英语期刊发表格式English Journal Publishing Format。
In the academic world, publishing in English journals is an important way for scholars to disseminate their research findings and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in their respective fields. However, for non-native English speakers, understanding the format and requirements for publishing in English journals can be a daunting task. In this document, we will discuss the key elements of the English journal publishing format and provide guidance for authors seeking to publish their work in English-language journals.Title and Abstract。
The title of the research paper should be concise, informative, and accurately reflect the content of the paper. The abstract, typically limited to 250 words, should provide a brief summary of the research objectives, methods, results, and conclusions. It is important to ensure that the abstract is written in clear and concise language, as it serves as a preview of the paper for potential readers.Keywords。

How does your reading proceed? Clearly, you try to comprehend, in the sense of identifying meanings for individual words and working out relationships between them, drawing on your implicit knowledge of English grammar.(41)________________. You begin to infer a context for the text, for instance, by making decisions about what kind of speech event is evolved. Who is making the utterance, to whom, when and where?The ways of reading indicated here are without doubt kinds of comprehension but they show comprehension to consist not just of passive assimilation but of active engagement in inference and problem-solving. You infer information you feel the writer has invited you to grasp by presenting you with specific evidence and clues. (42) ________________ Conceived in this way, comprehension will not follow exactly the same track for each reader. What is in question is not the retrieval of an absolute, fixed or ―true‖ meaning that can be read off and checked for accuracy, or some timeless relationship of the text to the world. (43) _____________Such background material inevitably reflects who we are. (44) _____________. This does not, however, make interpretation merely relative or even pointless. Precisely because readers from different historical periods, places and social experiences produce different but overlapping readings of the same words on the page---including for texts that engage with fundamental human concerns--- debates about texts can play an important role in social discussion of belief and values.How we read a given text also depends to some extent on our particular interest in reading it. (45) _____________. Such dimensions of reading suggest---as others introduced later in the book will also do--that we bring an implicit (often unacknowledged) agenda to any act of reading. It does not then necessarily follow that one kind of reading is fuller, more advanced or more worthwhile than another. Ideally, different minds of reading inform each other, and act as useful reference points for and counterbalances to one another. Together, they make up the reading component of your overall literacy, or relationship to your surrounding textual environment.[A] Are we studying that text and trying to respond in a way that fulfills the requirement of a given course? Reading it simply for pleasure? Skimming it for information? Ways of reading on a train or in bed are likely to differ considerably from reading in a seminar room.[B] Factors such as the place and period in which we are reading, our gender ethnicity, age and social class will encourage us towards certain interpretations but at the same time obscure or even close off others.[C] If you are unfamiliar with words or idioms, you guess at their meaning, using clues presented in the context. On the assumption that they will become relevant later, you make a mental note of discourse entities as well as possible links between them.[D]In effect, you try to reconstruct the likely meanings or effects that any given sentence, image or reference might have had: These might be the ones the author intended.[E] You make further inferences, for instance, about how the text may be significant to you, or about its validity—inferences that form the basis of a personal response for which the author will inevitably be far less responsible.[F] In plays, novels and narrative poems, characters speak as constructs created by the author, not necessarily as m outhpieces for the author’s own thoughts.[G]Rather, we ascribe meanings to texts on the basis of interaction between what we might call textual and contextual material: between kinds of organizations or patterning we perceive in a text’s formal structur es (so especially its language structures) and various kinds of background, social knowledge, belief and attitude that we bring to the text.[A] Some archaeological sites have always been easily observable—for example, the Parthenon in Athens, Greece; the pyramids of Giza in Egypt; and the megaliths of Stonehenge in southern England. But these sites are exceptions to the norm .Most archaeological sites have been located by means of careful searching, while many others have been discovered by accident. Olduvai Gorge, fell into its deep valley in 1911.Thousands of Aztec artifacts came to light during the digging of the Mexico City subway in the 1970s.