Paper Preparation Guidelines
Manuscripts
Authors are advised to use the templates and in case of difficulties they should consult the JACOW electronic publication help pages . The templates contain styles which, when applied, will automatically ensure correct typesetting and layout.
Length of Contributions
Contributed papers for both oral and poster presentation may be up to 6 pages long.
General Layout
See the template for a typical implementation of the requirements.
Manuscripts should be prepared for one side of the paper and have:
- Either A4 (21.0 cm x 29.7 cm; 8.27 in x 11.69 in) or US letter size (21.6 cm x 27.9 cm; 8.5in x 11.0 in)
- Single spaced text in two columns of 82.5 mm (3.25 in.) with 5. 3mm (0.2 in.) separation.
- The text located within the margins specified as follows to facilitate electronic processing of the postscript file.
The margins should be as follows:

Authors should use only Times or Times New Roman (in roman, bold or italic) and Symbol fonts. All contributions should use 10pt fonts for the normal text.
Title
The title should use 14pt bold uppercase letters and be centred on the page.
The names of the authors and their organisation/affiliation and mailing address should be listed alphabetically in 10pt upper and lower case letters, grouped by affiliation. When there is more than one author, the submitting author's name should be given first, followed by the other names in alphabetical order.
Section Headings
Section headings should use 12pt bold uppercase letters and be centred in the column. They should NOT be numbered.
Widow and Orphan Control: All headings should appear next to the following text - there should never be a column break between a heading and the following paragraph.
Subsection Headings
Subsection headings should use 12pt italic letters, be left aligned and justified in the column. As for section headings, they should NOT be numbered.
Figures and Tables
Place figures and tables as close to the place of their mention as possible. Lettering in figures and tables should be large enough to reproduce clearly, using only the approved fonts. Use of non-approved fonts in figures often leads to problems when the files are processed and may even cause loss of information.
Presentations
Our projection system handles standard format. Please write the conference name and date at least on the first slide of your presentation.
Posters
The poster presentation will take place at ESRF on Thursday 6th October from 15:30 onwards.
A prize will be awarded for the Best Poster submitted. The posters will be judged by all participants and the winner announced on Friday morning.
Important:
- Maximum recommended poster size: 110 cm height x 85 cm wide (or A0 poster format), portrait orientation.
Velcro tabs to hang the posters will be provided by the organisers.
