Paper Length

Authors are advised that because all the papers will be typeset defining an exact paper length is very difficult. However because ESREF papers are limited to a 6 pages limit, the following rules apply:

• Authors should submit no more than 1000 words per page including titles, abstracts, references etc. For example, if you are submitting a 6-page paper of pure text the word count for the whole document should not exceed 6,000 words.
• You should then deduct from your total allowance the appropriate number of words per figure or table depending on the size of the item. If it is half a page you should deduct 500 words from your total, if a quarter page then 250. No less than 200 words should be deducted per figure or table, no matter how small the item is.
