Abstract (Header1: Abs-Keyw_Ack)

These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for Periodica Polytechnica. Use this document as a template to compose your paper if you are using Microsoft Word. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set. There is a very small blank line immediately above the abstract (section break), do not delete it.(Abstract).

If you already have your manuscript ready, please

• either copy it over to the template, or
• copy this template to the end of your manuscript file (this will bring over the styles),

and set the style of each paragraph as required.

Proper setting the styles will not only show the expected format and length of the paper, but also helps the typesetters to make less errors.

1Introduction(Heading 1 (nospaceabove))

This document is a template for Microsoft Word versions 6.0 or later.(Normal noindent)

2Figures (Heading 1)

Bifurcation: Plot of local maxima of x with damping a decreasing (Fig.1).(Normal noindent)

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).(Normal)

Fig. 1Bifurcation: Plot of local maxima of x with damping a decreasing (Figure / Figure Caption)

2.1Place of figures(Heading 2)

All figures must be embedded in the document. When you include the image, make sure to insert the actual image rather than a link to your local computer. As far as possible, use standard PDF conversion tools – Adobe Acrobat or Ghostscript give best results. It is important that all fonts be embedded in the resulting PDF.

3Equations

Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flushedto 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)

Style of the equation: Equation. Use the tab to position the formula and the equation number. The equations will be automatically labeled, if you copy this line, and execute print preview, or just select the number, and right-click / "update field".

A=b .(2)

References to these equations should then be made via Insert / Reference / Cross-reference, talking of (2) (select Reference type: .).

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

5Conclusion

Although a conclusion may review the main points of the paper, do not replicate the abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest applications and extensions.

References (Heading 1 (nonumbering))

References should be made to the latest literature and possibly to well-respected scientific journals, important in the field. Recommendation: more than 60% of these should be indexed by Scopus or Web of Science. 50% of all references must be younger than 5years.

References should be given with very precise data to help the reader finding them. DOI numbers or URLs (Web links to the freely available full text) should also be given where possible. The link on the DOI should be clickable (see examples: In order to find Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) for journal articles cited in your manuscript, use the page:

(you need to register first). DOIs must be given for conference papers, too.

For papers not in English, give the title in original language, after it the translation to English, and a remark at the end: (in [language]).

Please note that all references listed here must be directly cited in the body of the text.

References in the Harvard system

This journal uses the Harvard (name and date) reference system (see e.g.

for citations in the text, with a detailed list at the end of the paper. List of references are arranged alphabetically according to first author, subsequent lines indented.Do not number references. Publications by the same author(s) should be listed in order of year of publication, maybe as (2014a). If desired, references may be cited with page numbers, as Smith (2003, p.56).

If the sources include more than one researcher, two authors are cited as (Deane and Jones, 2010), more than two authors are cited as (Smith et al., 2011)

If the list of references includes persons bearing the same surnames, the first letter of the author’s name should be indicated, e.g. (Smith, 1996; Smith, 1997).
