  1. Introduction

The easiest way to make sure that the paper conformed to the requirement is to use this document as a template and copy and paste your content into this document. The main part of the paper is formatted into two equally width columns with single spacing. Section headings should be concise and numbered sequentially, using a decimal system for subsections. Emphasized words should be italicized, but such emphasis should be sparingly used.

2.Headings

If the heading should run into more than one line, the run-over should be flushed left.

2.1.Second Level Heading

The next level of heading is boldface with upper and lower case letters. The heading is flushed left with the left margin.

2.1.1 Example of Third-Level Heading which Run more than One Line and Flushed Left

The third-level of heading follows the style of the second-level heading. Avoid using more than third level for heading.

3.Research Method

All papers must be submitted electronically in Microsoft Word format. Prepare your paper using an A4 page size of 210 mm  297 mm (8.27"  11.69").

1)Type sizes and typefaces: The best results will be obtained if your computer word processor has several type sizes. Try to follow the type sizes specified in Table 1 as best as you can.

Table 1.List of paper elements classified by font size and font appearance

Font Size (pts) / Font appearance
Regular / Bold / Italic
9 / - / Abstract & keywords headings / Abstract, Keywords
10 / Authors’ affiliations, main text, equations, table names, figure names / Authors’ names, headings, table captions, figure captions / Subheadings
12 / Paper title

2)Format: In formatting your page, set top, bottom, left, and right margin to 17.5 mm.

Left and right-justify your columns.Use automatic hyphenation and check spelling. All figures, tables, and equations must be included in-line with the text. Do not use links to external files.

  1. Results and Discussions

4.1.Figures and Tables

Graphics is recommended using TIFF or JPEG format, 600 dpi (1 bit/sample) for line art (graphics, charts, drawings or tables) and 220 dpi for photos and gray scale images

Figures and tables are positioned close to (preferably after) the first sentence or paragraph mentioning the related figure or table. Adjust tables and figures to fit the column length. Though it is not recommended, large figures and tables may span across both columns (see example of Fig.1). Figure captions should be below the figures; table names and table captions should be above the tables.

Figure axis labels are often a source of confusion. Try to use words rather than symbols. As an example, write the quantity “Magnetization,” or “Magnetization M,” not just “M.” Put units in parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. As in Fig. 1, for example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization (Am1),” not just “A/m.” Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write “Temperature (K),” not “Temperature/K.”

Multipliers can be especially confusing. Write “Magnetization (kA/m)” or “Magnetization (103 A/m).” Do not write “Magnetization (A/m)  1000” because the reader would not know whether the top axis label in Fig. 1 meant 16000 A/m or 0.016 A/m. Figure labels should be legible, approximately 10-point type.

4.2. References

The references should be listed in numerical order according to the chronological appearance in the paper. Each reference should be written in the order of following sections: the author's name, year of publication (under bracket), title of the paper or other sources, the name of the journal / proceedings / book title in italics, volume, page, and No. DOI / ISSN / ISBN (if any). Full period (.) should be applied after all authors names, year and title.

The article title should be plain and only the first character of the whole title should be uppercased. Journal names, names of conference proceedings, and book titles should be italicized and should have the first character of each word uppercased. The journal volume number should be bold.

The styles of reference citations are illustrated.The cited reference must be written with chronological number as they appear in the text enclosed in square brackets "[ ]". If more than one references are used, all reference numbers should be merged into one square brackets, eg [1. 7. 9].

It is recommended to avoid referring a Web source since the availability is not secured. If there is an official document source, for instance, a journal paper, for the same document, please refer the official document. However, you may sparingly use Web sources. In the case, when available, the title, the author name, and the year should be clarified in addition to the detailed address.

4.3. Abbreviations and Acronyms

Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after they have already been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations such as SI, MKS, CGS, ac, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Abbreviations that incorporate periods should not have spaces: write “C.N.R.S.,” not “C. N. R. S.” Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are unavoidable

4.4. Equations

Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). To make your equations more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Use a long dash rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a sentence, as in

A + B = C. (1)

Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Italicize variables (T might refer to temperature, but T is the unit tesla). Refer to “(1),” not “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is ... .”

  1. Conclusions

Finally, you are responsible for well written language in your paper as editors will not check it. Be sure to do a spell and grammar check. This is available in word processor. If English is not your native language, get a professional proof-reader to help if possible.

The word “data” is plural, not singular. The subscript for the permeability of vacuum µ0 is zero, not a lowercase letter “o.” In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this period.” A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) A graph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The word “alternatively” is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you really mean something that alternates). Use the word “whereas” instead of “while” (unless you are referring to simultaneous events). Do not use the word “essentially” to mean “approximately” or “effectively.” Do not use the word “issue” as a euphemism for “problem.”

Be aware of the different meanings of the homophones “affect” (usually a verb) and “effect” (usually a noun), “complement” and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,” “principal” (e.g., “principal investigator”) and “principle” (e.g., “principle of measurement”). Do not confuse “imply” and “infer.”

Prefixes such as “non,” “sub,” “micro,” “multi,” and “ultra” are not independent words; they should be joined to the words they modify, usually without a hyphen. There is no period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.” (it is also italicized). The abbreviation “i.e.,” means “that is,” and the abbreviation “e.g.,” means “for example” (these abbreviations are not italicized).

Acknowledgment

The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” in American English is without an “e” after the “g.” Use the singular heading even if you have many acknowledgments. Avoid expressions such as “One of us (J.Q.A.) would like to thank ... .” Instead, write “J. Q. Author thanks ... .” Sponsor and financial support acknowledgments are placed in the unnumbered footnote on the first page.
