Procedures and Resources for Authors of Accepted Papers

This page outlines the procedure for authors who have had a paper accepted in a CRPIT conference or workshop.

Resources

Acceptance and Copyright Transfer Form

  • Standard Copyright Form (.rtf)
  • Government Work Copyright Form (.rtf)

    LaTeX

  • LaTeX Style file for CRPIT Papers (amended 18 Jun 07)
  • natbib.sty - a necessary package
  • harvard.sty - an alternative to natbib
  • agsm.bst - the bibliography format
  • Example LaTeX .tex file for CRPIT Papers
  • Example LaTeX .pdf file for CRPIT Papers

    Word

  • Word Style for CRPIT Papers

  • If your paper is accepted and is to be printed, you will have received notification from the Programme Chair of the Conference concerned. If you have not received this (and you think you should have done), please contact your Conference Programme Chair (not us).

    • You are urged to take this opportunity to revisit the paper to ensure that any comments or suggestions proffered by the referees or, in the case of a post-proceedings volume, at the conference itself (or elsewhere) are included.
    • Your paper should be formatted according to the styles as outlined in the rtf or style files below. Every effort should made to adhere to this look-and-feel. (Previous examples are available elsewhere on the website). Note that only pdf files should be provided as camera ready as other formats tend to mutate! Common formatting errors include:
      1. Not using A4 paper (US letter is not acceptable). Make sure, for example, you have the -tA4 option in the dvi2ps or ps2pdf step if you use that method.
      2. Having the authors names of the title in all capitals.
      3. Omitting email addresses.
      4. Using images that do not copy well. Subtle greyscale definition may be lost.
      5. Including page numbers.
      6. Forgetting the copyright statement.
    • Files should be given names that will mean something to the compilers of the volume - mypaper.pdf is less than useful, whereas roddick.pdf would be better.
    • Camera-ready files should then be sent, in pdf only, by the due date, to the programme chair of your conference or elsewhere as directed by your PC Chair (not to CRPIT). Papers not sent to the PC Chair by the due date run the risk of being omitted from the volume.

    Registration and Attendance at Event

    Please note that it is CRPIT policy that at least one author of all accepted papers to the conferences and workshops in the series would both register and present at the event concerned. Failure to do so without a reason acceptable to the organisers of the event will result in the paper being retrospectively withdrawn from both the proceedings and all citation sources.

    It is also CRPIT policy that all papers be original and not concurrently submitted elsewhere. Once again, we reserve the right to retrospectively withdraw a paper from the proceedings if we later find this not to be the case.

    1. electronically signed and sent to the CRPIT Editorial Office,
    2. printed off, signed, scanned in and sent to the CRPIT Editorial Office, or
