Initially, he/she acts as the coordinator and is to be assisted by a number of additional CIRP members and also non-members who have voluntarily agreed to contribute to the paper. Only active contributors who have written substantial parts of the keynote paper should be included in the list of authors.

Persons who have submitted papers to be referenced and do not play a clear role in the preparation of the paper should be mentioned in the acknowledgements.

This must be approved in advance by the Editorial Committee Chairperson.
