However, as this committee has decided (and other committees may differ), it is definitely something to consider: if a paper is 20 pages long in 10pt font with proofs etc, it might be hard to compress it down to conference size, and one has to ask whether useful content can be retained. <br /><br />Properly formatted papers are always greatly appreciated: it makes life so much easier. So carry on doing what you are doing :)Suresh Venkatasubramanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898357513326041822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555947.post-1089656686364371662004-07-12T12:24:00.000-06:002004-07-12T12:24:00.000-06:00I'm glad that someone is keeping an eye on page li...I'm glad that someone is keeping an eye on page limits and submission guidelines. Occasionally I've spent a lot of energy carefully cutting and rewriting material to meet the limits, and wondered whether it was worth the effort. But would you reject a paper for transgressing these limits?Hughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767952337717767032noreply@blogger.com