[B] In another case, American archaeologists Rene million and George Cowgill spent years systematically mapping the entire city of Teotihuacan in the valley of Mexico near what is now Mexico City .at its peak around AD 600, this city was one of the largest human settlements in the word. The researchers mapped not only the city’s vast and ornate ceremo nial areas, but also hundreds of simpler apartment complexes where common people lived.[C] How do archaeologists know where to find what they are looking for when there is nothing visible on the surface of the ground? Typically, they survey and sample (make test excavations on) large areas of terrain to determine where excavation will yield useful information. Surveys and test samples have also become important for understanding the larger landscapes that contain archaeological sites.[D] Surveys can cover a single large settlement or entire landscapes. In one case, many researchers working around the ancient Maya city of Copán, Honduras, have located hundreds of small rural village and individual dwellings by using aerial photographs and by making surveys on foot. The resulting settlement maps show how the distribution and density of the rural population around the city changed dramatically between AD500 and 850, when Copán collapsed.[E] To find their sites, archaeologists today rely heavily on systematic survey methods and a variety of high-technology tools and techniques. Airborne technologies, such as different types of radar and photographic equipment carried by airplanes or spacecraft, allow archaeologists to learn about what lies beneath the ground without digging. Aerial surveys locate general areas of interest or larger buried features, such as ancient buildings or fields.[F] Most archaeological sites, however, are discovered by archaeologists who have set out to look for them. Such searches can take years. British archaeologist Howard Carter knew that the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamen existed from information found in other sites. Carter sifted through rubble in the Valley of the King for seven years before he located the tomb in 1922. In the late 1800s British archaeologist Sir Arthur Eyan combed antique dealers’ stores in Athens, Greece. He was searching for thing engraved seals attributed to the ancient Mycenaean culture that dominated Greece from the 1400s to 1200s BC. Evas’s inter pretations of those engravings eventually led them to find the Minoan palace at Knossos on the island of Crete, in 1900.[G] Ground surveys allow archaeologists to pinpoint the places where digs will be successful. Most ground surveys involve a lot of walking, looking for surface clues such as small fragments of pottery. They often include a certain amounts of digging to test for buried materials at selected points across a landscape. Archaeologists also may locate buried remains by using such technologies as ground radar, magnetic-field recording, and metal detector. Archaeologists commonly use computers to map sites and the landscapes around sites. Two and three-dimensional maps are helpful tools in planning excavations, illustrating how sites look, and presenting the results of archaeological research.41 --- A --- 42. --- E ---43 --- 44 --- 45The social sciences are flourishing.As of 2005,there were almost half a million professional social scientists from all fields in the world, working both inside and outside academia. According to the World Social Science Report 2010,the number of social-science students worldwide has swollen by about 11% every year since 2000.Yet this enormous resource in not contributing enough to today’s globa l challenges including climate change, security,sustainable development and health.(41)______Humanity has the necessary agro-technological tools to eradicate hunger , from genetically engineered crops to arificial fertilizers . Here , too, the problems are social: the organization and distribution of food, wealth and prosperity.(42)____This is a shame—the community should be grasping the opportunity to raise its influence in the real world. To paraphrase the great social scientist Joseph Schumpeter:there is no radical innovation without creative destruction .Today ,the social sciences are largely focused on disciplinary problems and internal scholarly debates,rather than on topics with external impact.Analyses reveal that the number of papers including th e keywords ―environmental changed‖ or ―climate change‖ have increased rapidly since 2004,(43)____When social scientists do tackle practical issues ,their scope is often local:Belgium is interested mainly in the effects of poverty on Belgium for example .A nd whether the community’s work contributes much to an overall accumulation of knowledge is doubtful.The problem is not necessarily the amount of available funding (44)____this is an adequate amount so long as it is aimed in the right direction. Social sc ientists who complain about a lack of funding should not expect more in today’s economic climate.The trick is to direct these funds better.The European Union Framework funding programs have long had a category specifically targeted at social scientists.This year,it was proposed that system be changed:Horizon 2020,a new program to be enacted in 2014,would not have such a category ,This has resulted in protests from social scientists.But the intention is not to neglect social science ; rather ,the complete opposite.(45)____That should create more collaborative endeavors and help to develop projects aimed directly at solving global problems.