Information and dates for the authors of invited papers and contributed papers

The organizing committee of Statistics Canada’s 2010 Methodology Symposium, entitled “Social Statistics: The Interplay among Censuses, Surveys and Administrative Data”, thanks you for presenting your paper at our conference from October 26 to 29, 2010, in Ottawa, Ontario.

Language

Statistics Canada is a bilingual organization (English and French) and all of the presentations and proceedings from the Symposium will be translated. Translation can be a lengthy process and therefore it is important that we receive information from you in a timely manner in order to translate properly the material. For this reason, we ask you to respect the requested submission dates.

Proceedings manuscript

We remind you that the final version of your manuscript is due by December 17, 2010 for its translation and inclusion in the Symposium's Proceedings. Including references and appendices, the manuscript must not exceed six pages in length (for contributed sessions) or eight pages in length (for invited sessions). More detail on the format of the manuscript, including a template, is discussed in Appendix A. We strongly encourage you to use it for your manuscript. If planning to use any other software, please check with us first.

Instructions for preparing your manuscript for the Proceedings

Manuscripts may be submitted in either French or English. Since the Proceedings will be published in both languages, your punctual submission is essential for Statistics Canada to have the time required to translate the manuscripts. Authors should submit their manuscripts as an attachment to an email message.

1. Your file should be in Microsoft Word. Please check with us before sending diagrams and graphs or any other materials in machine-readable form other than Microsoft Word
2. At most, the manuscript should be 6 pages long for contributed papers and 8 pages long for invited papers. You should follow the 2010 Symposium Style Guide for Manuscripts (see Appendix A).
3. Final manuscripts are due by December 17th, 2010. They should be submitted by e-mail to Symposium2010@statcan.gc.ca.
