Preparation of papers for RTT 2013 conference
proceedings

First A. Author, Second B. Author, Jr., and Third C. Author

Abstract – These instructions give you guidelines for preparing papers for RTT 2013 Conference Proceedings. Use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft Word. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set. Define all symbols used in the abstract. Do not cite references in the abstract. Do not delete the blank line immediately above the abstract; it sets the footnote at the bottom of this column.

Keywords – About four key words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas. For a list of suggested keywords.

Fonts

Table 2 shows the font sizes and highlighting in a typical manuscript. These font “styles” are contained with this sample manuscript and Section IV below explains how to use them. Use Times Roman font to avoid font errors.

Table 2. Manuscript font sizes and formatting. This Microsoft Word template includes these formats as automated "styles", which can be selected in the Format menu -- Styles and Formatting.

FOrmating of manuscript components

Highlight a section that you want to designate with a certain style, and then select the appropriate name on the style menu. The style will adjust your fonts and line spacing. 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.

Title

Centre the paper title at the top of the page in 20-pt. Only the first word, proper nouns, and acronyms are capitalized. Keep titles brief and descriptive. Spell out acronyms unless they are widely known. Avoid starting with articles or prepositions, e.g., “The study of … ,” or, “On the ….”

Author affiliations

The author list is in 11-pt. regular, centred. Omit titles and degrees such as Dr., Prof., Ph.D., etc.

Section headings

Section headings are 10-pt. all capitals, centred. Sections numbers have roman numbers, e.g., I., II., III.… Don't number the “Acknowledgements” and “References.” Headings often used are: I. Introduction, II. Methodology, III. Data, IV. Results, and V. Conclusions.

Figures and captions

Figures are centred. Use or insert *.jpg, *.tiff, or *.gif illustrations instead of PowerPoint or graphic constructions. Captions go below figures.

Figure 1. Figure captions are without indentation and are justified. If you are familiar with Word styles, you can insert a field code called Seq figure which automatically numbers your figures.

Tables and captions

Tables are centred. The caption goes above the table. Table examples are on page 1.

Subsection heading

Subsection headings are 10-pt, italic, numbered from A, and capitalized the first word, acronyms, and proper nouns. Use 0.4 cm indentation.

Paragraphs

Add a 6-pt blank line above and below section headings and between paragraphs. Avoid headings or one-line paragraphs at the top or bottom of a page by using page breaks or extra blank lines. One method to preserve page breaks is to make the bottom margin a little larger than the specifications. Indentation is optional. This spacing is automatic if you are using the “section” styles in Word.

Text

Text is 10 point, intended 0.4 cm and justified. Each sentence ends with a period and a single space before the next sentence.

References

Denote reference citations within the text of your paper by means of a number enclosed in square brackets. List references at the end of the paper in numerical order, and enclose the reference number in square brackets.

Mathematical equations

Use common fonts like Times Roman in your math equations. A math reference in a paragraph sentence such as (α + β)/z is not numbered. The steps of a mathematical argument can be numbered using a right-aligned tab for clarity, for example

and
