earth, Mapquest or Encarta) is often copyright protected. While it is sometimes possible to get permission to use such material, this is often difficult and may be expensive. If you are using project or client information, please ensure in advance that you have the right or the necessary permissions to publish the material.

All equations should be centered and embedded in the text. Equations need to be numbered only if they are referred to more than once. Stack numerators over denominators and leave one blank line between equations and text, and between two equations. For example: gggggggggggggggg(2)

All figures, illustrations, photographs and tables should be centered, numbered sequentially and include a caption. Captions for figures should be placed directly below the illustration (see Figure 1). Captions for tables should be placed directly above the table. All elements must be embedded within the document. Each figure should be mentioned or “called out” before it appears. More than one figure may appear on a page.

All references should appear together at the end of the paper (see below). References are listed alphabetically by last name of the first author. When two or more references by the same author are listed, year of publication is taken into account, and the earliest work is listed first. Wherever reference is made in the text to an author’s work, the author’s name and year of publication should appear in parenthesis, for example, (Fisher and Struik, 1974). All listed references must be cited in the text.
