Publications

HELAS II participants, especially invited speakers, are expected to submit manuscripts in order to guarantee a permanent record of the conference lectures and posters. The proceedings of Helioseismology, Asteroseismology and MHD Connections will be published in the open access Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS), published by IOP Publishing. All papers will be free to read and download immediately upon publication. Papers published in JPCS will be hosted in IOP Publishing's electronic journals system and will be fully citable. Preparing your paper: JPCS uses author-supplied PDFs for all online and print publication. Authors are asked to prepare their papers using LaTeX2e according to the journal guidelines. Papers should preferably be no more than 8 page long, except for the invited review talks from the Monday morning and Wednesday morning sessions and the three concluding talks (no page limit). Authors should supply their PDF papers directly to Laurent Gizon (helas2[at]mps.mpg.de) by 15 October 2007. After review by the HELAS II SOC, the accepted papers will be supplied to JPCS. Please do not send your papers directly to JPCS. Instructions on preparing your paper, together with LaTeX2e templates, can be downloaded from the journal web site. Please do not add any page numbers, headers or footers to your article as these will be added during the publication process. JPCS encourages authors to submit color figures and multimedia files to enhance the online versions of published research articles. Multimedia guidelines are included with the Word and LaTeX2e templates. The Assignment of Copyright Form is included in the LaTeX2e templates. You must send it electronically to Laurent Gizon (helas2[at]mps.mpg.de) as a PDF by scanning the printed and signed form. Technical enquiries concerning preparing papers for JPCS should be directed to Jacky Mucklow (jacky.mucklow[at]iop.org).

Authors will also have the possibility of submitting original research articles for publication in a double Topical Issue of the journal Solar Physics. Such papers will go through the normal peer-review process of Solar Physics. The submission date is 5 October 2007 (see submission instructions). Please be aware that papers will be fully refereed to the usual standard of the journal, so preliminary work, work of little relevance to helio- or asteroseismology, or work previously published elsewhere is not suitable. Participants in HELAS II (or SOHO 19/GONG 2007) are under no obligation to submit a paper. Please send a statement of intention with a title, abstract, and potential referees by 7 September 2007 to John Leibacher (john.Leibacher[at]gmail.com) and Laurent Gizon (gizon[at]mps.mpg.de). A statement of intention should only be submitted if you are very seriously committed to delivering a manuscript, as in order to expedite the process the Solar Physics editors will endeavour to line up referees prior to manuscript submission. The Solar Physics editors for this Topical Issue will be John Leibacher and Lidia van Driel-Gesztelyi joined by guest editors Laurent Gizon and Paul Cally.
