After entering personal information, the author attaches the MS Word text file to the e-mail message. With automatic e-mail reply and forwarding features, it will be much simpler to process the proposals. The office will no longer have mailing costs when sending the papers to track chairs and reviewers. Reviewers will no longer have mailing costs either, as they will use e-mail to submit reviews back to chairs. This process also reduces printing and copying costs.
Authors receive acknowledgment of receipt of their e-mailed submission when it is received.
Written notification of the final status of all proposals will be mailed to lead authors by March 23, 2001. Finally, record keeping and retention is greatly simplified. Papers may be stored on hard drives and disks. Join the discussion about online journals. WordPerfect Presentation Software - free, downloadable.
