The deadline for the submission of paper contributions to the proceedings is Tuesday, August 20, 2024 at 23:59 CDT .
You can access your contributions and upload your paper here.
Before Submitting
Be sure that all the paper preparation guidelines have been followed while writing your paper.
Once the paper is ready for upload, use the JACoW Cat Scan Editor tool to validate that the paper source file meets the paper preparation guidelines.
Before submitting your files, access the “My contributions” area of the LINAC’24 Indico system and ensure that:
- Contribution title in Indico is identical to the one in your paper. If not, edit your contribution and update the title with the one in your paper. Note: while the title in the paper must be in all uppercase letters, in your Indico contribution it must be in Sentence case;
- Authors’ list on the paper is identical to the one in your Indico contribution. If this is not the case, edit your contribution and update the list of authors and co-authors. Only the main (first) author must be present in the “authors” area of the Indico contribution; all other authors should be put in the “co-authors” one. Please be sure that only one speaker is selected and that it corresponds to the actual presenter at the conference. This data will be used for the production of the table of contents and author index of the proceedings. Failure to enter all co-authors means they will be omitted from the author index.
- If you are unable to find an author's name, a profile should be created in JACoW and then added to the contribution in Indico.
- If you are unable to find an author's name, a profile should be created in JACoW and then added to the contribution in Indico.
Submisison of Paper
Most authors can generate PDF files, however, the standard is far from uniform and often they are not acceptable for the JACoW proceedings. As such, we DO NOT allow authors to submit only PDF files. Contributions without a source file (.tex, .docx, or .odt) are incomplete and not flagged as available for the editorial team.
Once the contribution has been prepared using the JACoW template and according to the LINAC’24 Paper Preparation Guidelines, the author should submit all files used to produce the contribution as follows:
- Source file, which is a properly formatted MS Word, LaTeX, or OpenDocument.
- PDF file made from the source file. Make sure the fonts are embedded in the PDF file.
- All figure files used in the paper in their native format (.jpg, .gif, .tif, .png, .eps, .pdf, etc.). Please check that the image quality is not lower than what used in the source file, especially for color images, and text in the image is readable.
Only files named according to the paper’s program code can be uploaded. Example for paper code MOXA999, the paper contains two figures, the file names should be:
- MOXA999.tex (or .docx, .odt, etc.) corresponding to the source file and are to be selected in the “Source File” upload box
- MOXA999.pdf, selected in the “PDF” upload box
- MOXA999_f1.eps (or .png, .tif, .jpg, .pdf …) corresponding to figure 1. Figures and other supporting files are to be selected in the “Other Supporting Files” upload box
- MOXA999_f2.eps (or .png, .tif, .jpg, .pdf …) corresponding to figure 2. Figures and other supporting files are to be selected in the “Other Supporting Files” upload box
- MOXA999.bib corresponding to the BibTeX file (if any). The main BibTeX file are to be selected in the “BibTeX file (only for LaTeX papers” upload box
