Instructions for Authors

Electronic submission

CFD2005 will issue proceedings in a CD-ROM format. Authors are requested to submit a camera-ready copy of their manuscript in electronic format to Vice Chair for Paper and Publication (CFD2005@engr.mun.ca) on or before June 15, 2005. Papers received after this date may arrive too late to appear in the conference proceedings. Please use the file name for your paper as described in your letter of acceptance. Also indicate your file name in your email subject line. The paper itself should be sent in PostScript or PDF file format, NOT as a LaTeX file or a Word document.

As the conference has a no-paper = no-podium policy, you will not be allowed to make a presentation at the conference if your paper is not available for the proceedings.

Copyright form

In addition to your paper, we must have a hard copy of the copyright clearance form before we can include your paper in the proceedings. The form can be downloaded from our conference website. Please return this form, signed, to the conference secretariat on or before June 15, 2005 so that we can assemble the proceedings in a timely manner.

Paper Format for CFD2005

Papers may be submitted in either English or French and should be of no more than eight pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references. To ensure uniform appearance for all papers in the proceedings, download manuscript templates from www.cfd2005.org/manuscripts_e.html, or click the following individual lines:

• Sample layout in portable document format (.pdf)
• MS-Word format (.doc)
• Template Latex (.tex) format
• Template Latex style file (.cls)

Use of these templates in formatting papers is highly recommended, as papers which are formatted incorrectly may be returned to the authors for format correction.

All papers should use a 10 point serifed font through-out, preferably Times Roman or a close variant. Margins should be 1.25 inches (32 mm, 90 pt) on the left and 1 inch (25 mm, 72 pt) on the right, top, and bottom, with a page size of 8.5 inches by 11 inches (US letter). Papers should be set in two-column format, except for the title and author information; the space between columns should be 0.25 inches (6 mm, 18 pt). Paragraphs should be unindented, with a 6 pt vertical spacing between paragraphs.

Title, Author Information, Etc.

All items in the title block should be centered across both columns. The title should be set in 17 pt bold, with a 24 pt space above and a 14 pt space below. The author's names should be set in 12 pt font, with a 12 pt space below.

For each author, a numbered superscript should be used to indicate institutional affiliation and a symbol footnote mark to refer to author support information (to be included as footnotes at the bottom of the page.

Following the author information, each institution with which any of the authors are affiliated such be listed, including addresses. These should be indicated by superscripts as well, and set in 10 pt italic, with a 12 pt space below the final one.

The final item in the title block is author email addresses. This line should begin with the word "Email:" in 10 pt font, followed by the corresponding author's email in 10 pt italics. A 12 pt space should follow this line.

Abstract

An abstract of 200-250 words in the language of the paper should be included in the paper. The abstract should be formatted as an unnumbered section at the beginning of the two-column part of the paper.

Section and Subsection Headings

For those using LaTeX, the only difference between the standard article section formatting commands is that section headings are typeset in 12 pt, boldface, small caps, and centered on the line; numbering is as normal. For those formatting by hand, section and subsection headings are numbered using Arabic numerals separated by `.' Sections are typeset as described above. Subsections (heading 2, in Word) are 12 pt, boldface, and flush left. Sub-subsections (heading 3, in Word) are 10 pt, boldface, and flush left. All levels below this are unnumbered, 10 pt, boldface, with text beginning immediately following the heading on the same line.

Tables and Figures

Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively, with captions below the table or figure. Captions should be 10 pt, and centered. Two-column-wide figures and tables may be used as appropriate. Individual numbering of subfigures (using lower-case letters) is also encouraged where appropriate.

Page numbering

The conference proceeding will be numbered as an entire book. Therefore, no page numbers should show in your manuscripts.

References

References should be cited in the text by a number in square brackets. Literature cited should be styled and punctuated using standard abbreviations for journals (see Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index, 1989). For unpublished lectures of symposia, include title of paper, name of sponsoring society in full, and date. Give titles of unpublished reports with "(unpublished)" following the reference. Only articles that have been published or are in press should be included in the references. Unpublished results or personal communications should be cited as such in the text.
