Introduction

The next National Radio Science Meeting (NRSM) will be held on January 4-6, 2017 in Boulder, CO.  This meeting is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. Authors will have their choice of submitting either one-page abstracts or two-page summaries.

 

This open scientific meeting is sponsored by the U.S. National Committee (USNC) of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). The USNC-URSI is appointed by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, and represents U.S. radio scientists in URSI. Through technical co-sponsorship of the meeting by the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, the authors of summaries that have been presented at the meeting will have the option of archiving their summaries by having them submitted to IEEE Xplore. Papers must be presented for their corresponding summaries to be archived on IEEE Xplore. At least one author is required to register for each presented abstract or summary. Abstracts and summaries on any topic in the interest area of a Commission are welcome. Contact the Commission Chair or visit the Commission website for further information about the ten Commissions.

Submission Topics

  1. In addition to submitting a one-page abstract or two-page summary, a student must write as first author a full paper of up to 25 pages in length. The full paper must be submitted on the abstract/summary submission web site no later than 11:59 pm PDT on TBA. To submit the paper, on the first page of abstract submissions, check the box "This paper is to be submitted to the Student Paper Competition". Then upload the full paper as well as the abstract on the following web page.
  2. The topic of the paper must be related to the field of one of URSI's 10 Commissions. Students must indicate to which URSI Commission or Commissions (maximum of two) the topic of their paper is most relevant.
  3. The paper must be in English and in the single-column manuscript format. The length of the paper must not exceed 25 double-spaced pages, including figures. The text and caption font must be 12-point Times Roman. In using the Radio Science manuscript format, line numbers are not required, nor is it essential to start each Section on a new page.
  4. University students in normal pursuit of an M.S. or Ph.D. degree are eligible to enter a paper in the competition. The student must be enrolled in a U.S. college or university as of TBA.
  5. Each student may submit only one paper to the Student Paper Competition. In addition, the paper must be the unaided work of only one graduate student. The usual guidance provided to a graduate student by a research advisor and/or supervising professor is consistent with this rule, as is the co-authorship of the paper by the advisor or professor. In case of co-authorship, a letter from each advisor stating his/her level of contribution explicitly must accompany the paper upon submission. This letter should be appended as the last page of the PDF file of the paper.
  6. A paper which is submitted to a journal before TBA, is ineligible. However, a student is encouraged to submit his/her paper to a journal after this date.
  7. The three finalists in the USNC-URSI Student Paper Competition are requested to present their papers in both the regular session and the Plenary Session since the finalists are generally selected after the program for the NRSM has been finalized.
