The IV SymTermes accepts no liability in regard to copyright infringement by any contributor. Authors are totally liable by the contents of their contribution including, but not restricted to, the observance to copyright laws.
There are three types of contributions:
- oral contributions associated to a full paper to be published in an special issue of Sociobiology. Upon acceptance in the journal, these contributions will be given a 20 min slot for a talk in the IV SymTermes.
- oral contributions not associated to a full paper. These contribuitions will only be given opportunity for oral presentation if there are any remaining time slots after allocating the oral presentations detailed above (item 1). In such case, a 10 min slot will be allocated per contribution.
- posters
All submitted contributions will be peer reviewed on the basis of relevance, originality, quality of presentation, and technical quality. The authors of all accepted contributions may be asked to moderate their papers following reviewers’ comments. At this point, the Scientific Committee may recommend a candidate Oral contribution to be presented as a Poster.
