Please submit the paper to the ISBS 2005 Secretariat
(isbs2005_paper@cssb2001.net). The deadline of paper
submission is April 1, 2005. Detailed guidelines
for the preparation of paper are as follows. All abstracts
are subject to review by the Scientific Committee.
Scientific papers are recommended for oral sessions,
poster sessions or symposia. There are two types of
papers accepted for review: 1) full length manuscripts
of up to 4 pages, including a 10 line abstract. 2) "Work
in progress" which are to be submitted as a one
page abstracts.
Instruction for Full Paper
An abstract is incorporated in the four-page paper
to be printed in the scientific proceedings. There is
no requirement to submit an abstract separately. Scientific
papers are required for ORAL AND POSTER presentations.
The paper must be written in English. The paper should
be four A4 pages in length, single spaced, in Ariel
size 11 font with normal character spacing. Set your
page to A4 portrait (30 cm high by 21 cm wide).
The printing area should be 25 cm by 16 cm. Set
the left and right margins at 2.5cm and the top and
bottom margins at 2.5 cm. The printing (other than formulas
and tables) should be right and left justified.
Do NOT indent the first line of paragraphs or sections.
Use one or two lines to write the TITLE in BOLD CAPITAL
LETTERS. Skip one line and type the author(s) first
name and surname in bold lower case. On the next line
give the author(s) affiliation(s), city, state, and
country in bold lower case. The title, authors and
affiliations should be centered. Skip another line.
Right and left justify all the following text (except
formulas and tables). Write an abstract of no more than
10 lines indented 1cm from both the right and left margins
in Ariel size 10 font. Do NOT use a heading for the
abstract and write the abstract as an unbroken single
paragraph. Skip one line and list up to six keywords
(unbolded) describing your paper alongside the sub-heading
KEYWORDS: in BOLD CAPITAL LETTERS.
Skip another line and return to full width and Ariel
size 11 font. Your paper should have the following structure:
An INTRODUCTION indicating the significance and
purpose of the research and citing the primary literature
sources. A description of the METHODS of data
collection, data analysis, and research design. A RESULTS
AND DISCUSSION. These sections may be combined if
desired in the interests of saving space. A CONCLUSION
should include reference to implications and applications
of the work. Because a major goal of the ISBS is to
bridge the gap between sports biomechanics and practitioners
in teaching, coaching, training, and rehabilitation
of participants in sports. Your conclusion should highlight
the benefits of the study for practitioners. If your
study is an advancement of methods of analysis or the
development of new equipment then it should be indicated
clearly how this could lead to assisting practitioners.
An alphabetical list of REFERENCES should conform
to the guidelines of the Journal of Applied Biomechanics
(J.A.B.). Skip a line after each of the above major
sections. Each of the major headings listed above should
be left justified (NOT indented or centered), in BOLD
CAPITALS, and followed by a colon. The text then
continues on the same line. Lower level headings
should follow the same format and should be in lower
case (NOT capitals). Do NOT skip lines between paragraphs
or before lower level headings. Formulas, figures, and
tables should be formatted in the style adopted by the
Journal of Applied Biomechanics (J.A.B.). See the example
below.
Instruction for Work in
Progress
The format and style of Work in Progress are as same as the full-length manuscripts.
However, 10 line abstract is not required and the length
of paper should be up to one page.

Review Process
Each paper will be reviewed by at least two members of the scientific committee.
Reviewers will be assessing its suitability for publication
in the proceedings. The scientific committee comprises
the current members of the board of directors of the ISBS
and the keynote speakers for ISBS2005. On the basis of
the review your paper will be categorised as one of the
following:
Reject: Not suitable for publication in
the Proceedings.
Reject and resubmit: The paper is rejected
unless the authors can make satisfactory responses to
the reviewers' concerns. The paper will then be accepted
only if all the concerns are addressed to the satisfaction
of the reviewers.

must respond to the reviewers' concerns to the satisfaction
of the editor of the proceedings.

minor editing required at the discretion of the editor
of the proceedings.
Submission of Papers
Please download and complete the paper submission form, and then attach it
along with your paper to an email to us.
To expedite the review process your paper should be
submitted as an e-mail attachment in rich text format
(.rtf) or Adobe PDF (*.pdf) to: isbs2005_paper@cssb2001.net
. Figures should be incorporated into the document.
