[Air-L] Full specs for AOIR-ICS issue

[Barry Wellman]

Some folks have asked for a clarification of the requirements for the
spcial AoIR issue of ICS. Here it is.

In short ...

Sept. 1st papers come in.
Oct. 1 comments go back.
Nov. 5th final revised versions come in.


>From the email sent to potential authors ...

... the process goes as follows:

Phase 1 -- Completed -- A short list of papers/authors were invited by the
editors to submit a formal paper by Phase 2. The list has been closed.

Phase 2 -- Heads-up to the Short List
2. If you're on the short list, please submit a full paper of 5-7,000
words by ** September 1, 2007 ** to both editors: Haythornthwaite and Wellman.
NOTE: This is a hard deadline. No papers will be considered after this deadline.

3. The editors will return comments and suggested edits on your paper by
October 1, 2007. (We may also secure an additional referee, if needed.)

4. Return the final paper to both editors by ** November 5, 2007 **.

Please note that due to the quick turnaround time to have the special issue out
early in January 2008, *no* extensions will be given for these deadlines. You
are, of course, free to submit the paper at a later date for ICS, but it will no
longer be considered part of the special issue if you miss either the September 1
or November 5 deadline. (Please submit late papers directly to Brian
Loader, the ICS editor).

Papers should conform to ICS style as indicated at this URL. Please pay particular
attention to ICS formatting for references both in text and in the final reference
list.
See http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/ricsauth.asp

In addition, please follow these guidelines for papers sent to the special issue
editors:

-- Use Times Roman typeface, 12 pt text for normal text throughout

-- Double space throughout

-- Add line numbers, by page (in Word for Windows this is under File:
Page Setup: Layout; on Word for Mac this is under Format: Document: Layout)

-- Submit Word files only (no pdf, LaTex, or Word Perfect please).
