AbstractThese instructions give you basic guidelines for

preparing camera-ready papers for JCM. Use this document as a
template if you are using MS WORD 2003. Otherwise, use this
document as an instruction set. It is favorable to compose an
ABSTRACT about 10~20 lines. An ABSTRACT is suggested a)
providing a clearly defined statement of the problem being
addressed, b) stating why it is important to solve the problem,
and c) giving authors original and significant contributions to
the problem.

INTRODUCTION
Your goal is to simulate the usual appearance of papers

in a Journal of the Engineering and Technology
Publishing. We are requesting that you follow these
guidelines as closely as possible.
A. Full-Sized Camera-Ready (CR) Copy
Paper size: prepare your CR paper in full-size format,
on A4 paper (210 x 297 mm, 8.2711.69 in).
Margins: top = 30mm (1.18 in), bottom, left and right
= 20 mm (0.79 in).
Type sizes and typefaces: Follow the type sizes
specified in Table I. As an aid in gauging type size, 1
point is about 0.35 mm. The size of the lowercase letter
j will give the point size. Times New Roman has to be
the font for main text. Paper should be single spaced.
Column width: 82mm (3.23 in). The space between the
two columns is 6mm (0.24 in).
Paragraph indentation: first-line 3.7 mm (0.15 in). For
Abstract and Index Terms, no first-line indentation.
Alignment: left- and right-justify your columns. Use
tables and figures to adjust column length. On the last
page of your paper, adjust the lengths of the columns so
that they are equal. Use automatic hyphenation and check
spelling. Digitize or paste down figures.
Title: use 24-point Times New Roman font. Its
paragraph description should be set so that the line
spacing is single with 6-point spacing before and 6-point
spacing after. Use three additional line spacings of 10
points before the beginning of the double column section,
as shown above.

Section headings: each major section begins with a

Heading in 10 point Times New Roman font centered
within the column and numbered using Roman numerals
(except for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and REFERENCES),
followed by a period, two spaces, and the title using an
initial capital letter for each word. The remaining letters
are in SMALL CAPITALS (8 point). The paragraph
description of the section heading line should be set for
12 points before and 6 points after.
Subheadings: should be 10 point, italic, left justified,
and numbered with letters (A, B, ), followed by a
period, two spaces, and the title using an initial capital
letter for each word. The paragraph description of the
subheading line should be set for 6 points before and 3
points after.
B. PDF Creation
The PDF document should be sent as an open file, i.e.
without any data protection.
Please do not use the Adobe Acrobat PDFWriter to
generate the PDF file. Use the Adobe Acrobat Distiller
instead, which is contained in the same package as the
Acrobat PDFWriter.
Make sure that you have used Type 1 or True Type
Fonts (check with the Acrobat Reader or Acrobat Writer
by clicking on File>Document Properties>Fonts to see
the list of fonts and their type used in the PDF document).

Dates of manuscript submission, revision and

acceptance should be included in the first page footnote.
Remove the first page footnote if you dont have any
information there.
D. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they
are used in the text, even after they have been defined in
the abstract. Do not use abbreviations in the title unless
they are unavoidable.
Fig. 1. Note how the caption is centered in the column.
II. HELPFUL HINTS

A. Figures and Tables
Position figures and tables at the tops and bottoms of
columns. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns.
Large figures and tables may span across both columns.
Figure captions should be centered below the figures;
table captions should be centered above. Avoid placing
figures and tables before their first mention in the text.
Use the abbreviation Fig. 1, even at the beginning of a
sentence.
To figure axis labels, use words rather than symbols.
Do not label axes only with units. Do not label axes with
a ratio of quantities and units. Figure labels should be
legible, about 9-point type.
Color figures will be appearing only in online
publication. All figures will be black and white graphs in
print publication.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1].
No punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Use Ref. [3] or
Reference [3] at the beginning of a sentence:
Give all authors names; use et al. if there are six
authors or more. Papers that have not been published,
even if they have been submitted for publication, should
be cited as unpublished [4]. Papers that have been
accepted for publication should be cited as in press [5].
In a paper title, capitalize the first word and all other
words except for conjunctions, prepositions less than
seven letters, and prepositional phrases.
For papers published in translated journals, first give
the English citation, then the original foreign-language
citation [6].
For on-line references a URL and time accessed must
be given.
At the end of each reference, give the DOI (Digital
Object Identifier) number as long as available, in the
format as doi:10.1518/hfes.2006.27224
C. Footnotes
Number footnotes separately in superscripts 1, 2, .
Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in
which it was cited, as in this column. See first page
footnote for an example.
E. Equations
Equations should be centered in the column. The
paragraph description of the line containing the equation
should be set for 6 points before and 6 points after.
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers
in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1).
Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and variables, but
not Greek symbols. Punctuate equations with commas or
periods when they are part of a sentence, as in
a bc.
(1)
Symbols in your equation should be defined before the

equation appears or immediately following. Use (1),
not Eq. (1) or equation (1), except at the beginning of
a sentence: Equation (1) is ...
F. Other Recommendations
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI
units are encouraged.) If your native language is not
English, try to get a native English-speaking colleague to
proofread your paper. Do not add page numbers.
G. A Quick Checklist
Paper
size=A4;
Margins:
top=3cm,
bottom=left=right=2cm; Column spacing=0.6cm
For the whole document (Ctrl-A to select the whole
document), Font Type=Times New Roman, do NOT
use any Asian font type like SimSun in formulas,
section numbers (III, IV, V, ...), list numbers (1), 2),
(1), (2), ...), or punctuation marks (,, ., :, ;,
(, ), ...). Check Word Count (on the status bar at
the bottom of the window) to ensure the number of
Asian Characters (including textboxes and footnotes)
is 0
In Paragraph settings for the whole document ( CtrlA to select the whole document), Line spacing must
be "Single", "Snap to grid" must NOT be checked.
In Paragraph settings for main text except section
titles, Indentation left=right=0, first line=0.37cm;
Spacing before=after=0, not blank line between
paragraphs
Title and authors: font style=regular NOT bold NOT
italic; font size for title is 24 with 6 spacing before &
after, for authors names font size is 11, affiliations
font size is 10
References: strictly follow the instructions in Section
II. B.
