The proceedings will be published in New Astronomy Reviews (New Astronomy Reviews at Science Direct) of Elsevier Science publishers. This journal is listed in ISI. All contributions will be peer reviewed and edited for content and style. The papers are going to be reviewed by a member of the SOC and a participant of the school in order to increase the quality of the proceedings.
The deadline for submission of manuscripts in PDF format is February 1, 2008. Please send your manuscript to marconi@arcetri.astro.it,Andrzej.Niedzielski@astri.uni.torun.pl

Manuscripts must be prepared according to the instructions given below. Further information on general instructions to authors from this journal may be found on the Elsevier’s Author Gateway web pages.

Instructions
Manuscripts should preferably be prepared in LaTeX using Elsevier’s manuscript preparation style "elsart". The "elsart" style files as well as a description on their use can also be found on Elsevier’s Author Gateway. It can be retrieved by anonymous ftp from one of these mirrors of the Internet Comprehensive TEX Archive: UK mirror, Germany mirror,USA mirror.

The allocated page limits are:
  • Physics of AGN: 15-16 pp per hour of lecture

These limits are not strict in the sense that a few pages more than allocated can in principle be accepted, taking into account that we have a global strict upper limit of 400 pages.

You must submit a PDF file of the article in its final form by the deadline of September 4 in electronic form to the Guest Editorial Team (e-mail: marconi@arcetri.astro.it,Andrzej.Niedzielski@astri.uni.torun.pl). When the review process will be finished, we will request you to submit the following documentation in electronic form to the Guest Editorial Team:

  1. The LaTeX file of your contribution(s)
  2. Separate files for any diagrams or images (please make sure that they complish with Elsevier’s artwork standards)
  3. A postscript file of the article in its final form.

The postscript file is for reference purposes only and will serve to ensure that all the matter pertaining to the contribution has been received by the editors.

Please note...

  • Don’t alter the basic New Astronomy Reviews format regarding line spacing, indentation, etc., as set out in the LaTeX style file.
  • Prepare your manuscript in black-and-while, with illustrations in grey scale.
  • Each publication should specify (i) a title, (ii) a running title of up to 40 characters, (iii) authors’ addresses and affiliations, (iv) up to four PACS codes from Elsevier Science or AIP and up to six keywords from general astronomical journals, (v) the author to whom all correspondence should be sent including a fax number and/or e-mail address where possible.
  • An abstract up to about 150 words must be supplied.
  • Place your illustrations and tables inside the text body and provide captions for all of them.
  • References in the text are indicated by name and date, and the full reference should be given in an alphabetical list at the end of the paper.
  • If you change your address before the publication of the proceedings, please inform the editors accordingly so that they may ensure that you receive your copy of the proceedings.