[A] It could be that we are evolving two communities of social scientists:one that is discipline-oriented and publishing in highly specialized journals,and one that is problem-oriented and publishing elsewhere,such as policy briefs.[B] However,the numbers are still small:in 2010,about 1,600 of the 100,000 social-sciences papers published globally included one of these Keywords.[C] the idea is to force social to integrate their work with other categories, including health and demographic change food security, marine research and the bio-economy, clear, efficient energy; and inclusive, innovative and secure societies.[D] the solution is to change the mindset of the academic community, and what it considers to be its main goal. Global challenges and social innovation ought to receive much more attention from scientists, especially the young ones.[E] These issues all have root causes in human behavior . all require behavioral change and social innovations , as well as technological development . Stemming climate change , for example , is as much about changing consumption patterns and promoting tax acceptance as it is about developing clean energy.[F] Despite these factors , many social scientists seem reluctant to tackle such problems . And in Europe , some are up in arms over a proposal to drop a specific funding category for social-science research and to integrate it within cross-cutting topics of sustainable development .[G] During the late 1990s , national spending on social sciences and the humanities as a percentage of all research and development funds-including government, higher education, non-profit and corporate -varied from around 4% to 25%; inThink of those fleeting moments when you look out of an aeroplane window and realise that you are flying, higher than a bird. Now think of your laptop, thinner than a brown-paper envelope, or your cellphone in the palm of your hand. Take a moment or two to wonder at those marvels. You are the lucky inheritor of a dream come true.The second half of the 20th century saw a collection of geniuses, warriors, entrepreneurs and visionaries labour to create a fabulous machine that could function as a typewriter and printing press, studio and theatre, paintbrush and gallery, piano and radio, the mail as well as the mail carrier. (41)The networked computer is an amazing device, the first media machine that serves as the mode of production, means of distribution, site of reception, and place of praise and critique. The computer is the 21st century's culture machine.But for all the reasons there are to celebrate the computer, we must also tread with caution. (42)I call it a secret war for two reasons. First, most people do not realise that there are strong commercial agendas at work to keep them in passive consumption mode. Second, the majority of people who use networked computers to upload are not even aware of the significance of what they are doing.All animals download, but only a few upload. Beavers build dams and birds make nests. Yet for the most part, the animal kingdom moves through the world downloading. Humans are unique in their capacity to not only make tools but then turn around and use them to create superfluous material goods - paintings, sculpture and architecture - and superfluous experiences - music, literature, religion and philosophy. (43)For all the possibilities of our new culture machines, most people are still stuck in download mode. Even after the advent of widespread social media, a pyramid of production remains, with a small number of people uploading material, a slightly larger group commenting on or modifying that content, and a huge percentage remaining content to just consume.(44)Television is a one-way tap flowing into our homes. The hardest task that television asks of anyone is to turn the power off after he has turned it on.(45)What counts as meaningful uploading? My definition revolves around the concept of "stickiness" - creations and experiences to which others adhere.[A] Of course, it is precisely these superfluous things that define human culture and ultimately what it is to be human. Downloading and consuming culture requires great skills, but failing to move beyond downloading is to strip oneself of a defining constituent of humanity.[B] Applications like , which allow users to combine pictures, words and other media in creative ways and then share them, have the potential to add stickiness by amusing, entertaining and enlightening others.[C] Not only did they develop such a device but by the turn of the millennium they had also managed to embed it in a worldwide system accessed by billions of people every day.[D] This is because the networked computer has sparked a secret war between downloading and uploading - between passive consumption and active creation - whose outcome will shape our collective future in ways we can only begin to imagine.[E] The challenge the computer mounts to television thus bears little similarity to one format being replaced by another in the manner of record players being replaced by CD players.[F] One reason for the persistence of this pyramid of production is that for the past half-century, much of the world's media culture has been defined by a single medium - television - and television is defined by downloading.[G]The networked computer offers the first chance in 50 years to reverse the flow, to encourage thoughtful downloading[A] No disciplines have seized on professionalism with as much enthusiasm the humanities. You can, Mr. Menand points out, became a lawyer in three years and a medical doctor in four. But the regular time it takes to get a doctoral degree in the humanities is nine years. Not surprisingly, up to half of all doctoral students in English drop out before getting their degrees.