ABSTRACTS AND MANUSCRIPTS
Abstract Format
The official conference language of the Zeolite 2010 is English therefore all the abstracts must be written in English. If it is not your own language, we suggest a colleague, experienced in English, to edit your abstract before you submit it. Abstracts must be formatted following the document specifications described below. Abstracts that are not in the correct format will be returned to the author for revision.
The preferred document type for abstracts is Microsoft Word. Format the text in your document using Styles. Zeo_2010_styles.doc has all the styles defined that you will need.
If you cannot use Styles, please format your document according to the following specifications. Examples of properly formatted abstracts in MS Word you could see here.
Document Specifications:
- Maximum length: 2 pages (Do not number pages)
- Paper size: A4, 21 cm wide by 29.7 cm high
- Margins: top 3.5 cm; bottom 2.5 cm; left and right – 2.75 cm
- Font: Times New Roman
- Title: Bold, only first letter capitalized, 16 point, left justification
- Authors: Bold, 12 point, left justification
- Affiliations and address: Italic, 10 point, left justification; address lines separated with semicolons
- First author's Email address: at the end of first author's affiliation line with same format, preceded by a semicolon and labeled "Email: xx@xxx.xxx"
- Body text: 10 point, full justification
- Indents: none for first paragraph, 0.51 cm for other paragraphs, 0.51 cm hanging indent for references at end of paper
- Line spacing: single spacing throughout. Insert an additional space after the title, author list, affiliation list, and body text. (If using styles in the Word template, the line spacing is built in, so don't add additional space after the title, author list, etc. However, do add space above and below figures and tables.)
- Headings (if desired): Bold, 11 point. Please restrict use to the following heading names. Do not use any other names for your headings:
Introduction
Experimental Methods
Results and Discussion
References - References (if desired): 10 point, full justification, hanging indent of 0.51 cm, single spaced.
References are cited in the text by the name of the author and the year of publication, e.g., Noh (1998) or Brandt and Kydd (1998). For references with more than two authors, use ‘‘et al." as in White et al. (1992). Citations in parentheses must include a comma, e.g., (White et al., 1992).
Full references are listed alphabetically by author at the end of the paper and with the year in parentheses. For several publications of an author with different co-authors the following order must be followed: (a) publications of the author alone, in chronological order; (b) publications of the author with a single co-author, in alphabetical order of co-authors; (c) publications of the author with more than one co-author, in chronological order (as they are cited in the form ‘Jones et al.‘ in the text). The name of the author is given surname first, followed by a comma and the initials, with each initial followed by a period and without a space between initials. Do not abbreviate journal names. Volume numbers are in bold. For example:
Jahren, J.S. (1991) Evidence of Ostwald ripening related recrystallizations of chlorites from reservoir rocks offshore Norway. Clay Minerals, 26, 169–178.
Kalt, A. (1968) Une silice hydratée cristallisée: Préparation, structure, propriétés chimiques. Ph.D. thesis, Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France, 197 pp.
Koizumi, M. and Roy, R. (1959) Synthetic montmorillonoids with variable exchange capacity. American Mineralogist, 44, 788–805.
Reynolds, R.C. (1980) Interstratified clay minerals. Pp. 249–303 in: Crystal Structures of Clay Minerals and Their X-ray Identification (G.W. Brindley and G. Brown, editors). Monograph 5, Mineralogical Society, London.
Weaver, C.E. and Pollard, L.D. (1973) The Chemistry of Clay Minerals. Elsevier, Amsterdam, 213 pp.
Arrange multiple references with the same first author chronologically. Personal communications or other unpublished observations may be cited in the text, such as: (J. Jones, pers. comm., 1996) or (J. Jones, unpublished data, 1996).
- Tables, if desired: Use only horizontal rules: One at the top of the table, one separating the table header from the data, and one at the end of your table. Additional horizontal rules may be used in the table header for grouping columns with similar headings, but don't use them to separate individual rows. Table captions: 9 point, full justification, at top of table. "Table n." bolded and followed by one space will precede the caption text.
- Figure captions: 9 point, full justification, at bottom of figure. "Figure n." bolded and followed by one space will precede the caption text.
- Graphics Guidelines
Figures can be either black and white or 8-bit grayscale. Place figures where you want them in the text of your abstract. Reduce or enlarge the figure BEFORE inserting it into the document. The maximum width of a figure is 14 cm. After the figure is properly sized, ensure it is at one of the following resolutions:
line art: 1000 dpi
grayscale and line art mixed: 600 dpi
grayscale only: 600 dpi
Preferred formats are TIFF with the same resolutions as listed above.

Manuscripts
A selection of papers from Zeolite 2010 will be published in a special issue of the journal Clay Minerals (http://claymin.geoscienceworld.org/) that has agreed to consider papers from this conference devoted to natural zeolites. Papers on topics similar to those normally published in this journal will be considered and will be subject to the normal peer review process.
Authors of oral and poster presentations at Zeolite 2010 are encouraged to submit a complete manuscript to this journal.
In order to be considered for the special issues, manuscripts must be submitted directly to the journal Clay Minerals no later than 31 July 2010.
