The editorial staff uses author-supplied PDFs for all online and print publication. Authors must prepare their article using Microsoft Word according to the guidelines and templates, and then convert these files to PDF. The text of the articles should be no more than 6 pages.
It is important to ensure that when you submit your paper, it is in its final form ready for publication, and has been thoroughly proofread. Post-publication changes are not permitted, so please ensure that your paper has been checked for errors.
By submitting a paper an author and all co-authors are assumed to agree with the terms of open publication.
Please contact with conference organizer for submission instructions.
As a summary, please ensure the following:
- Paper size is European A4.
- Margins are 4cm (top), 2.5cm (left and right) and 2.7cm (bottom).
- The paper includes the author name and affiliation (full address including country).
- There are no page numbers, or headers and footers, within the paper.
- The PDF is free of formatting errors (e.g. corrupt equations, missing or low-resolution figures), since conversion from Word to PDF can introduce formatting errors.
- Text is single spaced, not double spaced.
- The PDF file is editable and not password protected.
- All pages are portrait (landscape pages should be rotated).
- Reference lists are checked for accuracy. References can only be linked via Crossref if they are correct and complete.
- Figures are placed within the text, not collected at the end of the document.
- A thorough proofread is conducted to check the standard of English and ensure wording is clear and concise.

Essential guidelines
Please follow these essential guidelines when preparing your paper:
• Basic guidelines for preparing a paper
1. References
The online versions of all reference lists will, wherever possible, be linked electronically using CrossRef. Consequently, it is vitally important for all the references to be accurate and to be carefully formatted using the guidelines below, enabling your paper to be available online with the minimum of delay.
A complete reference should provide the reader with enough information to locate the article concerned, whether published in print or electronic form, and should, depending on the type of reference, consist of:
- • name(s) and initials;
- • date published;
- • title of journal, book or other publication;
- • titles of journal articles may also be included (optional);
- • volume number;
- • editors, if any;
- • town of publication and publisher in parentheses for books;
- • the page numbers.
Please use the Vancouver numerical system where references are numbered sequentially throughout the text. The numbers occur within square brackets, like this [2], and one number can be used to designate several references. The reference list gives the references in numerical, not alphabetical, order.
Points to note
- There should be a 5 mm gap between the reference number (e.g., ‘[8]’) and the start of the reference text. Second and subsequent lines of individual references should be indented by 5 mm. For example:
[1] Aderhold J, Davydov V Yu, Fedler F, Klausing H, Mistele D, Rotter T, Semchinova O, Stemmer J and Graul J 2001 J. Cryst. Growth 222 701
- the authors should be in the form surname (with only the first letter capitalized) followed by the initials with no periods after the initials. Authors should be separated by a comma except for the last two which should be separated by ‘and’ with no comma preceding it.
- The article title (if given) should be in lower case letters, except for an initial capital, and should follow the date.
- The journal title is in italic and is abbreviated. If a journal has several parts denoted by different letters the part letter should be inserted after the journal in Roman type, e.g. Phys. Rev. A.
- Both the initial and final page numbers should be given where possible. The final page number should be in the shortest possible form and separated from the initial page number by an en rule ‘– ‘, e.g. 1203–14, i.e. the numbers ‘12’ are not repeated.
- References to printed journal articles. A normal reference to a journal article contains three changes of font (see table 6).

Preparing a paper for publication
Abstract. These guidelines (laid out in the recommended format of a published article) summarize the key requirements for an article to be published.
Articles will not be edited, proofread or have changes made to the layout; the submitted PDF will be used for both online and print. It is, therefore, the author’s responsibility to ensure that the content and layout are correct—no changes can be made after publication.
1. Key requirements
The following lists the essential requirements for an article to be published:
- the page size should be A4;
- each page should have clear margins of 4cm (top), 2.5cm (left and right) and 2.7cm (bottom);
- pages should not contain page numbers, running heads or footlines;
- all articles must contain an abstract;
- in the PDF, all fonts should be embedded.
1.1. Layout of the title page
The title should be followed by a list of all authors’ names and their affiliations. The style for the names is initials (no periods) followed by the family name. The authors’ affiliations follow the author list. If there is more than one address then a superscripted number should come at the start of each address; each author should also have a superscripted number or numbers following their name to indicate which address, or addresses, are the appropriate ones for them.
E-mail addresses may be given for any or all of the authors.
The abstract follows the list of addresses. The abstract text should be indented 25 mm from the left margin. As the abstract is not part of the text it should be complete in itself; no table numbers, figure numbers, references or displayed mathematical expressions should be included.
It should be suitable for direct inclusion in abstracting services.
2. The text
The text of your article should start on the same page as the abstract. Any Acknowledgments should be placed immediately after the last numbered section of the paper, and any appendices after the Acknowledgments section. The length limit will be provided by the conference organizer.
3. Figures and tables
Figures and tables should be numbered serially and positioned (centred on the width of the page) close to where they are mentioned in the text, not grouped together at the end. Each figure and table should have a brief explanatory caption.
3.1. Colour figures
There are no restrictions on the use of colour in the online version of your article. However, you should bear in mind that any print version of your article is likely to be in black and white which may make coloured lines difficult to distinguish.
4. Supplementary data
We are happy for authors to submit supplementary data attachments to enhance the online versions of published articles. Supplementary data enhancements typically consist of video clips, animations or supplementary data such as data files, tables of extra information or extra figures.
5. References
Online references will be linked to their original source or to the article within a secondary service such as INSPEC or ChemPort wherever possible. To facilitate this linking extra care should be taken when preparing reference lists.
A complete reference should provide enough information to locate the article concerned in print or electronic form. If you are unsure of a particular journal’s abbreviated title it is best to leave the title in full. The terms loc. cit. and ibid. should not be used.
5.1. References to printed journal articles
References to printed journal articles should typically contain:
- the authors, in the form: family name (only the first letter capitalized) followed by initials with no periods after the initials;
- the year of publication;
- the article title (optional) in lower case letters, except for an initial capital;
- the journal title (italic and abbreviated). Parts denoted by letters should be inserted after the journal in Roman type;
- the volume number in bold type;
- the article number or the page numbers.
