Abstract registration deadline | September 30, 2017 |
Submission deadline | September 30, 2017 |
We now have the green light from Springer to prepare our edited book:
Geo-Trekking in Ethiopia’s Tropical Mountains
The Dogu’a Tembien District
As editor I invite you now to prepare your chapter.
Submission Guidelines
Your chapter must be molded in the format of the Springer GeoGuides (you received one chapter as an example). Take the following into account:
- The book addresses a broad public of interested people (with various backgrounds)
- Chapter Title; Author names with short affiliation (only institution and country)
- Start your chapter with a few lines of introduction, and then structure it thematically (no “classic” paper style), rather like a short review paper
- Maximum 2200 words, 1-3 Figures or Tables, 5-7 nice Photographs (taken in Dogu’a Tembien or immediate surroundings)
- Do only use descriptive statistics and graphs (if any) – it is all about the contents
- No reference citations in the text, but a short list of references per chapter will appear at the end of the text. This includes, but is not limited to, references to your own most relevant papers
- Place (and person) names: use easily readable phonetic transliterations of Tigrigna, such as: Dogu’a Tembien, Hagere Selam, Tukhul, Ala’esa, Enda Maryam, Ras Alula, …
- Lines should be numbered, double spacing
- Use all style elements as in the attached example
You are invited to submit the chapter before 30 September.
Publication
The Geo-Trekking guide will be published as a Springer GeoGuide