[B] His concern is mainly with the humanities: Literature, languages, philosophy and so on. These are disciplines that are going out of sytle:22% of American college graduates now major in business compared with only 2% in history and 4% in English. However, many leading American universities want their undergraduates to have a grounding in the basic canon of ideas that every educated person should posses. But most find it difficult to agree on what a ―general education‖ should look like. At Harvard, Mr. Menand notes, ―the great books are read because they have been read‖, they form a sort of social glue.[C] Equally unsurprisingly, only about half end up with professorships for which they entered graduate school. There are simply too few posts. This is partly because universities continue to produce ever more PhDs. But fewer students want to study humanities subjects: English department awarded more bachelor’s degrees in 1970-71 than they did 20 years later. Fewer students requires fewer teachers. So, at the end of a decade of theses-writing, many humanities students leave the profession to du something for which they have not been trained.[D] One reason why it is hard to design and teach courses is that they can cut across the insistence by top American universities that liberal-arts educations and professional education should be kept separate, taught in different schools. Many students experience both varieties Although more than half of Harvard undergraduates end up in law, medicine or business, future doctors and lawyers must study a non-specialist liberal-art degree before embarking on a professional qualification.[E] Besides professionalizing the professions by this separation top American universities have professionalized the professor. The growth on public money for academic research has speeded the process: federal research grants rose fourfold between 1960 and 1990, but faculty teaching hours fell by half as research took its toll. Professionalism has turned the acquisition of a doctoral degree into a prerequisite for a successful academic career: as late as 1969 a third of American professors did not possess one. But the key idea behind professionalization, argues Mr. Menand, is that ―the knowledge and skills needed for a particular specialization are transmissible but not transferab le.‖ So disciplines acquire a monopoly not just over the production of knowledge, but also over the production of the producers of knowledge.[F] The key to reforming higher education, concludes Mr. Menand, is to alter the way in which ―the producers of k nowledge are produced.‖ Otherwise, academics will continue to think dangerously alike, increasingly detached from the societies which they study, investigate and criticize. ―Academic inquiry, at least in some fields, may need to become less exclusionary an d more holistic.‖ Yet quite how that happens, Mr. Menand dose not say.[G] The subtle and intelligent little book The marketplace of Ideas: Reform and Resistance in the American University should be read by every student thinking of applying to take a doctoral degree. They may then decide to go elsewhere. For something curious has been happening in American Universities, and Louis Menand, a professor of English at Harvard University, captured it skillfully.[A] The first and more important is the consumer's growing preference for eating out; the consumption of food and drink in places other than homes has risen from about 32 percent of total consumption in 1995 to 35 percent in 2000 and is expected to approach 38 percent by 2005. This development is boosting wholesale demand from the food service segment by 4 to 5 percent a year across Europe, compared with growth in retail demand of 1 to 2 percent. Meanwhile, as the recession is looming large, people are getting anxious. They tend to keep a tighter hold on their purse and consider eating at home a realistic alternative.[B] Retail sales of food and drink in Europe's largest markets are at a standstill, leaving European grocery retailers hungry for opportunities to grow. Most leading retailers have already tried e-commerce, with limited success, and expansion abroad. But almost all have ignored the big, profitable opportunity in their own backyard: the wholesale food and drink trade, which appears to be just the kind of market retailers need.[C] Will such variations bring about a change in the overall structure of the food and drink market? Definitely not. The functioning of the market is based on flexible trends dominated by potential buyers. In other words, it is up to the buyer, rather than the seller, to decide what to buy .At any rate, this change will ultimately be acclaimed by an ever-growing number of both domestic and international consumers, regardless of how long the current consumer pattern will take hold.