Follow the formatting
instructions below. Papers that do not
comply may not be printed in the proceedings:
Copies: Submit one unstapled camera-ready original and one
stapled copy (three for student paper entries) of the manuscript by
Length: Papers are limited to six pages MAXIMUM including figures, tables, and references. Each page over the six-page limit will entail
an additional charge of $100 per page payable with the manuscript
submission. If the extra page charge is
not submitted with the manuscript, the paper will not be included in the
proceedings.
Page Numbering:
Mark your page numbers on the back
of the top right corner of each paper using a non-photo blue pencil. Do not
type or write the page numbers with a regular pen or pencil.
Style: Follow the previous RMBS-ISA Proceedings style or the
IEEE Transactions style. Use separate sections
for Abstract, Introduction, Materials & Methods, Results, Discussion,
Conclusions, Acknowledgments, and References.
Keywords: Include up to 10 keywords in the body of your abstract
to allow retrieval by electronic media software.
Abstract: Include appropriate keywords in the body of your
abstract to allow retrieval by electronic media software.
References: Number references in their text order using square
brackets. Place citations at the end of
the text using IEEE Transactions format.
Do not include any references with the citation “to be published” or
“submitted.” If the citation is a
“personal communication,” include the source’s name, affiliation, and full
postal address.
Paper Size: Use 216 x 279 mm (8.5” x 11”) bond paper.
Layout: Center the title, authors’ names, affiliations (with
full postal addresses) spanning the entire page. Use a style similar to that shown on the
sample page.
Margins: Leave 28.7 mm (1-1/8”) margins at the top and bottom
and 19 mm (3/4”) on the left and right sides.
Type Font, Style and Size: Use
Times New Roman Regular (the font on this text) or a close equivalent, 18 point bold capital letters for the title, 14
point bold capital letters for section titles, and 12 point characters for the
text.
Printer: Produce the paper in black ink using a high quality
laser printer or typewriter. Dot matrix
print does not copy well and will not be accepted. No
paper will be accepted by e-mail or FAX.
Figures: Paste figures where needed, if necessary, spanning the
entire width of the page within the allowable margins. Number and provide a caption for each
figure. Do not use characters smaller
than 8 point. Do not submit poor quality
photocopies or color photos.
Publishing your paper is a
team effort involving RMBS volunteers, ISA staff, professional publishers, and
most important—you, the author. Please
comply with these guidelines. This will
ensure a quality, professional RMBS-ISA publication. Thank you.
