Call For Papers
2014 International Radon Symposium
September 28 - October 1, 2014
Charleston, South Carolina
The AARST 2014 International Radon Symposium welcomes the participation of members of the scientific and medical community, radon testers, diagnosticians, mitigators, educators, public policy leaders and business leaders as well as consumers, both nationally and internationally.
Abstracts: Your abstract should convey in 150 words or less, the essence of the intended presentation clearly indicating the contribution it will make. Abstracts will be screened by the AARST Editorial Board. Authors who are not experienced in writing abstracts should look at examples of abstracts from previous symposiums and duplicate their format. These can be found on the AARST.org website. Abstracts which do not follow this accepted format will not be accepted.
Original research, on radon science, risk communication, public policy and business-related papers, are especially encouraged (but not limited to) the following areas with an emphasis on practical application:
- Environmental Economic Motivators – EPA Administrator Ruckelshaus’s Theorem
- Radon Risk Communication
- Radon Risk Assessment
- Health Risk Assessment
- Radon Risk Reduction in Low Income Communities
- Radon Prevention in Existing and New Construction
- Effective Worker Safety Programs for Mitigators/Measurement Professionals
- Cost-Effectiveness of Radon Policy and Program Options
- Health Physicists papers on Radon and Radioactivity
How to Submit Abstracts: Please submit your abstract via email using WORD (.doc or docx) format to: JBurkhart@aarst.org by April 4, 2014. Do not use a PDF format, as this cannot be edited.
Acceptance of Abstracts: The Abstract Chair will notify authors of acceptance or rejection of their abstract by May 16, 2014. Acceptance of an abstract is a necessary condition for giving a paper or a poster session in the symposium. Along with an abstract, each author should submit a request for time: 20 or 40 minutes. The Program Chair will determine the amount of time allotted based on the number of presenters and topics being presented. Ideally, each presentation will allow time for a brief question and answer period at the end of the presentation. Speakers must register for the Symposium and pay a down payment on registration fees by August 8, 2014.
Authors of accepted abstracts who also wish to have a full paper, based on their abstract, published in the 2014 AARST Symposium Proceedings must submit a completed full paper by July 18, 2014 and commit to presenting to the Symposium no later than August 6, 2015. Presenters who do not commit to attending and presenting at the Symposium by August 8th will not be considered for publication or listing in the program. The refereeing of these papers is separate from, and independent of, the reviewing of the abstracts since the Proceedings is a refereed publication. Authors will receive grammar and syntax rules for papers along with their abstract acceptance by email. Authors are solely responsible for obtaining all necessary permissions for published material. Authors will be notified if their paper has been accepted for publication by August 16, 2014. For Abstract Submittal Information Contact: JBurkhart@aarst.org or nicole@aarst.org