[D] All in all, this clearly seems to be a market in which big retailers could profitably apply their scale, existing infrastructure and proven skills in the management of product ranges, logistics, and marketing intelligence. Retailers that master the intricacies of wholesaling in Europe may well expect to rake in substantial profits thereby. At least, that is how it looks as a whole. Closer inspection reveals important differences among the biggest national markets, especially in their customer segments and wholesale structures, as well as the competitive dynamics of individual food and drink categories. Big retailers must understand these differences before they can identify the segments of European wholesaling in which their particular abilities might unseat smaller but entrenched competitors. New skills and unfamiliar business models are needed too.[E] Despite variations in detail, wholesale markets in the countries that have been closely examined—France, Germany, Italy, and Spain—are made out of the same building blocks. Demand comes mainly from two sources: independent mom-and-pop grocery stores which, unlike large retail chains, are two small to buy straight from producers, and food service operators that cater to consumers when they don't eat at home. Such food service operators range from snack machines to large institutional catering ventures, but most of these businesses are known in the trade as "horeca": hotels, restaurants, and cafes. Overall, Europe's wholesale market for food and drink is growing at the same sluggish pace as the retail market, but the figures, when added together, mask two opposing trends.[F] For example, wholesale food and drink sales come to $268 billion in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom in 2000—more than 40 percent of retail sales. Moreover, average overall margins are higher in wholesale than in retail; wholesale demand from the food service sector is growing quickly as more Europeans eat out more often; and changes in the competitive dynamics of this fragmented industry are at last making it feasible for wholesalers to consolidate.[G] However, none of these requirements should deter large retailers (and even some large good producers and existing wholesalers) from trying their hand, for those that master the intricacies of wholesaling in Europe stand to reap considerable gains.Coinciding with the groundbreaking theory of biological evolution proposed by British naturalist Charles Darwin in the 1860s, British social philosopher Herbert Spencer put forward his own theory of biological and cultural evolution. Spencer argued that all worldly phenomena, including human societies, changed over time, advancing toward perfection.41.____________.American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late 1800s. Morgan, along with Tylor, was one of the founders of modern anthropology. In his work, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies.42._____________.In the early 1900s in North America, German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism. Historical particularism, which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures, gave new direction to anthropology. 43._____________.Boas felt that the culture of any society must be understood as the result of a unique history and not as one of many cultures belonging to a broader evolutionary stage or type of culture. 44._______________.Historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology, largely through the influence of many students of Boas. But a number of anthropologists in the early 1900s also rejected the particularist theory of culture in favor of diffusionism. Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions of a few, especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists, then spread to other cultures. 45.________________.Also in the early 1900s, French sociologist Émile Durkheim developed a theory of culture that would greatly influence anthropology. Durkheim proposed that religious beliefs functioned to reinforce social solidarity. An interest in the relationship between the function of society and culture—known as functionalism—became a major theme in European, and especially British, anthropology.[A] Other anthropologists believed that cultural innovations, such as inventions, had a single origin and passed from society to society. This theory was known as diffusionism.[B] In order to study particular cultures as completely as possible, Boas became skilled in linguistics, the study of languages, and in physical anthropology, the study of human biology and anatomy.[C] He argued that human evolution was characterized by a struggle he called the "survival of the fittest," in which weaker races and societies must eventually be replaced by stronger, more advanced races and societies.[D] They also focused on important rituals that appeared to preserve a people's social structure, such as initiation ceremonies that formally signify children's entrance into adulthood.[E] Thus, in his view, diverse aspects of culture, such as the structure of families, forms of marriage, categories of kinship, ownership of property, forms of government, technology, and systems of food production, all changed as societies evolved.[F] Supporters of the theory viewed as a collection of integrated parts that work together to keep a society functioning.[G] For example, British anthropologists Grafton Elliot Smith and W. J. Perry incorrectly suggested, on the basis of inadequate information, that farming, pottery making, and metallurgy all originated in ancient Egypt and diffused throughout the world. In fact, all of these cultural developments occurred separately at different times in many parts of the world.The time for sharpening pencils, arranging your desk, and doing almost anything else instead of writing has ended. The first draft will appear on the page only if you stop avoiding the inevitable and sit, stand up, or lie down to write. (41) Be flexible. Your outline should smoothly conduct you from one point to the next, but do not permit it to railroad you. If a relevant and important idea occurs to you now, work it into the draft. (42) Grammar, punctuation, and spelling can wait until you revise. Concentrate on what you are saying. Good writing most often occurs when you are in hot pursuit of an idea rather than in a nervous search for errors.