Re: Publication of FLOW ANALYSIS 2012 papers as Virtual Special Issue of ANALYTICA CHIMICA ACTA

Further to messages received from potential contributors to the planned special issue resulting from the above meeting, we understand that there are a number of people unable to submit their paper in time for the deadline. In order to ensure that all those who wish to have their paper considered for publication in this special issue have the option to do so, we are extending the submission deadline to an absolute final deadline of 31st December 2012. After this date, the submission slot will be closed.

We trust that this extension will be helpful to some of you, and would wish you all every success with the final stages in the preparation of your paper. The preparation and submission instructions are repeated hereunder for your information.

If you have already submitted your paper, it will be handled in the usual manner and published as soon as possible after acceptance in a regular issue of the journal.

The Flow Analysis XII Conference Gallery

We would like to thank all the participants for attending this Conference.

The hard copy of “Book of abstracts” will be given to the participants along with the rest conference material.

Participants are invited to submit their manuscript for possible publication in Analytica Chimica Acta – including a Virtual Special Issue devoted to Flow Analysis. All manuscripts must meet the standards of the journal: they will need to show clear analytical advances, not just “novelty” and they must match the scope of the journal.

A Virtual Special Issue implies that all papers will be handled and reviewed as regular submissions to the journal.  Accepted papers will be published individually in regular issues. A footnote will indicate at which conference the paper was presented, and this will be used for selection and linking to the Virtual Special issue.

The Virtual Special Issue will be prepared and subsequently placed on an individual Journal Special Issue site – with links to the papers on Science Direct. The Preface and photo’s – possibility for videos e.g. poster sessions –  can be added to the virtual special issue resulting in an expanded special issue which is not possible in the printed version.

You will shortly receive an invitation from ACA to submit your article via the journal’s online submission and reviewing system which is accessible at http://ees.elsevier.com/aca. All relevant information will be included in this invitation.

Invitation from Analytica Chimica Acta to submit your article

Publication of FLOW ANALYSIS 2012 papers as Virtual Special Issue of ANALYTICA CHIMICA ACTA

Further to detailed correspondence with the Organizing Committee of FLOW ANALYSIS 2012, I am delighted to have the opportunity to write to those who present a paper(s) or a poster(s) at this meeting in order to cordially invite you to contribute to an exciting new idea for a special issue of ANALYTICA CHIMICA ACTA. This is a entirely new concept which essentially rules out possible delays in publication for contributors to the special issue and hopefully – with the options for videos and additional (colour) photo’s which would not be included in a printed issue – will make this Conference special issue more complete and accessible than it has ever been.

• Accepted papers are published individually in regular issues as soon as they are accepted.
• Footnotes indicate at which Conference they were presented, and are the source for selection and linking to the virtual special issue
• Virtual special issue is prepared and placed on individual Journal special issue site – with links to papers on Science Direct.
• Preface and possible photo’s – with the added possibility of example videos e.g. from poster sessions, available via virtual special issue.  I.e. expanded special issue online

Participants are cordially invited to submit a full-length manuscript(s) for potential inclusion in a regular issue of the journal followed by a virtual special issue devoted to FLOW ANALYSIS 2012.
