call for papers

The conference will include both oral and poster sessions grouped around specific topics. Poster sessions will be organized around specific themes, similar, or in addition, to those included in the oral sessions. Continuing the policy of previous MARC conferences, papers presented at the conference will be peer reviewed and published in serial volumes of the Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry.

The first call for papers was issued in January 2008. Please see below for the deadlines and the link to the 1st Call may be found on the rights side of the website.

presentation requirements

Please see the link for guidelines for oral and poster presentations at the conference. Oral presentation will be by computer (PowerPoint) and overheads. The organizers strongly encourage the presenters to have backup overheads prepared in case of problems! No facilities for preparation of overheads will be provided by the conference. Finally, those authors who will present PowerPoint slides must provide the file to the author desk the day prior to the session. This will help insure that we don't lose time while waiting for a problem file to load or suffer from incompatibility. The computers at the conference will be running Microsoft Office products (PowerPoint) so plan accordingly.

PRESENTATION GUIDELINES

preparation of DRAFT manuscripts

Please click on the link below for the requirements for the preparation of manuscripts for the MARC VIII conference for publication in the Journal or Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry. Please note that the manuscripts must be in final journal format (figures at the end, etc) when they are submitted for review. The review will be conducted using electronic versions of the documents, so high quality laser copies should not be prepared for the review process (but will be required for the Journal). Furthermore, the paper that are deemed to require major corrections will be rejected by the reviewers. Authors will be allowed to make minor corrections following the review and submit the paper to the Program Chair.

Bring 2 hardcopies and an electronic copy (a single file, either pdf or word format) which will allow for simple email distribution to the reviewers.
