Report Writing Guidance

We're excited that you are interested in contributing to the community report from the 2025 SNOLAB Future Projects Workshop! Please find below instructions to help you get your summary material into the document.

Who is coordinating the document?

The corresponding author is Miriam Diamond from the University of Toronto and technical support for the writing process is being provided by Stephen Sekula from SNOLAB/Queen's University.

If you have questions about the document or problems making contributions, please contact Stephen Sekula.

What is the deadline?

Excellent question! We will solicit input from all speakers about whether or not they intend to submit material. In parallel, we ask that anyone planning to contribute write the minimal contribution within 1 week of the end of the workshop (by Friday, May 9). We will then follow up with contributors and with those who intended to contribute to facilitate concluding their submissions.

The final writing deadline is May 21.

The editing team will then finalize the document. 

Where will the report appear?

The report will be made public on the arXiv. Contributors should keep this in mind, and if there are non-public items or items that require approval for sharing, those items should not be put in the report without approval from your projects/collaborations.

How do I contribute?

The report is growing on Overleaf:

To access it, you need to request permission from Stephen Sekula.

Once you have access to the document, it is structured as follows:

  • str_main.tex is the top-level LATEX file. Contributors should never need to touch this. 
  • metadata.tex is where you add your author name (First Initial(s), Last Name) and your institution(s).
  • You create the file that will contain your "micro proceedings" in the src/ folder. You can clone/copy src/topic-example.tex and then fill that with your material. Try to maintain the file name format of topic-MYTOPICNAME.tex 
  • Images should be uploaded to the Images/ folder
  • We are using BibTex to construct the bibliography, so when citing references please enter the bibtex for the reference(s) in main.bib and then cite it in your text, e.g. \cite{Bossio:2023wpj} for a single reference or \cite{Bossio:2023wpj,McDonald:2017izm} for multiple references.
  • Add any appropriate acknowledgements for your contribution to the acknowledgements.tex file. This could be for thoughtful discussions that influenced your presentation or micro-proceedings, funding support that enabled the research or participation in the workshop, etc.

 

Compilation of the document is likely to break (e.g., sometimes people will put an ampersand or percent sign in a document and forget to escape it, etc.). This is OK! If you cannot resolve the problem on your own, please contact Stephen Sekula who can try to fix the issue(s).
