Abstracts submitted for presentations/posters should describe the purpose and scope of the work, contribution to the state-of-the-art, methods used, essential results already obtained, results to be included in the final version of the paper, conclusions and supporting figures and references where appropriate.
The collection of abstracts will be available in the electronic format at the conference, and be viewable on-line when the conference program has been posted (Click here to view important dates).
The committee will review the abstracts on the basis of originality, technical quality, style and clarity of presentation and importance to the field. Abstracts will then be selected for talks and posters.

Publication of a paper in the volume of EPJ – Special Topics entitled “IMA6-Interfacial Fluid Dynamics and Processes”
If you are interested in publishing in EPJ-Special Topics, directly submit to ima6@technion.ac.il an extended abstract (important) of your contribution.
The subject title of the E-mail shall be: “[ima6] Extended EPJST abstract submission by *** (write the first author’s name)”
The following information shall be sent in the message together with the abstract file itself :
- Title:
- Author(s):
- Affiliation(s):
- Paper type : ‘Minireview’ or ‘Tutorial Review’ or ‘Original Paper (v1)’ or ‘Original Paper (v2)’ (see below)

- Extended abstract deadline for publication in EPJ-ST: January 20, 2012
- Decision of the Scientific Committee and the Editor board and Publishers: tentatively March 20, 2012 (depending on the number of contributions)
- Full paper: June 14, 2012
Article types:
- Minireview: A typically 10-15 page contribution, where approximately half of the material is in form of representative mini-review of the entire subtopic/subfield, followed by, approximately of the same length, a short review of own past and present work, coherently summarized and explained in the broader context of the first part.
- Tutorial Review: A 20+ page tutorial review (lecture) on a broader topic that adds significantly more introductory and background material to make this reasonably self-contained reading for graduate students and non-specialists from related areas.
- Original Paper (v1): A typically 5-10 page contribution, which contains a significant fraction of original material e.g. because it is a follow-up paper of a recently published letter or rapid communication providing more background and details and/or possibly an update of results.
- Original Paper (v2): A short study, typically 3-5 pages containing predominantly new material, on a very specific aspect of some broader research published elsewhere.
Not accepted are the following paper categories:
- Only review of own recent work
- Summaries and/or condensates of recently published (or to be published) material
- No a priori restrictions regarding the mix of categories 1-4 above are given from the side of EPJ-ST. The abstracts must clearly reflect the article type. Proposals will be refereed and accepted or rejected on the basis of the quality and completeness of such a proposal.
Final Papers
Final papers will be published in the European Physical Journal as an EPJ Special Topics issue. As such, the guidelines of EPJ are authoritative. Please refer to EPJ’s instructions for authors for the guidelines on the format and style of your contribution.
Papers will be submitted through IMA6, not to EPJ directly. The IMA6 Scientific Committee together with external experts will act as a review committee to assure that papers meet EPJ standards.