(43) Your pages will be easier to keep track of that way, and, if you have to clip a paragraph to place it elsewhere, you will not lose any writing on the other side.If you are working on a word processor, you can take advantage of its capacity to make additions and deletions as well as move entire paragraphs by making just a few simple keyboard commands. Some software programs can also check spelling and certain grammatical elements in your writing. (44) These printouts are also easier to read than the screen when you work on revisions.Once you have a first draft on paper, you can delete material that is unrelated to your thesis and add material necessary to illustrate your points and make your paper convincing. The student who wrote ―The A & P as a State of Mind‖ wisely dropped a paragraph that questioned whether Sammy displays chauvinistic attitudes toward women. (45) Remember that your initial draft is only that. You should go through the paper many times – and then again – working to substantiate and clarify your ideas. You may even end up with several entire versions of the paper. Rewrite. The sentences within each paragraph should be related to a single topic. Transitions should connect one paragraph to the next so that there are no abrupt or confusing shifts. Awkward or wordy phrasing or unclear sentences and paragraphs should be mercilessly poked and prodded into shape.[A] To make revising easier, leave wide margins and extra space between lines so that you can easily add words, sentences, and corrections. Write on only one side of the paper.[B] After you have clearly and adequately developed the body of your paper, pay particular attention to the introductory and concluding paragraphs. It’s probably best to write the introduction last, after you know precisely what you are introducing. Concluding paragraphs demand equal attention because they leave the reader with a final impression.[C] It’s worth remembering, however, that though a clean copy fresh off a printer may look terrific, it will read only as well as the thinking and writing that have gone into it. Many writers prudently store their data on disks and print their pages each time they finish a draft to avoid losing any material because of power failures or other problems.[D] It makes no difference how you write, just so you do. Now that you have developed a topic into a tentative thesis, you can assemble your notes and begin to flesh out whatever outline you have made.[E] Although this is an interesting issue, it has nothing to do with the thesis, which explains how the setting influences Sammy’s decision to quit his job. Instead of including that paragraph, she added one that described Lengel’s crabbed response to the girls so that she could lead up to the A & P ―policy‖ he enforces.[F] In the final paragraph about the significan ce of the setting in ―A & P,‖ the student brings together the reasons Sammy quit his job by referring to his refusal to accept Lengel’s store policies.[G] By using the first draft as a means of thinking about what you want to say, you will very likely discover more than your notes originally suggested. Plenty of good writers don’t use outlines at all but discover ordering principles as they write. Do not attempt to compose a perfectly correct draft the first time around.。

电脑和书本的优缺点英语作文Computers and books each have their own advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, computers provide a wealth of information and can be easily updated. They also offer convenience as they are portable and allow for quick referencing and searching. On the other hand, books hold a sense of nostalgia and provide a tactile experience that cannot be replicated by computers. They also allow for deep focus and concentration without the distractions that come with using a computer. 电脑和书本各有利弊。
一方面,电脑提供了丰富的信息,可以很容易地更新。
它们也很方便,可以随身携带,快速查阅和搜索。
另一方面,书本则拥有怀旧感,提供了一种电脑无法复制的触觉体验。
它们还可以让人全神贯注,不受使用电脑时带来的干扰。
From an academic perspective, books have long been the primary source of learning and education. They serve as the foundation of knowledge and are often the basis for academic research and study. However, with the advancement of technology, more and more academic resources are now available online, making it easier for students and researchers to access information. Additionally, electronic books are becoming increasingly popular, allowing formore convenient and portable access to academic materials. 从学术角度看,书本长期以来一直是学习和教育的主要来源。

I expected a verbal pat on the back for my [diligence] (2) and hard work. [Instead] (3), he asked me what I was doing so late at the office and inquired if I had been doing that every night since taking over. I told him I had indeed been working late every night.[Contrary](4) to what I expected, he told me anyone could be a workaholic and achieve great things [professionally] (5). Yet he had hired me to [perform] (6) and excel (干得出色) in not one but two areas: my professional and personal life.This incident caused me to do a lot of introspection (沉思).

