The popular summary is a detailed overview of the oral or poster presentation. It should be no more than 3 pages including figures, tables, and references and should summarize the essential information of the presentation. Please follow these guidelines and the printable example in PDF format

Content: Include the following in the popular summary:

Title: The title should indicate contents precisely and be no more than 10 words. Do not use "all caps" in titles.

Contact information: Name, affiliation, complete mailing address, telecommunication number, and e-mail address for all authors.

Text: The paper should contain an introduction, materials and methods (when relevant), results, discussion, conclusion, and literature cited. Standard symbols for measurements and the International System for units (S.I.) should be used. Abbreviations should be spelled out on first occurrence with the abbreviation, in parentheses, immediately following.

Each illustration (table, figure, picture) should have a separate title, be numbered consecutively, and be referred to in the text.

All literature used during the preparation of the paper should be acknowledged. List authors alphabetically and, among publications by the same author, by year of publication. Bibliography format: name of author, initials, year of publication, title, periodical or publisher, number of pages (see below). Abbreviate titles of periodicals. In the text reference, the date should follow the author's last name without a comma (Aubréville 1949) and (McPherson et al. 1982).

Format and Characters: The first page should include the title in bold type, the authors, and a footnote giving the authors' affiliation. Footnotes should kept to a minimum and be numbered consecutively throughout the paper, except in tables. Use 8 ½ x 11 inches page size, all margins set to 2.5 cm, Times New Roman font 12 pt, no syllabication, no indentation, italics for Latin names, single-spaced lines with one free line between paragraphs. Do not use "all caps" in titles or heading. Headings and subheadings should be flush left in upper and lower case letters and in bold type.

Submission of Popular Summary:  Popular summaries must be received no later than May 15th, 2007 as a Word or WordPerfect file. The file should be in Rich Text Format and clearly labelled with your name (last with initial) and session number: e.g., NEWTONP-1-PS.RTF for P. Newton, Session 1, Popular Summary). Note, the editors will not be reviewing or revising the contents of the popular summaries and hence authors are solely responsible for the content and presentation of their submissions. Submit your Popular Summary via e-mail to: pnewton@nrcan.gc.ca

Guidelines for Preparation and Submission of Oral Presentations

Oral Presentations: Digital versions of oral presentations are to be prepared in PowerPoint (Microsoft Corporation) and sent in advance (June 15th  - July 15th, 2007). Complete details regarding this process will be sent to all the oral presenters via e-mail on May 15, 2007.

Guidelines for Preparation and Submission of Manuscripts to Forestry (Oxford)

In association with the journal Forestry (Oxford University Press), we are planning to publish a subset of the presentations in a Special Issue. The normal Forestry-based submission and review protocol will be used and manuscripts must be submitted between August 1 and September 30, 2007. Please note, (1) one copy will be mailed to each participant at the time of publication (2008), and (2) individual authors will be responsible for all applicable page and reprint charges. Complete details regarding this process will be sent to all presenters via e-mail on May 15, 2007.
