GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

A re-statement of well-know facts and principles, available in easily accessible publications, will not be accepted. However, if in presenting new facts and principles it becomes necessary to refer to old material, this may be done as briefly as clarity would permit. References may be given to help interested readers to go deeper into the subject.
3. The aim of the Congress is to pool experience and knowledge, not only n basic principles but also in regard to field studies and actual results obtained. In discussing fundamental principles, try to refer mainly to their practical aspect. Purely academic discussion, whatever their intrinsic value tend to get ignored by the participants in a Congress. But in discussing field results and practical experience, fundamentals should not be ignored. A proper understanding and analysis of a given experience will generality be useful in similar circumstances elsewhere.

Guidelines for preparing abstract and “summary and conclusions” are given in Annex 1. examples of the layout of pages, figures and tables are given in Annex 3.
