Paper Formats
The 13NCEE program will be designed with community-submitted papers. Papers will be a maximum of 4 pages, with an abstract limited to 200 words, and a maximum of 5 figures (included in the 4-page limit). References are not included in the page limit but must be formatted per the 13NCEE style. There will be no preliminary abstract submission and review. The first and only submission will be a 4-page paper manuscript. All papers must be submitted using the 13NCEE paper template. This format and length are designed to be similar to a ‘technical note’ accepted by many technical journals.
