Guidelines for abstract preparation and submission
(Conference Proceedings Guide)
Please prepare your conference abstract according to the guidelines outlined below. The abstracts will be published electronically in the 13th volume of the journal “Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Abstract Series”. Only abstracts prepared according to the specified template will be accepted.
Size and Length
The document must be A4 size (210 x 297 mm). An abstract should not exceed 2 pages in length, including the images/tables (for plenary speakers, a maximum of 4 pages is allowed). The minimum required length is 2000 characters, excluding the title, authors, and their affiliations.
Language and Structure
The manuscript must be written in English. The structure should include: title, authors' names, authors' affiliations, text, references, captions for figures and tables, and finally, figures(s)/table(s) on a separate page.
Authors
List all authors' names in the following format: John Smith → Smith, J. Include their affiliation (this can be omitted for retired authors), the address of their workplace (or residence), and the contact author's email address. The presenting author’s name should be underlined.
Text
Submit the text in MS Word format (doc or docx). Use Times New Roman font. References to figures and tables within the text should be made (e.g., Table 2; Figure 1). Bibliography references should follow the author(s)' surname(s) and year of publication format. For works by a single author, e.g., Koch (1966) or (Koch, 1966); for works by two authors, e.g., Schafarzik & Vendl (1929) or (Schafarzik & Vendl, 1929); for works by multiple authors, e.g., Tokody et al. (1958) or (Tokody et al., 1958).
References
If the text includes references to the bibliography, a references section must also be compiled at the end of the abstract. Unpublished manuscripts should be not cited. Cite the literature as follows:
For journal articles: AUTHOR(S) (year): Journal name, volume (issue, if relevant) number, page range. Example: BOTKA, D., MÉSZÁROS, L. (2015): Bulletin of the Hungarian Geological Society, 145(1), 73–84.
For books: AUTHOR(S) (year): Title. Place of publication: publisher. Example: SZAKÁLL, S., FEHÉR, B., TÓTH, L. (2016): Minerals of Hungary. Szeged: GeoLitera.
For book chapters: AUTHOR(S) (year): In: EDITOR(S): Book title. Place of publication: publisher, page range. Example: VIGH, T. (2013): In: PÁL-MOLNÁR, E., BIRÓ, L. (eds.): Solid raw materials in Hungary. Szeged: GeoLitera, pp. 45–64.
Electronic sources should include the URL and the date of the last access.
Figures/Tables
Abstracts may include both color and black-and-white figures/tables. The width should be either one column (8 cm) or two columns (17 cm). Insert figures/tables at the end of the abstract on a new page and number them sequentially. Ensure figures have a resolution of at least 300 dpi. The placement of figures/tables within the text will be determined during editing, subject to the author's review before finalization.
