JCMT Newsletter No. 12 (Electronic Submission)
 Electronic Submission Update
Canadian and Netherlands Applications
HIA, Victoria and the University of Groningen respectively have the ability to accept electronic submissions. Please refer to local information about formats. Shortly after the PATT deadline all applications are FTP'ed to the JAC and combined with the UK
and International applications.
UK and International Applications
1 - if you STILL do not wish to play with the electronic system, you may
submit your hard copies through the usual route to PATT Secretariat
in Swindon, UK. However, we would like to discourage this form of
application. Usually you generate a postscript image anyway so it is
much simpler to email that in instead of printing/copying/posting.
2 - the system is setup to attempt to spot duplicate entries or revised
submissions. If you submit applications with identical PI,
collaborators and title they will be treated as the same
applications. The latest submission will over-write previous
versions.
3 - to obtain the most recent JCMT application template, send an email to
jcmtprop@jach.hawaii.edu with the phrase 'request templates' as the Subject.
Any subsequent text in the email will be ignored. All neccessary files will be
emailed back to you.
4 - complete the Latex template as instructed in the header section. There
are only minor modifications to this template from the one that you have
already been using. These changes are neccessary because, at some later
date, we intend to automatically parse the returned file to generate the
tables and files that the TAGs require.
5 - email the completed Latex template back to 'jcmtprop'. You are also
required to submit a Postscript version of your application. Please
append the postscript to the end of the Latex file since this makes
it simpler to associate one with the other.
6 - Each submission will be automatically numbered and acknowledged and
several people here will be informed of its arrival. We will process
it as soon as possible and will only contact you if we encounter
any difficulties with the printing or format.
7 - If you submit a revised version of the same application please follow
the guidleines for completing the 'Subject' line. Otherwise this
will lead to confused numbering.
