SUGGESTIONS TO AUTHORS
- Each contribution will be limited to 1 page and 1 figure/photo. Word count should be approximately 550 words maximum.
- We ask that you avoid using equations completely.
- In writing your one-page contribution, keep in mind that the main audience is not your scientific peer group. Rather, it is composed of technical people with diverse backgrounds. Imagine that you are trying to explain your research to a DOE or industry program manager whom you are meeting for the first time.
- If you have a web site for your project, list the URL, and we will add it to the contribution.
- You are allowed 1 figure maximum. This will be a color document, so don't hesitate to use color. Large tables count as one figure. Provide a caption your figure and/or table (you can include this caption in your text file.)
- The e-mail address will be listed for the first author.
- Spell out the word "Figure" instead of using "Fig."
