Instructions for poster presentations
The Organising Committee is pleased to call for contributed papers, limited
to one paper per congress delegate as first author. Papers must be submitted
in English. Authors whose native language is not English are strongly advised
to have their manuscripts checked by an English-speaking colleague prior
to submission.
Conference Proceedings
Proceedings of the 8th WCGALP will be published in full on a CD-ROM to be
distributed at registration to all delegates along with the programme booklet
and the book of summaries. The full proceedings will be also published
fo open access in this web site, having an ISBN-Number for proper citation.
However, only papers actually presented at the Congress will be included
in the proceedings.
Electronic submission and editorial process
Papers will only be electronically submitted and processed. After registration, enter the Paper Submission menu option for paper uploading. Please note that papers may NOT be submitted by e-mail. A communication
is made up of two separate texts in English, a paper, and a summary.
Authors are asked to indicate their preference for
oral or poster presentation and give their preferred session numbers, but
there is no guarantee that these choices can be accommodated.
Authors may consult the status of their paper online and will be notified
by May 15, 2006, of its acceptance or rejection and whether an accepted
paper is scheduled for oral or poster presentation.
Deadline
The online reception of papers will cease at 24:00
hours (Brasília time) on February
8, 2006. Papers may be re-submited at will up to, but not after,
that date.

.: Length of texts
Papers and summaries are separate texts.
The maximum length is 8 pages for invited papers, 4 pages for contributed
papers and 2 pages for contributed computer software papers.
Summaries must not exceed 13 lines (all lines included).
.: Typesetting
- Use WORD.
- Summary AND article (including
tables and figures) the body of the text should only occupy 13.5 cm. x 18.0
cm.
- Text is to be single-spaced, left- and right-justified.
- Use a 10-point Times Roman or Times New Roman font.
- Superscripts and subscripts should be at least 8 points in size, and be
clearly visible and identifiable.
- Separate paragraphs by a blank line. Do not indent the beginning of paragraphs.
- Use italics for names of species (e.g. Coturnix japonica), of loci,
genes or markers (e.g RYR-1, S0088), and expressions like et al.
and ad lib.
.: Layout of text
1) Paper
- The title should be in upper case, bold type and centred at the top of
the first page. Leave two blank lines below the title.
- The authors' names should be in lower case, bold type and centred on the
page. Leave one blank line below the authors' names.
- Give authors' affiliation and address in lower case, regular type and
centred. Use superscripts 1, 2... for different locations (see sample paper).
Leave one blank line below the addresses.
- Left-justify all headings.
- Main headings should be in upper case, bold type (e.g. MATERIAL AND
METHODS) ; text should follow on the next line.
- Secondary headings should be in lower case, bold type and end with a full
stop (e. g. Creation and selection of the Tiameslan line.) ; text
should follow on the same line.
- Lesser headings should be lower case, in italics and end with a full stop
(e. g. Crossbred performances.) ; text should follow on the same
line.
2) Summary (13 lines or less)
- The title should be in upper case, bold type, left-justified and end with
a full stop. Next, starting on the same line, the authors' names should
be in lower case, bold type, and end with a full stop. Finally, the affiliation
and address of the presenting author only should follow immediately in lower
case and regular type, and end with a full stop.
- The text starts on the next line.
- The one-paragraph text should be complete in itself, informative, and
understandable without reference to the paper.
.: Computer Software papers
The papers should follow the style of the other papers
for the title, authors and addresses. The title should contain the name
of the programme. Suggested headings for the body of the paper are COMPUTING
METHODS (model and algorithms used), USE (successful application), AVAILABILITY
(including electronic address for downloading, date of availability and
costs), COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT (machine/operating system requirements and
computer languages) and REFERENCES. The summary should describe the intended
functions of the programme, and it should give the electronic address (and
conditions) for downloading it.
Software papers do not count towards the limit of one contributed paper
per first author.
.: Tables
- Tables should be single-spaced and placed in the
correct position in the text (both in the hard copy and in the electronic
file). Leave one blank line between the heading and the table.
- Tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals in the form « Table 1 »
starting at the left margin. They should be followed on the same line by
a title which is comprehensible without reference to the text. The title
should be in lower case and bold type.
- Each column or row heading should only have the first letter of the first
word in capitals. Units should be shown in the headings in parentheses and
not in the body of the table. Tables should have horizontal lines on the
top and bottom and under column headings (see sample paper). There should
be no vertical lines between columns.
- Footnotes should be referred to in the table by upper case, regular type,
superscript (e.g. A, B ,C).
- When they are referred to in the text, tables should be typed in full,
e. g. « Table 2 ».
.: Figures
Authors are encouraged to take full advantage of the
colours widely available in the computer graphics package since the proceedings
will be on CD-ROM.
- Lettering on the figure should be in lower case using sans-serif font,
e. g. Arial or Helvetica.
- Legends and symbols should be defined in the figure or in the title. Axes
should be labelled with units in parentheses (e. g. mm) .
- A title should be placed under the figure. It should be in Times Roman
or Times New Roman (10 pt), lower case, bold type.
.: Photographs
An electronic text may be enriched with one colour
picture when deemed necessary (breed in conservation, colour phenotype).
- A title should be placed under the photograph. It should be in Times Roman
or Times New Roman (10 pt), lower case , bold type.
.: References
- In the body of the text, references should be restricted
to authors' names, followed by year of publication.
The name of the first author will be followed by et al., if the paper has
three or more authors.
There is no comma between the author's name and the year.
The earliest work to be cited first.
Letters following the year (a, b,...) must be used to differentiate papers
of the same authors published in the same year.
A semi-colon should separate references of different authors.
- A complete list of references cited in the text must be given in alphabetical
order at the end of the paper and be preceded by the major headline, REFERENCES.
In the list, the author's names, year of publication, name of journal, volume
number, and first and last page number, should be in lower case and given
in this order.
For references which overflow to a second line, use a 1 cm indentation at
the start of the second line.
Journal names should be abbreviated and in italics, and volume number should
be in bold print.
Do not include the title of the paper.
