Author Instructions
The outlines provided have been developed by the organizing committee to indicate the topics we think should be covered at some level in your paper. You have some latitude to deviate from the outline and shuffle topics. Please communicate with Patricia Flebbe about changes; I will be “cross-walking” among the papers.
The outlines provided have been developed by the organizing committee to indicate the topics we think should be covered at some level in your paper. You have some latitude to deviate from the outline and shuffle topics. Please communicate with me (Patricia Flebbe) about changes; I will be “cross-walking” among the papers.
Themes 2 (Bottomland Hardwoods) and 3 (Riparian Agroforestry Buffers) authors – Greg Ruark will be working with you to insure that the two papers are distinct with limited overlap.
We expect that you will engage a team of coauthors. At the very least, you should have a practitioner to provide a case study. The suite of authors should included ecologists, hydrologists, economists, other social scientists, etc. as needed to address the conference subtitle “Science at the Crossroads of Economics and Ecology”. I’ll send each lead author names of authors suggested by members of the organizing committee. As you add coauthors, please let me know so I can add their names and email addresses to my lists.
We don’t yet know the journal outlet for papers, but I suggest you use the Journal of Forestry style for now. I will let you know the journal as soon as we can.
Please use Endnote for your literature cited section – otherwise your references will have to be retyped for the hypertext version. Endnote is on the approved list for FS, so you don’t need TA. Many university libraries provide it free, and it’s used for RBAIS.
First draft papers are due January 15, 2007 for the organizing committee to review for general content; at this stage, the papers can be in fairly rough shape as long as we can see how you are developing the theme. Second draft papers are due February 19. These drafts will be distributed to all participants prior to the meeting. They should be in pretty good shape, as we’d like to have them ready to submit soon after the meeting – after you incorporate important changes from the discussions
These instructions, all four outlines, and any future updates will be posted on the website. This will be a living document, and I’ll modify as your questions come to me. We’ll also post conference information as it comes available.
