To clarify before we get swamped with questions -- this was meant only for those who had been invited to submit. This is not an open call for papers. This relates to the special issue of ICS arranged by the AoIR publication committee. A set of papers were selected from submissions to the conference by the conference chair, and Barry and I as editors selected from that a smaller set for invitation to the special issue. Those authors have a Sept. 1st deadline for their paper to us. /Caroline ---- Original message ----

Some folks have asked for a clarification of the requirements for the spcial AoIR issue of ICS. Here it is.
In short ...
Sept. 1st papers come in. Oct. 1 comments go back. Nov. 5th final revised versions come in.
From the email sent to potential authors ...
... the process goes as follows:
Phase 1 -- Completed -- A short list of papers/authors were invited by the editors to submit a formal paper by Phase 2. The list has been closed.
Phase 2 -- Heads-up to the Short List 2. If you're on the short list, please submit a full paper of 5-7,000 words by ** September 1, 2007 ** to both editors: Haythornthwaite and Wellman. NOTE: This is a hard deadline. No papers will be considered after this deadline.
3. The editors will return comments and suggested edits on your paper by October 1, 2007. (We may also secure an additional referee, if needed.)
4. Return the final paper to both editors by ** November 5, 2007 **.
Please note that due to the quick turnaround time to have the special issue out early in January 2008, *no* extensions will be given for these deadlines. You are, of course, free to submit the paper at a later date for ICS, but it will no longer be considered part of the special issue if you miss either the September 1 or November 5 deadline. (Please submit late papers directly to Brian Loader, the ICS editor).
Papers should conform to ICS style as indicated at this URL. Please pay particular attention to ICS formatting for references both in text and in the final reference list. See http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/authors/ricsauth.asp
In addition, please follow these guidelines for papers sent to the special issue editors:
-- Use Times Roman typeface, 12 pt text for normal text throughout
-- Double space throughout
-- Add line numbers, by page (in Word for Windows this is under File: Page Setup: Layout; on Word for Mac this is under Format: Document: Layout)
-- Submit Word files only (no pdf, LaTex, or Word Perfect please).
