1. Introduction (Heading 1)
This template, modified in MS Word 2007 and saved as a “Word 97-2003 Document” for
the PC, provides authors with most of the formatting specifications needed for preparing
electronic versions of their papers. All standard paper components have been specified for
three reasons: (1) ease of use when formatting individual papers, (2) automatic compliance to
electronic requirements that facilitate the concurrent or later production of electronic products,
and (3) conformity of style throughout a conference proceedings. Margins, column widths, line
spacing, and type styles are built-in; examples of the type styles are provided throughout this
document and are identified in italic type, within parentheses, following the example. Some
components, such as multi-leveled equations, graphics, and tables are not prescribed, although
the various table text styles are provided. The formatter will need to create these components,
incorporating the applicable criteria that follow.
2. Ease of Use
A. Selecting a Template (Heading 2)
First, confirm that you have the correct template for your paper size. This template has been
tailored for output on the A4 paper size. If you are using US letter-sized paper, please close this
file and download the file “MSW_USltr_format”.
B. Units
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are encouraged.) English units
may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of
English units as identifiers in trade, such as “3.5-inch 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
that you use in an equation.
Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: “Wb/m2” or “webers per
square meter,” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when they appear in text: “...a few
henries,” not “...a few H.”
Identify applicable sponsor/s here. If no sponsors, delete this text box (sponsors).
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm3,” not “cc.” (bullet list)
C. Equations
The equations are an exception to the prescribed specifications of this template. You will
need to determine whether or not your equation should be typed using either the Times New
Roman or the Symbol font (please no other font). To create multileveled equations, it may be
necessary to treat the equation as a graphic and insert it into the text after your paper is styled.
Number equations consecutively. Equation numbers, within parentheses, are to position
flush right, as in (1), using a right tab stop. To make your equations more compact, you may
use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use a long dash rather than a hyphen for a
minus sign. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a sentence, as
in
A+b= y (1)
Note that the equation is centered using a center tab stop. Be sure that the symbols in your
equation have been defined before or immediately following the equation. Use “(1),” not “Eq.
(1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is ...”
Figure Labels: Use 8 point Times New Roman for Figure labels. Use words rather than
symbols or abbreviations when writing Figure axis labels to avoid confusing the reader. As an
example, write the quantity “Magnetization,” or “Magnetization, M,” not just “M.” If including
units in the label, present them within parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. In the
example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization (A ( m(1),” not just “A/m.” Do not
label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write “Temperature (K),” not
“Temperature/K.”
5. Acknowledgment
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” in America is without an “e” after
the “g.” Avoid the stilted expression “one of us (R. B. G.) thanks ...”. Instead, try “R. B. G.
thanks...”. Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered footnote on the first page.
6. References
The template will number citations consecutively within brackets [1]. The sentence
punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]—do not
use “Ref. [3]” or “reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] was the
first ...”
Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the
column in which it was cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list. Use letters for table
footnotes.
Unless there are six authors or more give all authors’ names; do not use “et al.”. Papers that
have not been published, even if they have been submitted for publication, should be cited as
“unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been accepted for publication should be cited as “in press”
[5]. Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns and element
symbols.
For papers published in translation journals, please give the English citation first, followed
by the original foreign-language citation [6].
