Guidelines

 

The IMCC Publication & Speakers Committee (IMCC PSC) has been set up and is responsible for maintaining the internal documentation.

Please send your papers/notes/presentations to the IMCC PSC for review.

The following review procedure applies:

Papers

There are 5 types of publications, each with specific rules

  • Collaboration-wide papers (journal papers such as reviews summarizing broad areas of the accelerator, technologies, detector or physics at the muon collider)
    • The -IMCC author list (listed alphabetically) should be used
    • There will be a 2-week review from the PSC.
    • Single/multiple author papers (journal papers based on a specific study, for example a paper summarizing the physics sensitivities from a physics analysis)
      • The author list will be determined by the authors, but is subject to review by the PSC.
      • The IMCC study should be acknowledged.
      • There will be a 2-week review from the PSC.
         
    • Notes (which are not submitted to a journal but are publicly available)
      • They appear under the name(s) of the author(s).
      • There will be a 2-week review from the PSC.
         
    • Conference proceedings
      • They appear under the name of the presenter and will include the words “endorsed by the IMCC” or “on behalf of IMCC”.
      • There will be a 1-week review from the PSC.
    • Community papers (they express the opinion and support of the community. For instance, papers submitted to the ESPPU or to the Snowmass process may fall under this category)
      • The PSC will manage the process to call for authorship and support to the paper.

    In addition, there will be 2 other categories, which will not be reviewed by the PSC:

    •  Internal notes (such notes are intended solely for internal use. These notes will provide reference material for the collaboration, for example, to document technical details of a study).
       
    • Theses (PhD and Master) that have been submitted and defended at the home university / institute of the student.
