Prepare your C# paper in full-si*e format( on &S letter paper

#. Figures and Ta%les
Position figures and tables at the tops and bottoms of
columns" A6oid placing them in the middle of columns" <arge
figures and tables may span across both columns" Figure
captions should be centered below the figuresD table captions
should be centered abo6e" A6oid placing figures and tables
before their first mention in the teBt" &se the abbre6iation 3Fig"

Figure aBis labels are often a source of confusion" &se words
rather than symbols" For eBample( write 3Aagneti*ation(5 or
3Aagneti*ation( A(5 not 4ust 3A"5 Put units in parentheses"
%o not label aBes only with units" In the eBample( write
3Aagneti*ation (AEm5 or 3Aagneti*ation (A m

". References
!umber citations consecuti6ely in s=uare brac>ets H-I"
Punctuation follows the brac>et H:I" #efer simply to the
reference number( as in H1I" &se 3#ef" H1I5 or #eference H1I5 at
the beginning of a sentence/ 3#eference H1I was the first J5
!umber footnotes separately in superscripts" Place the actual
footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited" %o
not put footnotes in the reference list" &se letters for table
footnotes (see Table I" Ki6e all authors) namesD use 3et al"5 if
there are siB authors or more" Papers that ha6e not been
published( e6en if they ha6e been submitted for publication(
should be cited as 3unpublished5 H.I" Papers that ha6e been
accepted for publication should be cited as 3in press5 H2I" In a
paper title( capitali*e the first word and all other words eBcept
for con4unctions( prepositions less than se6en letters( and
prepositional phrases"
For papers published in translated 4ournals( first gi6e the
English citation( then the original foreign-language citation H9I"
&. #%%re'iations and #cronyms
%efine abbre6iations and acronyms the first time they are
used in the teBt( e6en if they ha6e been defined in the abstract"
Abbre6iations such as IEEE( SI( AFS( CKS( sc( dc( and rms do
not ha6e to be defined" %o not use abbre6iations in the title
unless they are una6oidable"
$. E(uations
!umber e=uations consecuti6ely with e=uation numbers in
parentheses flush with the right margin( as in (-" To ma>e your
e=uations more compact( you may use the solidus ( E ( the eBp
function( or appropriate eBponents" Italici*e #oman symbols
for =uantities and 6ariables( but not Kree> symbols" &se an en
dash (L rather than a hyphen for a minus sign" &se parentheses
to a6oid ambiguities in denominators" Punctuate e=uations with
commas or periods when they are part of a sentence( as in
a M % 7 c" (-
Symbols in your e=uation should be defined before the
e=uation appears or immediately following" &se 3(-(5 not 3E="
(-5 or 3e=uation (-(5 eBcept at the beginning of a sentence/
3E=uation (- is J5

The #oman numerals used to number the section headings
are optional" If you do use them( do not number
ACF!$G<E%KAE!T and #EFE#E!CES( and begin Subheadings
with letters" &se two spaces after periods (full stops"

III" &!ITS
&se either SI (AFS or CKS as primary units" (SI units are
encouraged" English units may be used as secondary units (in
parentheses" An eBception would be the use of English units as
identifiers in trade( such as 31"2-inch dis> dri6e"5
A6oid combining SI and CKS units( such as current in
amperes and magnetic field in oersteds" This often leads to
confusion because e=uations do not balance dimensionally" If
you must use miBed units( clearly state the units for each
=uantity that you use in an e=uation"

3principle"5 %o not confuse 3imply5 and 3infer"5 The prefiB
3non5 is not a wordD it should be 4oined to the word it modifies(
usually without a hyphen" There is no period after the 3et5 in
the <atin abbre6iation 3et al"5 The abbre6iation 3i"e"5 means
