9th International Symposium on Vaccinium Culture, July 14-16, 2008

Manuscript Submission:

An Acta Horticulturae (either one or two volumes) will be published as a compilation of the research information presented at the 9th International Vaccinium Symposium. All oral presenters, including invited and key-note speakers, must submit a manuscript for the Acta Horticulturae. Authors of posters are welcomed to submit a manuscript, but the posters information must be submitted to conform to the manuscript format.

Manuscript submission has closed.

If due to unforeseen circumstances you were not able to get you manuscript in on time, please contact Kim Hummer to discuss late submission.

Guidelines for Poster Presentations

Posters will have a maximum size of about 100 cm x 120 cm (40 inches wide x 48 inches long ), portrait orientation.

We recommend that one complete sheet, rather than small multiple sheets be used. At the top of the poster, include the title, author name(s) and affiliations (organization, city, country). We suggest the poster to have title letters at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) high. Lettering for the author’s information (name and affiliations) may be smaller (1.25 cm or 0.5 inch).

Inclusion of a recent photograph of the presenting author will help participants to identify the person to discuss their interests. The smallest lettering on the poster should be no less than 10 mm (0.4 inch) high. Illustrations should be visible from a 1 m (3 feet) viewing distance.

We suggest that authors bring at least 25 small (8.5 x 11 inch paper) copies of the poster to hand out to interested participants.

Poster set-up will take place between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. on Monday July 14, 2008. Pins will be provided for hanging posters. Removal of posters will be on 6:00 p.m. Tuesday July 15, 2008.

Length of the Printed Paper

All verbal and poster presentations are eligible for publication. Manuscripts should be concise. The maximum length of an invited paper is 16 pages and that of a submitted oral paper or poster is 8 pages, including figures and tables. An average page of text will contain about 800 words.

Please prepare the manuscript according to the format of the ISHS sample.

The manuscript will be reviewed by the Scientific Committee and revised by the author(s). Approved manuscripts will be included in the Acta Horticulturae.

Please note: the official language of the Symposium will be English.
