ABSTRACT. This guide has been prepared for authors of
papers to be presented at the ICHMT International Symposium on Radiative
Transfer to be held in Antalya, Turkey, on June 17 - 22, 2001. It has been written in accordance with these
requirements. Authors are requested to follow these guide-lines to achieve
uniformity in the presentation of the Proceedings.
MANUSCRIPT
PREPARATION
Use only one side
of A4 size (210 ´ 297 mm) or quarto (8½ ´ 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 be 170 x
257 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 a paper, including all figures, tables and references if any,
should be no more than 8 pages for contributed papers and no more than 12 pages
for invited keynote papers.
References should
be numbered consecutively in the order they are mentioned [1], using
Arabic numerals [2,3] in square brackets [4].
Do not type page
numbers. Lightly write the page number
and the first author’s name at the bottom of each page, using a light blue pencil.
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, e.g., g or y. The text should be left and right justified.
Manuscripts must be
typed on the same electric typewriter throughout, using a black carbon ribbon.
Pale gray shades or blue ribbons are unacceptable for photographic reproduction. Authors should use 10-pitch (pica size)
font. Small or italic typefaces for the
complete paper are unsuitable. Please do not make a carbon copy, as this
decreases the reproducibility of the original manuscript.
If you need to
italicize for emphasis or when using non-English words, use underlining to
indicate italics, e.g., in vivo.
Do not underline symbols or variables (such as k for a rate
constant) in formulae, even if they would ordinarily be typeset in italics, as
this would be confusing.
If corrections must
be made, they should be typed on the same machine as used for the rest of the
text. Retype preferably two or three
words (even if you are correcting only one word) for ease in handling. The corrections should be pasted over the
area to be covered, lining up the words carefully with a ruler. Use rubber
cement for pasting; this type of adhesive is suitable since any superfluous gum
can be rubbed off easily: no Scotch
tape please!
NOMENCLATURE
The editors of all
the major heat transfer journals have adopted a common list of symbols. All authors should use these symbols for
papers submitted for this symposium.
Symbols in the list must not
be included in the nomenclature for an individual paper. Only symbols peculiar to an individual paper
should be included in a nomenclature list which should be placed immediately
following the Abstract. The symbol list can be found in the Journal of Heat Transfer, Vol. 121, No.
4, pp. 770-773, November 1999, or at http://mohican.me.utexas.edu/~heatran/geninfo.html#Common
List
The layout of the
paper should follow the style of this document, starting with a title, name(s)
of author(s) and affiliation(s).
Title 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. Authors’ names and affiliations should not
be in bold. Leave one blank line
between the title and the affiliation(s).
Abstract A brief abstract (50 - 150 words) should
appear beneath the affiliation of the author(s). It should give an account of
the most relevant contributions of the paper. It is also important to indicate briefly the goal, the methods,
the results, and conclusions. Avoid
abbreviations, diagrams, and references. It must be complete and understandable
without reference to the text. Leave
four blank lines between the Author’s affiliation and the Abstract. Type the word ABSTRACT
in capitals, beginning at the left hand margin; follow it by a period and two
letter spaces; then begin typing the abstract itself in lower case and single
space in block style. Leave two blank lines between the abstract and the first
major heading.
If your paper 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.
Second level headings
Second level headings should be in bold lower case (initial capital),
left aligned.
Third-level headings. Third-level headings should be placed at the
beginning of a paragraph. Capitalize
only first letter of the whole subhead and underline it (if possible, make the
subhead italic); follow it by a period and two letter spaces; then begin typing
the text on the same line and continue the text without indenting again. Leave
one line space above.
Equations, units, symbols, etc. Equations should be typed neatly in position
with appropriate space above and below to distinguish them from the text. Equations should be either centered or
placed flush left, and assigned a number that should appear in parentheses
flush to the right margin.
Subscripts and
superscripts should clearly be typed as such, and the manuscript should be
reviewed carefully to ensure there is no ambiguity in presentation. Numbers and
letters that are intended to be subscripts or superscripts should not align
with the rest of the text.
Do not use
punctuation at ends of equations. Align
equal signs when equations stack with no intervening words. Greek letters and other symbols should be
typed if possible or neatly drawn in black ink. Drawn lettering must have a professional appearance. You may use rub-on type. All data should be reported in SI
units. Decimals should always be shown
by periods and not by commas or centered dots.
Figures. Care should be
taken to ensure that figures are contained within the typing area. All original
drawings should be prepared, if possible, for a uniform scale of reduction. As
a general rule, lettering in the figures should be comparable to that in the
text.
Black and white
photographs (half-tones) should be supplied as glossy prints; although original
drawings on good quality paper are permitted, glossy prints or their equivalent
are preferred. Photocopies or tear
sheets from published materials are not acceptable. Color photographs will not
be accepted unless the additional printing cost is borne by the author. A
letter acknowledging the willingness to pay for the color prints should be sent
to the editor with the print.
Figures should be
numbered consecutively, e.g. Fig. 1 or Figure 2, with a single letter space
between the word “Figure”
and the Arabic numeral. Place figures centered on the width of the text page
and either at the top or bottom of the page as close as possible to their first
mention in the text. Centered one line below the illustration, type the word “Figure” (in upper and
lower case) and its number followed by a period and two-letter space. Then type
the legend single spaced, with an initial capital for the first word and for
proper nouns only. Example:
Figure 1. The art of typing
Greek legends
Each illustration
should have at least a two-line space above the illustration, a one-line space
between the illustration and the legend, and at least a two-line space between
the legend and the start of the text. All illustrations should be pasted in,
using rubber cement; no Scotch tape, please. Appropriate space should be left
above and below to the figure legend to ensure that the legend does not become
confused with the text.
Tables. Table captions
should appear above the respective
table. Each table should have at least
a two-line space both above the table and between the table and the start of
the following text.
When tables are
mentioned in the text, they should be referred to as Table 1, Table 5, i.e.,
with a single letter space between the word “Table” and the Arabic numeral.
The word “Table” should be
capitalized and centered with the table number above the table. On the next
line, the table caption should be typed single spaced and centered, with the
first letter of all main words in capitals.
Use horizontal rules above and below to separate title from column
heads, ranks within column heads, column heads from table body, and table body
from table footnotes or source. For
example:

