Stick to your subject. The IIAR Program Committee selects papers based on the material submitted in your proposal. If the final paper departs drastically from the original abstract, it may not be accepted for the final technical program. Please contact IIAR Headquarters if you wish to make a major change in topic.

Write concisely. There will not be a page limit this year, however we recommend that you be concise and limit the amount of material so it can be adequately presented within the allotted time. Typically, IIAR receives papers from 12 to 30 pages in length, including graphics.

Only include graphics that clearly enhance the reader’s understanding of the point being made.

Commercialism. The IIAR Board of Directors provides two outlets for commercial presentations: (1) the Exhibition Hall, and (2) Product/Service Showcases. The Board believes that the purpose of Technical Papers is to relate information of lasting value to the ammonia refrigeration industry, and that commercially oriented presentations (e.g., sales pitches) are not appropriate for the conference proceedings. While papers providing a fair unbiased assessment of the technical features and design basis of similar products (i.e., a technology survey) are encouraged, marketing and sales presentations are not welcome. Please refrain from directly mentioning your company name, your products by name, model number, etc. Attendees will know that products based on "new technology" presented by a manufacturer are available from that manufacturer. ( The last paper IIAR rejected for commercialism used the proprietary name of a product approximately 40 times in 9 pages, and the paper provided no information about use of the product with ammonia!)