appointed as one of the Editors of International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS)(/structure/editors.html)for2000-2004.The author will be responsible for compiling the Events Calendar(/calendar.html)(Chen,2001b), which will be published in ISPRS Highlights and placed on the ISPRS home page().The author has been chairperson of WG VI/4for1996-2000(Chen,2000),Internet resource for ISPRS,and in that capacity has guided the ISPRS Internet and Web Pages(Chen,1998,1999a,1999b,1999c, 1999d).This Events Calendar was compiled manually by previous editor and contained some incorrect information,or missed some important events.The author has established an automatic system to search and to publish the information of spatial information,photogrammetry,remote sensing,and GIS on the Internet as well as on the ISPRS Highlights(Chen, 2001a).2.APPOINTMENTThe author has been appointed Event Calendar Editor of ISPRS for2000-2004.The author will be responsible for compiling the Events Calendar,which will be published in ISPRS Highlights and placed on the ISPRS home page.The author teaches photogrammetry in China Institute of Technology, Taipei,Taiwan and has been Chairperson of WG VI/4,Internet resource for ISPRS,1996-2000,and in that capacity has drafted the Guidelines for the ISPRS Web Pages.3.TERMS OF REFERENCEThe ISPRS Events Calendar is published in the quarterly ISPRS bulletin,ISPRS Highlights,and regularly updated on the ISPRS Home Page.The Calendar contains a list of all ISPRS and Sister Societies(FIG,ICA,IAG,IHO,IGU,etc.)sponsored and co-sponsored workshops,symposia,tutorials,conferences, congreses,and other meetings.It also contains details of all international and national events on topics related to the activities of spatial information,photogrammetry,remote sensing,geomatics,surveying,mapping,machine vision,image processing and similar areas.The Editor–ISPRS Events Calendar will be responsible for updating the entries in the Calendar on a regular basis.The tasks are:•Provision to the ISPRS Highlights publishers in an agreed format,of an updated Calendar for eachquarterly edition of ISPRS Highlights,approximatelyfive weeks before the publication dates of1March,1June,1September and1December.The commencingdate of the entries in the Calendar will be one monthafter the publication dates.•Provision to the ISPRS Web page on an up-to-date basis in an agreed format,updated versions of the Calendarfor the ISPRS Home Page.•Collection of details from ISPRS officers of all ISPRS sponsored and co-sponsored events,including theme ofthe event,dates,location,contact persons and addressesfor publication in the Calendar.•Collection,from appropriate sources,of details of events on topics related to the areas of activity ofISPRS,including theme of the event,dates,location,contact persons and addresses for publication in theCalendar.•Maintenance of contact with the ISPRS Secretary General on the status of the events calendar on amonthly basis.4.PROCEDURES4.1VersionsFor efficiency,different headings,and to avoid errors in signifying changes,two versions will be created-one for Highlights and another for the Web Page.The Web Page version is maintained constantly as new entries are found by this searching system automatically daily.The Highlights version is created and modified from the final Web Page version created for the months of March,June,September and December.4.2Home Page versionThis automatic system will make the following procedures daily:•Cut out obsolete entries.•Using previous Web Page version,do three“find”and “replace”operations on:"NEW","UPDATED",bold.The bold headings and"Confirmed by Council"or"Cosponsorship"notations are to be retained in bold.Atend of this operation there will be a clean version.•Search for new entries and updates on Internet.Make all new entries in bold and signify as"NEW".Makeupdates and signify as"UPDATED",with changed dataonly in bold.Add ISPRS logo to all ISPRS sponsoredevents as informed from Secretary General.SecretaryGeneral will also inform whether the event has beenapproved"Confirmed by Council"or is"pendingCouncil approval"or if the event has"Cosponsorship"by ISPRS.•Publish updated version to Web page.4.3Highlights VersionThis automatic system will make the following procedures quarterly:•Change header information to show Web Page site.•Using current Web Page version,cut out obsolete entries from the previous quarter and current month.•Send by e-mail to ISPRS Highlights and Council one month before publication month.4.4ContentsThis automatic system will do the following procedures generally:•Receive inputs from outside sources.Seek events from trade publication calendars and from Internet searchesof relevant organizations(see links below)by thisautomatic searching system.•Keep all entries to those having international interest(e.g.international in event title)or from those of ISPRSmember organizations(Ordinary,Associate,Regional,Sustaining).•Do not list user groups unless the organization is an ISPRS Sustaining Member, e.g..Intergraph,ESRI,ERIM,etc.That helps promote organizations to becomeISPRS Sustaining Members.•Except for ISPRS events,do not list events,which do not have city,country and a phone or e-mail contactaddress.•Except for ISPRS events and those of the JBSIS(Joint Board of Sister Societies-ICA,IAG,IHO,FIG,IGU),do not list events,which have pending dates.•Details-a)Check locations column to verify that the country is in all capital letters;the city is in lower case.b)Check order of dates to ensure earliest dates are first.c)Check that all ISPRS events have a"Confirmed byCouncil"or"Confirmation pending"notation in theleftmost column.d)Check these items in the event field:make sure ISPRS is before WG;make sure WG isbefore all WGs in listing;make sure ISPRS WGs areRoman for Commission and Arabic for WG number,e.g..IV/3;use IC WG for intercommission WGs;putquotation titles on a separate line if space permits;puthyphen before each event if multiple events are in samelisting;always seek ways to reduce number of lines;verify www addresses when time permits.