1. INTRODUCTION
This document is a template for Microsoft Word versions 6.0 or later. If you are reading a paper version of this document, please use the following page configurations for A4 sized paper: 210mm x 297mm. Follow this instructions strictly to ensure automatic compliance to electronic requirements for production of electronic products and conformity of style throughout the proceedings. This will ensure your paper looks exactly like this template. The paper length should not exceed 8 pages.
2. Methodology
The template is used to format your paper and style the text. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed; please do not alter them.
The template to produce your paper is attached together with the results of your paper review in your email. Get the template and replace the content with your own material. This section describes various methods adopted in your paper.
2.1 Procedure (subsection)
Please download template paper to your computer. Then “save as” with a different name (Ex: mytemplate.docx). Now, copy-paste your paper “paragraph by paragraph” to mytemplate.docx
NOTE: If the “font size or type” of your paper is different, you may have problems while pasting it to mytemplate.docx.
To solve this font problem:
1st Step: Copy-paste the paragraph from your paper to a text editor like notepad.
2nd Step: Copy-paste the paragraph from notepad to mytemplate.docx. Do not change the font sizes or line spacing to squeeze more text into a limited number of pages. Use italics for emphasis; do not underline.
To insert images in Word, position the cursor at the insertion point and either use Insert | Picture | From File or copy the image to the Windows clipboard and then Edit | Paste Special | Picture (with “Float over text” unchecked).
2.2 Figures
Ensure that all figures and tables are appropriately cited in the text. Large figures and tables may span both columns. Place figure captions below the figures; place table titles above the tables. If your figure has two parts, include the labels “(a)” and “(b)” as part of the artwork. Please verify that the figures and tables you mention in the text actually exist. Please do not include captions as part of the figures. Do not put captions in “text boxes” linked to the figures. Do not put borders around the outside of your figures. Do not use the abbreviation “Fig.” in the body text rather use Figure even at the beginning of a sentence. Do not abbreviate “Table.” Tables are numbered with Roman numerals.
2.3 Helpful Hints
1) Figures and Tables: Results and discussion entails the use of words to describe the implication of the results expected/obtained. Often, figures, tables and plates are powerful means to proper technical result reporting and discussion. Examples of figures and tables are given in Figure 1 and Table 1. Use 8pts font size Times New Roman for contents of table as in Table 1. Specify unit of measurement of table content appropriately.
2) Page margins: Authors must strictly follow the margins defined in Table 1. All dimensions are in centimeters. Note that for authors who directly copy-paste their paper into this template, their page margins are preset.
3) Math: If you are using Word, use either the Microsoft Equation Editor or the MathType add-on (http://www.mathtype.com) for equations in your paper (Insert | Object | Create New | Microsoft Equation or MathType Equation). “Float over text” should not be selected.
4) Units: Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are strongly encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). For example, write “15 Gb/cm2 (100 Gb/in2).” An exception is when English units are used as identifiers in trade, such as 3½in disk drive. Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each quantity in an equation.
The SI unit for magnetic field strength H is A/m. However, if you wish to use units of T, either refer to magnetic flux density B or magnetic field strength symbolized as µ0H. Use the center dot to separate compound units, e.g., “A·m2.”
2.4 Copyright Form
A copyright form should accompany your final submission. Authors should submit a signed copy of this together with the final camera-ready manuscript.
2.5 References
Use the Author and year style of referencing. Citations in the main body of text, appendices, tables and figures are to be made using the Surname of the author (both authors when only two; first author plus et al. when more than two).For two or more papers published in the same year by the same author(s), add a, b, c, etc. to the year such as (1980a) or (1980b) and cite jointly as Jones et al. (1980a, b).
Do not use numbers in square bracket to cite reference in the body text rather insert citation within bracket as in (Sadiq and Nwohu, 2013). List of all references cited (including citations in tables, figures and appendices) in the body of text is provided in alphabetically order at the end of the paper according to the last name of the first author. The titles of papers, patents and books or monograph chapters, journal Volume, issue/number and the initial and final page numbers are to be included.
2.6 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, see Table 2. Abbreviations such as, SI, ac, and dc 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.
2.7 Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). First use the equation editor to create the equation. Then select the “Equation” markup style. Press the tab key and write the equation number in parentheses. To make your equations more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations when they are part of a sentence, as in
(1)
Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Italicize symbols (T might refer to temperature, but T is the unit tesla). Refer to equation as “Eq. (1)” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is ... .”
3. Some Common Mistakes
The word “data” is plural, not singular. The subscript for the permeability of vacuum µ0 is zero, not a lowercase letter “o.” The term for residual magnetization is “remanence”; the adjective is “remanent”; do not write “remnance” or “remnant.” Use the word “micrometer” instead of “micron.” 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.” When compositions are not specified, separate chemical symbols by en-dashes; for example, “NiMn” indicates the intermetallic compound Ni0.5Mn0.5 whereas “Ni–Mn” indicates an alloy of some composition NixMn1-x.
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).
4. Conclusion
A conclusion may review the main points of the paper and should state concisely the most important propositions of the paper as well as the author’s views of the practical implications of the results; in addition to deductions that can be made from the results presented. Do not replicate the abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest applications and extensions.
Acknowledgment
A short acknowledgement section can be written between the conclusion and the references. Authors may wish to acknowledge the sponsors of the research and others in brief. Use the singular heading even if you have many acknowledgments. Avoid expressions such as “One of us (S.B.A.) would like to thank ... .” Instead, write “F. A. Author thanks ... .”
