Paper submission is now closed!

The deadline for the receipt of contributions to the Proceedings of SRF 2015 is:   

Wednesday, September 9 - 23:59 PDT (UT -0700)

This is ahead of the conference so that the papers can be processed by the editorial team and any problems can be analysed and then discussed with authors at the conference.

Authors are encouraged to submit their papers, via their SPMS accounts, well before this deadline in order to avoid difficulties due to overloading of the system.

The successful processing of all contributions during the conference relies heavily on the collaboration of all authors. Since the JACoW editorial team is only available during the conference, any delay in receiving contributions will cause a delay in processing them, and will ultimately jeopardize swift publication on JACoW.

Submit only papers that are final and ready for publication. "Place holders" or "preliminary" versions waste the time of the editors and jeopardize early publication. The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject such submissions.

Only files named according to the paper´s program code can be uploaded via the system. ALL files used to produce the contribution must be uploaded, for example, for paper MOPBP01, file names should be

• A properly formatted MS Word, LaTeX, or OpenOffice/LibreOffice document;

E-mails will be sent via SPMS whenever a processing dot colour is assigned or is changed.
