Paper submission deadline

The deadline for submission of a full paper was 30th June 2010. These papers are being reviewed and the editor will notify authors of the result of the reviews. Authors are asked to respond to the reviews as soon as possible. Papers that are presented at the conference will be published on the website in late November 2010.

Terms and Conditions

Your paper is accepted for review subject to the following terms and conditions:

Payment for paper submission does not constitute acceptance for publication or inclusion in the handbook of abstracts.
Payment is due on submission of your full paper and must be received prior to peer review.
Payment should be made by logging in to the Agronomy website and following the instructions below. If you are unable to make your payment at the time of submission, you should use the online help form to notify the editor.
The editor reserves the right to reject your paper and authorize your payment to be refunded if it is deemed unsuitable for publication.
A presenting author must be nominated for each paper and the presenting author must register and pay to attend the conference.
Presenting authors must adhere to any guidelines for presentation provided by the editorial committee or the conference organiser.

Payment of your paper

For the 15th Agronomy conference, a separate fee is payable for acceptance of your paper for review. This has been done to help reduce the cost of conference registration which will be the lowest for many years. Payment for paper review is made to i2k Communication Pty Ltd for The Regional Institute Ltd who maintain the Agronomy website including the author gateway and paper submission system.

How to pay

To pay for your review, log in to the website as normal and click the Pay for Papers button on the home page as follows.

In the popup payment screen, confirm that the correct papers are listed. In particular ensure that only your full paper is listed and not an abstract. Select the papers you wish to pay for and click submit.

Deferred payment

You must pay for your paper prior to inclusion in the book of abstracts and the conference proceedings. If you are unable to pay for your paper now (your institution may require confirmation of acceptance before approving funds) please use the online Feedback / Help form (above right) to notify the editor.

Refunds

If your paper is not accepted for publication, you will be notified by the editor and your payment will be refunded to your account by i2k Communication Pty Ltd for The Regional Institute.

If you wish to withdraw a paper which you have paid for, you have 30 days following payment to notify the editor and request a refund.
