On behalf of the Soil Science Australia and the New Zealand Society of Soil Science Joint Conference Committee, we are excited by the number of submissions that have already been submitted. Nevertheless, due to high demand for extension requests, we are pleased to extend the deadline for abstracts until 5 April, 2021

We hope this will give those who require it, additional time to finalise their abstracts for this year’s Conference in Cairns.

If you have any queries or require assistance, please feel free to contact the Conference Organiser at Conf2021@soilscienceaustralia.org.au.

We look forward to receiving your abstract and hope that the conference gives you an opportunity to strengthen your existing networks and that you leave with great memories, fresh ideas, and new friendships.

Professor John McLean Bennett
Chair of Conference Committee

ABSTRACT SUBMISSION FORMAT & LAYOUT GUIDELINES

All authors are required to submit a short or extended abstract in the first instance. Abstracts must be submitted electronically via the abstract submission portal by 14 June 2020. Once an abstract has been accepted, authors are invited to submit a full paper. Full papers will be peer reviewed as per publication process by at least 2 reviewers.

Short Abstracts / Extended Abstracts – Due 7 Feb 2021
Authors are welcome to submit either a short abstract or an extended abstract.

Short abstracts must not exceed a 300-word limit. The word limit relates only to the text of the abstract and does not include title, authors and institutions. No equations or images should be included in a short abstract. Short abstracts should be written in Arial, size 11 font and be justified with single line spacing. The abstract author and title details are to be entered in the online form for automatic inclusion in the abstract upon submission.

Extended abstracts must use the template provided and should not exceed 2 pages. The extended abstract should contain references, comparisons to related works and other details expected in a scientific paper but not in an abstract.

Full Papers (optional) – Due 15 April 2021
Once an abstract is accepted, authors are invited to submit a full paper for peer review. Download the Full Paper Template provided and submit the Full Paper via the online abstract portal or email to lea@on-cue.co.nz .
