Guidelines for 7th Biennial Conference for Educators in Natural Resources

General:

Extended abstracts for this conference will be made available to conference participants and others via electronic posting on the website. They will be reproduced as submitted with little-to-no editorial or peer review.

Please format them for a single 8.5 x 11 (standard letter) page setup, portrait (vertical) orientation, with 1-inch margins all around. Use 11-point Tahoma font for all text unless otherwise noted below.

Title: Positioned at the top, centered, with a 12-point bold font (Tahoma).

Bylines: List the name; affiliation; city; state; and e-mail address for the main author and affiliation for any co-authors.

Acknowledgements:If applicable, provide acknowledgements after the author bylines.

Abstract: An abstract of 300 words or less should clearly summarize the main points of the paper. Please limit introductory and/or background text in order to focus on study results, discussion and/or implications for educators. Present lengthy methodology only if it is novel and/or crucial to the discussion.

Literature Cited: Follow The Chicago Manual of Style in 11-font. Citations should appear in the text as Burr(1967) or (Burr 1967).

Under "Literature Cited," arrange references alphabetically by author and spell out journal titles. Examples:

CORTNER, H.J., and M.A. SHANNON. 1993. Embedding public participation in its political context. Journal of Forestry 91(7):14-16.

ENDICOTT, E. 1993. Land conservation through public/private partnerships. Washington, DC: Island Press.

Keywords: Please include two to five keywords that are not included in the title.

Illustrations: A single table, figure, or photograph may be included at the bottom of the page and should fit on the page within the same margins as the text. Maintain portrait orientation and avoid using type fonts smaller than 8 point in the illustration. Color is permissible, but make sure it will still be meaningful if printed in black and white.
