STYLE
Maximum Length
| Full Papers: |
6 pages |
| Short Papers: |
2 pages |
| Panels: |
1 page per panelist |
| Posters/Demos: |
150 words |
Text Area - 16 x 23 cm or 6 1/2 x 9 inches
Begin the Text Area 1" or 2.5 cm from top of the
page. Use only a one-column layout. Set your margins so that they precisely match the text
area specified.
STRUCTURE
The title of a paper consists of the title itself,
capitalized (all words except for short connectives should start with a capital letter),
unnumbered and centered between the margins. Use a serif typeface (e.g. Times), 14 point,
bold font for the title. Do not capitalize every letter of the title.
Leave 2 blank lines after title and then give the name
and affiliation of each author including department, institution, country, and email
address centered between margins. Multiple authors should be delimited by a single blank
line. Use a serif typeface (e.g. Times), 10 point. Leave at least three blank lines after
the last author. Please do not put any acknowledgements or thanks here, but place them in
the optional Acknowledgement section at the end of the document.
Abstracts should be 75-150 words in length. Indent 2 cm
or 3/4" from left and right margins for abstract. Skip 2 lines before and after
abstract. Start the abstract with the sequence "Abstract:" (without the quotes)
in 9 point bold-face without a line break after "Abstract:".
For Full Papers, Short
Papers and Panels:
Include the abstract in your paper.
For Poster /
Demonstration Papers:
Your paper is the abstract.
Literature References
Start the literature references with the single
numbered first level header "References" (see Headings below for a detailed
description of the first level header format).
This is an optional section. Acknowledgements or
appreciation to individuals for assistance with the manuscript or with the material
reported should be included and appear at the end of the article after References.
Financial support for work reported or a grant under which a study was made should be
noted in the Acknowledgements. Start the acknowledgements section with the sequence
"Acknowledgements" in 10 point bold-face, left justified, followed by a single
blank line.
TYPEFACE AND SIZE
Use a typeface with serifs for all levels of headings.
It is recommended to use Times or a similar typeface. Leave sufficient place for the title
to stand out clearly. Leave 2 lines blank above and 1 line below the headings. If a
heading is directly followed by a lower level heading the 2 blank lines before the lower
level heading should be omitted. All headings should be capitalized (i.e. all words except
for short connectives should have a capital initial). The title should be centered between
the margins, all lower level headings should be left-justified.
Font sizes, numbering and styles for the different
types of headings:
Title: centered, 14 point, bold
1st-level heading: left-justified, 12 point, bold
2nd-level heading: left-justified, 10 point, bold
3rd-level heading: left-justified, 10 point, bold, italic
Use a typeface with serifs for running text. It is
recommended to use Times or a similar typeface. Use 10-point type size and one line
spacing for normal text and 9-point type size for small text (abstract, literature
references and acknowledgements). Use italic print to emphasize words. Note: bold type and
underlining should be avoided. The text should always be justified to occupy the full line
width, so that the right margin is not ragged. All text should be single-spaced.
Computer Programs
For Computer programs both sans-serif and serif
typefaces are allowed. Use 10-point type size and one line spacing.
SPECIAL FORMATS
Citations
Insert the sequence "[Name year]" (without
the quotes) into the running text for a citation to a literature reference. Name is the
second name of the author and year is the year of printing. Also a citation to several
authors is allowed. In this case the single authors must be delimited either by commas or
the word "&". The phrase "et al." is also valid. The year can
either be written in short form or in long form (i.e. 92 and 1992 are both valid entries)
is a possible lower case literal, if you refer to more than one article of an author of
the same year. The word "see" and the brackets around the year are optional.
Examples:
... this special form [see Wonko & Tsio 1994b] is very...
... as described in [Wonko 94a]...
... and this algorithm [Tsio et al. 1994c] is used...
Insert the sequence "[ Fig. n]" (without the
quotes) into the running text to refer to a Figure contained in the current document.
Insert the sequence "[ Tab. n]" (without the
quotes) into the running text for a markup to a table contained in the current document.
When placing a citation to a section of the actual
document, refer to the section name by using the special sequence [ SectionName].
Examples:
... we will discuss this later in [Theory].
... see [Theory] for further details on...
For a reference to a footnote, use the form [n], where
n is the unique number of the footnote [see Footnotes]. Please note that footnotes should
only be used when unavoidable.
Use the following APA style when referencing a book or
journal article making sure to precede the reference with the bracketed information
described above:
- Book references:
O'Shea, T., & Self, J.A. (1983). Learning and teaching with computers. Englewood
Cliffs, NJ: Prentice-Hall Inc.
- Proceedings references:
Tsio, F. (1994). Hypermedia Systems in the Future. Educational Multimedia and
Hypermedia, 1994, Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education,
Charlottesville, VA. 115-123.
- Journal references:
Beasley, R.E., & Vila, J.A. (1992). The identification of navigation patterns in a
multimedia environment: A case study. Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia,
1 (2), 209-222.
Center figures and tables between the margins with one
blank line above and below each. Insert the text "Figure n: description" or
"Table n: description" (without the quotes) in 10 point font after the
figure/table (n is a unique number that identifies the figure/table; description is a
short description about its contents. "Figure n: and Table n:" should be in
bold). Please use an expressive description for your figures to allow finding them in a
keyword search.
Footnotes
Separate footnotes from the preceding main text by a
line from the left to the center of the page. Start the footnote with the sequence
"[n]", where n is the unique number of that footnote (unique means that this
number can only appear once on a page, not throughout the whole document). Use a 9 point
font for footnote text.
Example:
