Abstract Guidelines
Ideas should be submitted in the form of a 200-400 word abstract (summary) highlighting the major points of your 8-10 page paper. Papers may not be commercial in nature. It should be written so that it makes sense standing on its own and should cover the work done, recommendations made, conclusions drawn as a result of the project, case or study.
Abstracts must be submitted using this submission site by May 12, 2017. Chapter sponsored papers must be submitted by the deadline.
Peer Review Process
Abstracts are considered by a committee of explosives industry professionals using a blind review process. The committee will determine the paper’s relevance and substance based on the following criteria:
- Purpose and reason for work
- Quality and quantity of data
- Experimental procedures
- Application to industry
- Conclusions based on data presented
Selection and Acceptance
Abstracts will be used only for tentative selection. Final selection and acceptance is based on the completed paper submitted on time.
Author Instructions
Detailed instructions regarding paper format and presentation requirements will be posted on the submission site after you receive the notification of abstract acceptance.
Paper Presentation
The program committee will assign each paper to a session upon acceptance of the completed paper. The paper will be assigned to a technical session or Blasters Forum Poster Session.
