Guide for Authors
Dear authors, you will find comments from the reviewers by logging in to your ISDRS 2017 ExOrdo Dashboard and by clicking on the "View my Reviews" to-do. Please take these comments into account when preparing the final version of your abstract, if changes are requested.
Authors are also invited to submit a full paper (optional). Full papers will have an additional review process. Either way you can register without submitting a full paper.
The ISDRS 2017 proceedings will have an ISBN number and be published via the ISDRS website. Proceedings will be available to ISDRS members as well as delegates to ISDRS 2017 conference and authors retain the copyright of their contribution.
Shortly after the Conference, and independent of the conference proceedings, authors will be encouraged to submit to one of the following leading indexed peer-reviewed journals, within special issues foreseen as an output of the conference: Journal of Cleaner Production, Sustainable Development, and Revista de Ciencias Ambientales.
Full papers and revised abstracts are due by April 15 April 21, 2017.
Authors who submitted a full paper will be notified on the decision by May 30, 2017.
The conference will have a special recognition for the best three papers presented.

ABOUT POSTERS
A poster is an alternative to the oral presentation of a paper. The poster allows authors to create a self-explanatory document, but the authors should be available to interact with viewers and answer questions. It is a highly successful form of communication when it considers the needs of the public and the authors. Posters allow more time for authors and viewers to discuss the topic, more personal interaction and exchange of professional experience, ample question time with focus on your subject, and the potential for continued display of the poster at your workplace. For more detailed guidelines on how to make poster presentations, see the ‘How to make poster presentations’ document.
PREPARATION DETAILS
Each poster presenter is assigned one space on a flat panel. Only works that have been accepted through the review process can be displayed on-site.
Poster dimensions: A1 series A - Portrait 594 x 841 mm
All poster authors are responsible to print their own poster and bring it to the conference. Please note that we do not have printing facilities to print your poster at the University of Los Andes.
We have created a powerpoint file with the correct poster dimensions if you wish to use it. (See the attached file: ISDRS Poster template 594 mm x 841 mm.ppt)
