Information Analysis and Repackaging

Notes details, especially those related to finances (the budget) and other detailed lists, are put into
appendices.

The complete text of a work plan is a single logical argument, with each unit linking to
the one before and after it. The appendices provide details that support the argument,
but they are not included in the text so that they will not clutter up the argument.

Conclusion

A work plan is a necessary tool for planning, executing, implementation and monitoring any project,
or any ordered set of activities, a project or a programme. It is composed of a logical argument forming
the text, and an accompanying set of appendices that provide details to support the logical argument.
This guidelines document has provided some details about the form and content of a work plan,
and can be read in conjunction with related guidelines on report writing and proposal writing.
Abstracts must be produced in a commonly-used word processing program like Microsoft Word or
Word Perfect and must be submitted with both a hard (printed) copy and a 3.5" floppy diskette.
Alternatively, a printed copy may be submitted by mail or fax and the electronic version submitted
by E-mail. However, if papers are submitted by E-mail, they should be sent as attached files with a
description in the body of the message as to what word processing package has been used to create
them. The printed copy of the abstract will be used for review and to ensure correct layout. A copy
may also be sent to your panel chair.

Use left and right margins of .8 inch (2 cm).
Use 11 point type in Times Roman or a similar font for the headings and 12 point type for the text of
the abstract.
The style should conform to the example provided below: (1) First author’s last name in bold face
capital letters, followed by initials, plus co-authors’ names in order; (2) skip a line and enter the title
of the paper/presentation in bold face capital letters; (3) skip a line and enter the affiliation(s),
addresses and e-mail addresses; (4) skip a line and enter the body of the abstract.
At the very end of the abstract, enter in parentheses and bold face type the name, if known to you,
of the co-host organization/group, Special Integration Group, or panel to which your paper or
presentation has been assigned (or the “poster session”).
Do not include any keywords or references with this abstract; these should be included only with
the full paper submission.
Due to space constraints, abstracts must be limited to not more than 300 words. Abstracts which
exceed this limit, or which do not conform to the guidelines, will be returned to the presenter for
editing.

Summary
Two lines below the author name and affiliation, start a brief summary as the first paragraph of the
paper. You may use your program abstract or a suitable alternative. At the end of the summary, skip
a line and then type “Keywords” (underlined) followed by up to five (5) words that describe the
focus and contribution of the paper. The summary should follow the title, author’s name, and mailing
address on the first page. Skip two lines and then begin the body of the paper (after an Introduction
heading, if needed) immediately after the summary.
