This guide has been
prepared for authors of abstracts of poster papers to be presented at the ICHMT
International Symposium on Radiative Transfer to be
held in
ABSTRACT PREPARATION
Use only one side
of A4 size (210 ´ 297 mm) or quarto (8 ½ ´ 11 inch) good
quality white bond paper. The text should be single-spaced. If superscripts or subscripts make this a
problem, wider spacing may be necessary.
Leave double spaces between paragraphs.
Begin paragraphs flush at the left margin without indentation. The typing area of all pages should not
exceed 170 x 247 mm, whichever size of paper is used, with equal margins on
left and right. Each page should be
completely filled with typing and/or diagrams (except perhaps the last
page). The total length of an abstract,
including all figures, tables and references if any, should be at least two pages and not more than three pages.
References should
be numbered consecutively in the order they are mentioned1, using
superscripted2-3 Arabic numerals4.
Do not type page
numbers. Lightly write the page number
and the first authors name at the bottom of each page, using a light blue pencil.
Special instructions if using a computer or word
processor
Authors should use
Times or Times New Roman, 12-point character size for the text. A laser printer must be used for preparation
of the manuscript. A dot matrix printer
is not
acceptable. The printer should have a
typeface that features descenders below the
baseline. The text should be left and
right justified.
Layout of the abstract
The layout of the
abstract should follow the style of this document, starting with a title,
name(s) of author(s) and affiliation(s).
The title should appear 32 mm below the top edge of the page. It should be brief, clear and descriptive. Use all bold capital letters (except if
formulae or symbols appear in the title), centered on the width of the typing
area. Leave one blank line after the
title and another after the affiliation(s).
If your abstract is
divided into sections and subsections, please use the format adopted here, in
which first-level headings are in bold capitals, centered on the line, and
second level headings are in bold lower case (initial capital), left aligned.
Authors from
non-English speaking countries are requested to find persons who are competent
in English and familiar with the scientific language who can edit their
abstracts and manuscripts before submission.
As there is no copy editing stage for camera-ready manuscripts, it is
the responsibility of authors to ensure that the presentation of their papers
reaches the same high level as that of the work they describe.
CONCLUSION
All authors of
recent-work poster presentations are expected to send their abstracts, electronically,
for peer-review, to the Co-Chairman, M.P. Mengüç, to
arrive before

email message, to arrive before