•There should always be in the left column for all ISPRS events either"Confirmed by Council"or"approvalpending"or"Cosponsorship Confirmed by Council".The"approval pending"gives ISPRS Council andTechnical Commission Presidents an indication of whatis being proposed and will help them coordinate eventsand avoid conflicts.4.5GeneralThe purpose for ISPRS Events Calendar is to allow WGs and Commissions to identify open dates or events,which they may link up with or avoid conflicting with.This avoidance of conflicting with other events externally and definitely internally is a major responsibility of ISPRS.We publish the calendar to encourage others to do likewise.The margins of the table are set so that the calendar may be published in Highlights without alteration.Search for relevant events.Identify events,which will be of interest to ISPRS Members and to Members of the JBSIS.It is important to cover events,which are on the interdisciplinary boundaries of ISPRS so that all Commissions and WGs are aware of who and how they can interface with related organizations.4.6Searching TechniqueThe system is using the newest technique of searching engineand programming tools for web pages and Internet server (Lin,1997).Following software,operating system,programminglanguages,and programming tools have been used:MicrosoftWindows 2000Server,Microsoft SQL Server 2000,Microsoft.NET Web N-tiers,IIS,Microsoft Office XP,Dynamic HTML,XML/SOAP,JAVA Script,VB Script,CGI,ASP,PHP,Delphi,etc.The flow chart of this system is shown in Figure1.Figure1.Flow chart of the system The system searches for relevant events and identifies events,which will be of interest to ISPRS and to other Sister Societies,automatically.It is important to cover events,which are on the interdisciplinary boundaries of ISPRS so that all Commissions and WGs are aware of who and how they can interface with related Sister Societies.The new events and updated events of Spatial Information will be compiled immediately,then up-loaded and published on the Internet to keep it up-to-date.The following are some examples of sources:/conferences//meetings.html

(/links/tutorial.html).It tries to collect the wide gamma of educational material and software for Photogrammetry,Remote Sensing and GIS available on the Internet.It is not a complete list yet,but some pointers are listed about:•Free software,in particular from CATCON,the Computer Assisted Teaching contest organised by WG VI/2 (/wg2/).The main objective of the CATCON contest is to promote the development and dissemination of multimedia products, educational information and simulation packages for computer assisted teaching.In general,material submitted by contestants should be non-commercial and provided free of charge for not-for-profit use.•Education,training,research and fellowship opportunities in Remote Sensing,GIS and its applications.It is an educational Directory (http://www.ltid.inpe.br/dsr/tania/Rsdir/)that has been developed in the period1996-2000as a task of ISPRS TCVI/WG1on education and as part of the ISPRS Educational Opportunities Program.It is a first attempt to providing a comprehensive directory of education and training services in the remote sensing and spatial information sciences.The Directory was developed from an original document prepared some years ago by the UN Office of Outer Space Affairs in Vienna.In this directory it is possible to get information from all members states that are involved in Space Science.The information contained in this directory for each institution includes its areas of specialisation,the educational and research programmes offered,the facilities available,the prerequisite qualifications,financial information,fellowship opportunities and opportunities for international cooperation.This Directory is necessarily incomplete because of the difficulty in obtaining accurate and timely information about all education institutions around the world in a range of languages.Therefore education institutions are encouraged to provide their new or updated details of education and training programs in the remote sensing and spatial information sciences.•Tutorials in Photogrammetry,Remote Sensing and GIS •News about satellite missions and launches •Glossaries and Acronyms used in Remote Sensing,GIS, Radar and Cartography•Journals of Photogrammetry,Geodesy and Remote Sensing•Presentation and Proceeding of ISPRS Workshops, Symposium or CongressesWorking Group VI/1(/wg1/) provides a bigger database of education-related links,including training opportunities,online publications and journals, continuing education courses,educational institutions,free software,missions and instruments information.7.CONCLUSIONThe author has established an automatic system to search and to publish the information of geo-spatial information, photogrammetry,remote sensing,surveying,geomatics,and GIS on the Internet.Appendix A shows an example of the result from this system.This system can be easily modified as a tool to search and to generate geo-spatial information for environmental and resource management on Internet by changing searching keywords,and therefore will deal with collaborative capacity building, education and training,international co-operation and technology transfer in geomatics for environmental and resource management.Appendix B shows an example generated by the author for the ISPRS Ordinary Member Cameroon(/isprs_cameroon).REFERENCESChen,T.-C.,1998.Guidelines for
