Abstract
These guidelines are provided for the preparation of extended abstracts submitted to the 48 th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing / 48e Symposium canadien de télédétection. All abstracts are subject to review by the Scientific Committee with the final decision made by the Technical Program Committee. If this process leads to acceptance of the abstract, subsequently the final version of the abstract should be submitted, and the accepted corresponding author must register by the deadline provided by the technical program committee to present the work described in the submitted abstract at the Symposium either as an oral or a poster presentation.
Submission Requirements
Submissions may be made in English or French. Abstracts are submitted as PDF files through ConfTool. The author list in the document must match the online submission form in both number and order.
The abstract must have the following structure:
- Title (the first word and all nouns start with a capital letter)
- Author(s) and affiliation
- Keywords (5-8 words separated by comma)
- Main body (maximum two pages or 1000 words)
- Illustrations (maximum one page, optional)
- References (maximum 8 references, optional)
Main body of the abstracts is restricted to two (2) pages or 1000 words, whichever is reached first. The main body must include a clear summary of the contribution (research question, relevance, proposed solution, experimental evaluation). The paragraphs in the extended abstract are to be indented 0.5 inches, and fully justified.
Illustrations are optional, can only include figures and tables, must be placed after the main body, and shall not exceed one page. While figures and tables are usually aligned horizontally (centered) on the page, large figures and tables can be rotated by 90 degrees. If so, make sure that the top is always on the left-hand side of the page. All captions must be typed in upper- and lower-case letters, centred directly beneath the illustration. Use single spacing if they use more than one line. All captions are to be numbered consecutively, e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, … and Table 1, Table 2, Table 3, ….
Optional full-paper publication
Authors of accepted extended abstracts may optionally wish to submit full papers to:
- The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences (ISPRS Archives). These submissions will NOT be peer reviewed.
- The Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing (CJRS) in the Special Collection on the 48th Canadian Symposium on Remote Sensing. Submitted manuscripts will be subject to the peer review process of CJRS.
Based on the extent of their research, authors with accepted extended abstracts may choose to pursue full paper publication using either one or both of the options above. In the case that both options are pursued, the two full papers must differ significantly in order to meet publication standards and requirements for uniqueness of the publications.
References
References must be cited in the text, for example (Smith, 1987a), and listed in alphabetical order in the reference section. References are optional, and a maximum of eight are permitted. The arrangements below are to be used:
- References from Journals: Journals must be cited like (Smith, 1987a) or (Michalis and Dowman, 2008). Names of journals can be abbreviated according to the “International list of periodical title word abbreviations”. In case of doubt, write names in full.
- References from Books: Books must be cited like (Förstner and Wrobel, 2016).
- References from other Literature: Other literature must be cited like (Smith, 1987b) and (Smith, 2000).
References from Websites: References from the internet must be cited like (Chan and Qin, 2017) and (Maas et al. 2017). Use of persistent identifiers such as the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) rather than URLs is strongly advised. In this case the last date of visiting the web site can be omitted, as the identifier will not change. - References from Research Data: References from research data must be cited like (Dubayah et al., 2017).
- References from Software Projects: References to a software project as a high-level container including multiple versions of the software must be cited like (GRASS Development Team, 2017).
- References from Software Versions: References to a specific software version must be cited like (GRASS Development Team, 2015).
- References from Software Project Add-ons: References to a specific software add-on to a software project must be cited like (Lennert, GRASS Development Team, 2017).
- References from Software Repository: References from software repositories must be cited like (Gago-Silva, 2016).
