Deciphering the Citation

Be careful! This citation is short but it is jam packed with information.  The most notable is the authorship: there are personal authors, editors and publishers all listed. 

Also note the abbreviations.  Are you sure you know what they mean?  Does Remed = remedies or remediation?  Is the word "and" between the words "Management" and "Environmental"?  Sometimes a simple Google search can help clarify these abbreviation issues.   

One last point to note is the difference between the conference name and the proceedings title.  Knowing that there is a difference will help you to recognize when you have found what you are looking for.
