Hi Kate:

I'm working on an article for OnTrack, and was wondering about format.  It has a table and figure (!).  Would a nicely-arranged PDF be best, or do you have some sort of OnTrack interface that you place article components in?

Also, I had a question about the volume and issues.  For normal publishing, the "issue" count restarts every time there's a new volume, usually every year.  This was also the case in old OnTracks, although they also kept a running count of overall number.  However, now we have a volume 16 and issue 31, I supposed because it's the 31st OnTrack overall.  Under the old convention, it would have been called something like "OnTrack 31, v16 No 2".  Since these article are occasionally cited, something in a more customary form might be advisable.

Cheers,
Rich

Dear all,
 
Apologies to all those who have already received notification of the publication of the latest issue of Ontrack.  After a brief discussion in Anchorage it appears that many of the community are unaware of, or have not yet discovered the Ontrack website. 
 
There are several important issues about the furture of the conference series, and the community as a whole that were discussesd at the Anchorage meeting, and are presented in the current issue of Ontrack, so I would like to remind all subscribers to this mailing list that the Ontrack website can be found at www.ontrackforum.org
 
The website has many functions, including:
 
Current issue of Ontrack
All back issues of Ontrack
Topic & technique based discussion boards
Job advertisements
Conference information
Laboratory profiles
A searchable database of all registered users to replace the old "FT directory"
 
If you wish to receive future notifications about Ontrack and read the current issue, please visit www.ontrackforum.org and register your details.  One significant benefit of the web based format is that articles, advertisements and other items can all be added at any time throughout the year, and many items (adverts etc.) can be added directly by all registered users. Please see the website for details of how to submit articles, or contact me if you would like any further information.
 
I hope everyone has a prosperous 2009,
 
Kate Dobson
(on behalf of the Ontrack editorial team)
