Put Keywords here first, then follow with your Body Text. A list of no more than 5 keywords will identify your paper in indices and databases. Use text of about 10 points in size, but never smaller than 8 points. Use boldface for the word “Keywords” then regular text for the keywords themselves.
Use the same size and font type for the Body Text. Fonts must be one or more of the following: Times New Roman, Arial, Symbol, or Courier. These fonts are installed on almost all computers, and are also included with this template.
Text can be either flush left or justified.
Arial: This is a sample of Arial.
Symbol: abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
Courier: This is a sample of Courier.
MAJOR HEADINGS
All caps, bold, flush left. Start the text on the next line.
Subheadings
Initial caps, bold, flush left. Start the text on the next line.
Secondary Subheadings
Initial caps, bold, indented about five spaces. Start the text on next line.
Footnotes
Use footnotes sparingly; endnotes can be substituted.
Begin two lines below the end of the column. Include a line or underscore between the body text and the footnote.
For the format for the second and all subsequent pages of text, see the next page. One column.
Tables and Figures
Your paper will be printed in CD-Rom Proceedings, so you may use color figures. Make sure that text and legends in figures are readable.
Table Headings and Figure Captions
Number figures sequentially, and number tables separately, also sequentially.
Start the caption with the number of the figure or table. Figure captions should appear at the bottom of the figure itself, and table headings should appear at the top. A sample caption and heading:
Figure 6. Graph of the output of the first simulation run
Table 2. Comparison of the two methods used for each simulation run
References
You can list your references either in a numbered list in the order that the citations appear in the text, or in an alphabetical listing by author name.
Reference Citations in Text
If using references by numbered list, cite the reference in the paper’s body with square brackets around the numeral, e.g. [1], [2-5], etc.
If listing reference by author name, use the following methods to cite them in the body text:
[Smith 1999]: Single author
[Smith 1999a]: Multiple papers by same author, published in the same year, with the final letter determined by the order in which the citations appear in the text
[Smith and Jones 1999]: Two authors
[Smith et al. 1999]: Three or more authors
Reference List
For a numbered list, start each reference with the number inside square brackets.
For an alphabetical list, start with the primary author’s last name.
Use initial caps in titles
Use quotation marks around titles of articles, chapters, reports, theses and dissertations
Put titles of books in italic type. If italic is not available, use an underscore
Include page numbers, volume, number and date of periodicals, and publisher when available
Samples of several types of reference listings can be found in your author kit
Biography
If space permits, include a brief biography of no more than 300 words for each author at the end of the article to give it greater impact and validity for the audience.
