Peer Review
Contributions to the 17th ISTTT will be evaluated on the scientific merit and novelty of their ideas.
A two-stage review process will be used, as in previous symposia in the series. An extended abstract (1000 words)
should be submitted electronically (word or pdf format) to the organisers at isttt17@imperial.ac.uk by 15 January
2006, for a first-round review. If the abstract is accepted, a full length manuscript should be submitted by 30
June 2006, for final evaluation.
The evaluation will be undertaken by referees drawn from the International
Advisory Committee of the ISTTT and other prominent researchers from around the world.
Final acceptance of a
paper will thus be based on peer review of the full paper. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to produce a
final camera-ready manuscript in Word format by 15 January 2007, for publication in the proceedings (now a
journal) by Elsevier, following the tradition of previous Symposia.
The official language for the ISTTT is English.
