Consecutive Numbering of Parts
All manuscript pages, footnotes, equations, and references should be labeled in consecutive
numerical order. Illustrations and tables should be cited in text in numerical order.
Manuscript Formats
Full length papers generally consist of the title, byline, author affiliation, footnote (including
any financial support acknowledgment), index terms, abstract, nomenclature if present,
introduction, body, conclusions, reference list, list of figures and table captions, and original
figures and tables for reproduction. A paper may also include appendixes, a glossary of symbols,
and an acknowledgment of support of any form.
Abstract
The abstract should be limited to 50-200 words and should concisely state what was done, how it
was done, principal results, and their significance.
References
A numbered list of references must be provided at the end of the paper. The list should be
arranged in the order of citation in text, not in alphabetical order. List only one reference per
reference number. Each reference number should be enclosed by square brackets.
In text, citations of references may be given simply as "[1]". Similarly, it is not necessary to
mention the authors of a reference unless the mention is relevant to the text.
