Paper Preparation
The deadline for the upload of contributions to the proceedings is Monday, 21 June 2021
1. Instructions for Paper Preparation
Use of the JACoW templates is strongly suggested— always download the latest template (for Word, Latex and Open Document) Please do not reuse the source file from a paper submitted for a previous conference.
Ensure that the template you download corresponds to the version of software you are using. Do not convert documents across different platforms, MAC <> PC, or across different versions of Microsoft Word on the same platform. Always use the styles contained in the templates. The styles will automatically ensure correct typesetting and layout.
The correct use of the JACoW template will ensure the paper is not returned to the author for revision.
The Editor in Chief reserves the right to refuse paper publications that do not meet a reasonable level of preparation.
2. JACoW "Cat Scan Editor"
Before submission of Word and Latex documents, use JACoW’s Cat Scan Editor to obtain instant feedback on common formatting problems with your submission. With this tool, created by the team at ANSTO in collaboration with JACoW, you can make corrections to your paper before uploading to SPMS.
More information can be found on this help page.
At the discretion of the editorial team, papers with an excess of formatting problems will be returned to the author for revision.
3. JACoW Reference Search and Export
To get citations of JACoW publications correctly formatted every time, use the JACoW search and citation export tool for accelerator conference proceedings, created by the team at ANSTO in collaboration with JACoW. Use this tool for all JACoW conference related citations.
More information can be found in this help page.
4. Non-JACoW References
It is crucial that all bibliographical references are written clearly and consistently across all the conference proceedings so that your papers and those of your colleagues can be easily found.
• Always use the EXACT formatting of references and citations in the templates. Examples and details can be found in the Annex B of the full template or on the JACoW website.
• All bibliographical and web references should be numbered and listed at the end of the paper in a section called References.
• When citing a reference in the text, place the corresponding reference number in square brackets, e.g., [3].
• A URL may be included as part of a reference, but the hyperlink must be removed (in Word use ctrl+k to remove).
At the discretion of the editorial team, papers with badly formatted references will be returned to the author for revision.
