Information for prospective authors
The papers must be original and should not have been published or offered for publication elsewhere. Purely promotional text will not be accepted. The Technical Papers and Programme Committee reserves the right to accept a submission as an oral or poster presentation. Authors must assign all copyrights of the accepted papers to CEDA.
Prospective authors are invited to submit titles and abstracts (maximum 300 words) of papers to be considered for the conference by 7 January 2015. The abstracts must be submitted on-line via this website. Please use the abstract guidelines available on the website.
The Technical Papers and Programme Committee will assess the abstracts. Authors will be informed whether or not their abstract has been selected for the conference by 21 January 2015. Invited authors will be required to submit a draft paper (4000 – 6000 words) by 30 March 2015. All draft manuscripts will be reviewed for quality, correctness, originality and relevance. Reviewers’ comments will be sent to the authors by 1 May 2015. Final papers are due by 30 September 2015. The submission of a paper and our acceptance of it as an oral or poster presentation implies that one or more of the authors will register for the conference, pay the appropriate fee(s) and present the paper in English. The presenting author (one author per paper) is entitled to a discount on the registration fee. If the registration fee is not paid at the time of the submission of the draft manuscript, the paper will be withdrawn from the programme and will not appear in the conference proceedings.
Presenting authors will have 20 minutes to present their paper. An additional 2 minutes will be available for a brief discussion.
The International Association of Dredging Companies’ Young Authors Award will be presented to an author under 35 years of age for the best conference paper.
