Final Manuscripts are to be submitted in Word document format only (i.e. .doc or .docx). Notice that the publisher will not accept password protected or "read-only" word document files.

Please follow the steps below:

1. Create your manuscript EXACTLY as specified in the sample paper provided. The title, author names, affiliations, etc. should strictly follow the format. Please don't use titles (Dr. Prof. etc. ) in front of names and also avoid using positions (Asst. Professor, Lecturer, etc.) The title should be in normal fonts (not upper case).
   
   
2. Proofread and check layout of paper. Please complete your camera ready paper as shown in the sample, final manuscript should appear something like this: ** Sample paper , Paper template .

The (seemingly) blank Word doc contains the styles you’ll need to format your article for inclusion in the published conference book chapters, with margins appropriate for the trim size of the publication. [Non-U.S. authors, please set your page size to 8.5x11 (Page Layout tab on your toolbar, Size ->Letter). This will ensure your text depth is not greater than 7.5 in. (190 mm).]

Copy your text from another Word doc or type text into the blank Word doc. (You may also overwrite the sample chapter if you prefer; if you choose this option, be sure to deleted the text identifiers in the left margin.)  Once you have inserted all text into the template, open your Styles menu (Home tab in Word 2007; Format tab [Styles & Formatting] in Word 2003). This will give you a display of all available styles in this Word doc. You will need to select each element of text and apply the appropriate tag to format your document in accordance with the publication specifications: “If you choose this option, be sure to delete the text identifiers in the left margin.”

• Chap_title
• Chap_author
• Chap_affil
• Heading 1
• Heading 2

• TB – table
• FC – figure caption
• Refs – reference list

To tag, simply place your cursor with a paragraph or heading and click on the appropriate tag in the styles box.

Additional Notes

• Numbered heads are to be used. (Because you will not know chapter number upon submission, your first heading will simply be “1”.)
• Harvard references (unnumbered, alphabetized) are required. The sample chapter provides examples of how to format several types of sources.
• Please do not use footnotes.
• For listings, in Home tab select bullets or numbers icon.
• Tables should be formatted using MS Word’s table editor (on the Insert tab, select Tables).
• To insert graphics, use Insert tab then select Picture, or drag and drop.
• Because chapter numbers won’t be determined at time of submission, please use “Chapter XX”
