To Improve your Chance of Success, Consider the Following Criteria:

• Ensure that your paper fits the thematic tracks and that it’s relevant for experts and non-experts.
• Submit original content. Describe breakthrough technology, new concepts, novel applications of established concepts or improvements to existing theories (with new supporting data).
• Ensure that the work is well developed. If you can show concrete results that are well supported by data, your paper is more likely to be accepted.
• Clearly show how significant your work is. Your research must be relevant for the world, region or for other researchers and/or professionals working in Oil Spill & Maritime Industry.
• Prepare your outline with care, organise your material well, write clearly in plain english, prepare your graphics professionally, and make sure your information is accurate, up to date, and referenced.
