The manuscript should follow closely guidelines used by the International Society of Sugar Cane Technologists (ISSCT). For instance, the ISSCT recommends the following for an Abstract:
The Abstract should indicate:
* why study was done (maximum two sentence),
* how study was done (maximum four sentences),
* the results obtained (maximum six sentences), and
* the conclusions drawn from the study (maximum four sentences).
Manuscripts must be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect (preferably) format to the Secretariat by January 31, 2008.
Subject matter should be of interest to an international audience and be of sufficient technological worth and not excessively commercial in nature.
The document should not exceed 3000 words. The number of tables and pictures should be kept within reasonable limits and included only if absolutely necessary. Information in text, tables and figures should not be duplicated.
Major deviations from the above guidelines will result in rejection of manuscripts.
Posters should follow the same general guidelines as for papers but should be of no more than 1000 words. Emphasis should be on use of pictures, tables and graphs. The Abstract for a poster should be no longer than 200 words.
