International Bedload Surrogate Monitoring Workshop Template for Papers, provided December 8, 2006 – contact with questions

Template for Proceedings Papers, International Bedload Surrogate Monitoring Workshop, April 11-14, 2006 (see page 3++ of this MSWord file)

Papers due to in format provided on pages 3-5 by January 31, 2007.

Draft papers will be made available on-line to all workshop attendees by March 31.

The final proceedings, published in the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) “Scientific Investigations Report” (SIR) series, will be published in 2007.

Papers are to be provided double-spaced in single-column format as shown on pages 3-5. All papers will be double peer-reviewed. Authors will return their revised papers to to be reformatted by an editor into the final 2-column format for the USGS SIR series.

Any number of USGS SIR reports may be consulted to better understand formatting requirements, particularly for tables and figures. For example, consider accessing:

, “Use of an ADCP to computer Suspended-Sediment Discharge in the Tidal Hudson River, New York”

or (better for examples of tables)

, “Physical and Chemical Characteristics of Knowles, Forgotten, and Moqui Canyons, and Effects of Recreational Uses on Water Quality, Lake Powell, Arizona and Utah”

Direct email questions concerning report preparation to .

Content of your paper, of course, is the province of the author(s), but we request each author to include in the submitted manuscript with the following points, woven into the manuscript as the author(s) see fit:

  • What technology was tested?
  • What is the approximate cost?
  • What special expertise is required to derive reliable data from the technology?
  • How reliable were the ground-truth data?
  • In what type of system was the technology deployed (field, lab, sand, gravel, etc.)
  • Was the performance of the technology acceptable under the conditions deployed?
  • How robust (useable over a wide range of conditions) does the technology show promise?
  • Is there information on uncertainty associated with the estimate or ground-truth data?
  • What are the major benefits and drawbacks of using the technology?
  • Is the technology considered ready for operational deployment in monitoring programs?
  • If not, what additional work is needed to validate the technology?

It is acceptable to use in the manuscript information that has been previously published and updated for this workshop, considering that it should have added value when compiled with the full suite of like-themed papers. In other words, a complete paper synthesis may not be necessary. Alternately, consider writing an entirely new manuscript, and subsequently update and submit it to a journal of your choice.

Heading 1 (typically, it’s Introduction)

This is an example of what the body of the text. Use either Times, Times Roman orArial fonts throughout the manuscript.

For tables use the example shown below to set it up; you may change the width and height of columns and rows, but not the type sizes or the line weights. If you have figures and (or) tables, insert the “placeholder lines” that say “Figure 1 near here” or Table 1 near here” and so on, as appropriate. This will help the editor ensure your figures and tables are placed on the closest pages to where they are mentioned in the text.

You are not required to use headings, but if you do, please choose heading 1, heading 2, or heading 3 as appropriate. Please use USGS styles for reference lists; a few examples are shown below.

Artwork

Submittables as well as artwork files for graphs, charts, maps, photographs, or line drawingsas separate pages at the end of your manuscript, or as separate files if they are large memory-wise. Clearly identify illustration numbers (as indexed in the text) and provide appropriate captions. Please use only Adobe Illustrator software or similar drawing software to compose your figures, or as JPEG files.(neither ArcInfo files nor PowerPoint slides will be accepted). For photographs, please provide a high-resolution JPEG file (if these files are too large to pass through email filters, a public FTP site will be provided to upload your photos for us to subsequently download; inquire to if this is the case). When this volume is ready for production, you will be requested to send your files in their native formats, so please save your work as MSWORD files for all text and tables, Adobe Illustrator files for artwork, and JPEG for photographs.