Authors should
ensure that a table does not flow from one page to the next page. Tables should
occupy only as much space as is required.
Any material that can not be typed, such as symbols and formulae, should
be inked carefully in black.
Lists. Short lists can
be run into the text as part of a sentence of paragraph; use parentheses around
the numbers and separate items by a comma or semi-colon. For longer lists,
leave a one-line space above and below the list; and two-letter space before
beginning the list item. Runover lines starts below the first word of the item.
Footnotes. Since footnotes
tend to interrupt the natural flow of ideas in manuscript, they should be
limited in number and used to indicate (a) acknowledgement of funding or
sponsorship, or (b) copyright information or credit line if the material has
been published previously. Footnotes
should be identified by symbols: * †
‡. The footnote* should be
separated from the text by a one-line space and a 5 cm overbar. Start each
footnote on a separate line at the left margin, typing the superscript symbol
at the margin and immediately beginning the text of the footnote. Use the same font as in the body of the
text.
KEYWORDS
In a covering letter, please supply six
to eight keywords which apply to your paper.
This will assist in the preparation of an index for the Proceedings.
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
manuscripts before submission.
Reviewers must not be relied upon to make corrections of English
expression, spelling, etc. 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 papers will be
reviewed. Any paper which does not address new and innovative aspects of the
topics of the meeting may not be included in the final Proceedings. In order to
process the reviewing in time, please submit the your manuscript, one original and three copies,
no later than January 20, 2001. Please incorporate all required changes and send
your final manuscript, to the Chairman, in camera-ready form and preferably in
pdf format (or as MS-Word document), either in a diskette or as attachment to
an email message and the copyright release form to
arrive before May 1, 2001.

Each manuscript
must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and
that it has not been simultaneously submitted for publication elsewhere. All
accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the
publisher.
Permission The use of tables,
drawings, diagrams, photographs, 50 words or more prose, more than one line of
a poem, or other material from another source requires written permission to
republish from the copyright holder. The total number of words from any one
source is cumulative throughout a manuscript. When an author plans to revise or
adapt an illustration for his/her own use, it is recommended to obtain
permission. Most US government publications are not copyrighted and thus
considered in the public domain. However, it is also wise to obtain permission
to take material from them as these publications often contain previously
copyrighted material.
It is the
responsibility of the author or editor of the book (or in a contributed book,
the individual authors) to obtain written permission from whoever holds the
copyright, usually a publisher, and also to pay any permission fees. Request
for permission should be solicited as soon as the manuscript has been written,
as the process is often quite slow. Once permission has been obtained, the
correct credit (often the copyright holder stipulates the wording) must be
included in a footnote or within the text, in a source note to a table, or in a
credit line within a figure legend. In a book with extensive quotations from
previously copyrighted works, it is sometimes desirable to include all credit
lines on an expanded Acknowledgements page. Original permission letters must be
forwarded to the publisher with the final manuscript. Production cannot proceed
without them. (A sample form of "Request for Permission" is attached)
Transfer of Copyright for Multi-Authored Works
The 1978 U.S.
Copyright Law vests statutory copyright for each individual article with the
author(s) of the article, or with their employers in the case of a “work made for hire”. As the result,
the publisher must ask contributors – excluding the contracted editor(s) – for
copyright on each article, which must be formally assigned in writing. Articles
cannot be accepted for publication without a signed Transfer of Copyright
Agreement. All original signed forms must be submitted by the editor(s) to the
publisher with the final manuscript.

COPYRIGHT RELEASE
The transfer of copyright from author to publisher must be clearly stated in writing to enable the publisher to assure maximum dissemination of the author's work. Therefore, the following agreement, executed and signed by the author, is required with each manuscript submission.
Transfer of Copyright Agreement
(Must be signed and returned to the Symposium Chairman with the final manuscript)
The chapter entitled ________________________________________________________________________________________________ is herewith submitted
for publication in __________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
It has not been published before and contains no matter that is scandalous, obscene, libelous, or otherwise contrary to law. When the chapter is accepted for publication, I as the author, hereby agree to transfer (for U.S. Government employees: to the extent transferable) to Begell House Inc. all rights under existing copyright laws except for the following, which the author(s) specifically retain(s):
1. The right to make further copies of all or part of the published article for my use in classroom teaching;
2. The right to re-use all or part of this material in a compilation of my own works or in a textbook of which I am the author;
3. The right to make the copies of the published work for internal distribution within the institution which employs me.
I agree that copies under these circumstances will continue to carry the copyright notice which appeared in the original published work. I agree to inform my co-authors, if any, of the above items. This is a work for hire.
I agree to obtain, without expense to the Publisher, written permission to include in the work any copyrighted material for which permission is necessary and to deliver to the Publisher a copy of all these permissions with the accepted chapter.
