Submission Procedures
Prospective authors are invited to submit abstracts describing original work for presentation at the 2011 conference in any technical
areas related to digital preservation, image capture and workflow,
and digital curation, including those listed to the left. All submitted
proposals will be peer reviewed by the paper review committee to
assure that the program provides significant, timely, and authoritative information.
ALL papers presented at IS&T conferences are published in the conference proceedings, indexed with various services, filed with the US
Library of Congress, and made available as downloadable PDFs
through the IS&T online library. Authors may propose either a 20-
minute oral or an interactive discussion presentation format. This
enables presenters to engage with other delegates at the conference in the mode best suited to their content and desires. Oral and
interactive papers are considered of equal importance and merit.
Papers presented at the conference should be authoritative and
complete in regard to advancing the state of knowledge in the
area of digital preservation and archiving. The conference
language is English. The author’s preference for presentation
format will be honored as possible.
A web-based form and instructions for submitting an abstract are
found at www.imaging.org/ist/conferences/archiving. Use of this
process is strongly encouraged, although submissions will be
accepted via e-mail at archiving2011@imaging.org. Please put
your LAST NAME and ARCH11 SUBMISSION in the subject line.
Submissions must include:
• a 500-word abstract that clearly identifies the technical content
of the paper. Include information explaining how the material
is new or distinct from previously presented or published work
on the same topic
• a maximum 50-word biographical sketch of the primary author
• mailing address, phone, fax, and e-mail for the primary author
• names of co-author(s)
• format preference: oral or interactive
The deadline for abstract submission is October 17, 2010. Upon
notice of acceptance, authors will be sent detailed instructions for
submitting the full text of the paper for publication in the conference proceedings, including forms for “transfer of copyright.”
Please note that each author is responsible for obtaining appropriate clearance as necessary. Full text papers are due March 20,
2011.
