Submission

Workshop submissions

The workshop is embedded within the European COST-Action MOVE (http://move-cost.info/), but open to all interested researchers. It will serve as a forum for the submission of short (1500 words) discussion papers and an intensive interaction and exchange of views between specialists from a variety of domains. It will also serve as an opportunity to specialists from different domains to come together to prepare papers for the associated special issue of Computers, Environment and Urban Systems.

A template for both short papers is available as a Word document (.doc, .docx) or pdf. If you choose not to prepare your abstract using Word, please make sure you follow the guidelines in the example abstract closely.

Submissions should be emailed in PDF-format to Ross Purves with the subject header PMA Submission.

Special Issue

A special issue, with the same aims and scope as the workshop, will be published in Computers, Environment and Urban Systems. Submissions to the special issue may be made by either workshop attendees or others interested in the theme. Participation in the workshop does not guarantee acceptance in the special issue, and authors of papers submitted to the special issue should be aware of the following:

  • Papers must be original, never published in similar or abridged form in English, or any other language (this includes proceedings).
  • All papers will be reviewed by 3 reviewers covering a range of domains, selected by the guest editor, with the approval of the Editor-in-Chief.
  • The journal’s Editor-in-Chief will retain the final decision to accept or reject manuscripts.
  • There is no guarantee a submitted manuscript will be accepted for publication.
  • The special issue will include 5-7 papers.
  • Contributions should be no more than 8000 words long.
  • Papers will only undergo a maximum of two rounds of reviewing - papers still requiring major revisions after a second round of reviews will not be accepted in the special issue.

Submission for the special issue will open in autumn 2012, and follow CEUS guidelines. More information will appear here in due course
