\title{Preparing a paper using \LaTeXe\ for publication in \jpcs}
\author{Jacky Mucklow}
\address{Production Editor, \jpcs, \iopp, Dirac House, Temple Back, Bristol BS1~6BE, UK}
\ead{jacky.mucklow@iop.org}
\begin{abstract}
All articles {\it must} contain an abstract. This document describes the preparation of a conference paper to be published in \jpcs\ using \LaTeXe\ and the \cls\ class file. The abstract text should be formatted using 10 point font and indented 25 mm from the left margin. Leave 10 mm space after the abstract before you begin the main text of your article. The text of your article should start on the same page as the abstract. The abstract follows the addresses and should give readers concise information about the content of the article and indicate the main results obtained and conclusions drawn. As the abstract is not part of the text it should be complete in itself; no table numbers, figure numbers, references or displayed mathematical expressions should be included. It should be suitable for direct inclusion in abstracting services and should not normally exceed 200 words. The abstract should generally be restricted to a single paragraph. Since contemporary information-retrieval systems rely heavily on the content of titles and abstracts to identify relevant articles in literature searches, great care should be taken in constructing both.
\end{abstract}
\section{Introduction}
These guidelines show how to prepare articles for publication in \jpcs\ using \LaTeX\ so they can be published quickly and accurately. Articles will be refereed by the \corg s but the accepted PDF will be published with no editing, proofreading or changes to layout. It is, therefore, the author's responsibility to ensure that the content and layout are correct. This document has been prepared using \cls\ so serves as a sample document. The class file and accompanying documentation are available from \verb"http://jpcs.iop.org".
\section{Preparing your paper}
\verb"jpconf" requires \LaTeXe\ and can be used with other package files such
as those loading the AMS extension fonts
\verb"msam" and \verb"msbm" (these fonts provide the
blackboard bold alphabet and various extra maths symbols as well as
symbols useful in figure captions); an extra style file \verb"iopams.sty" is
provided to load these packages and provide extra definitions for bold Greek letters.
\subsection{Headers, footers and page numbers}
Authors should {\it not} add headers, footers or page numbers to the pages of their article---they will
be added by \iopp\ as part of the production process.
\subsection{{\cls\ }package options}
The \cls\ class file has two options `a4paper' and `letterpaper':
\begin{verbatim}
\documentclass[a4paper]{jpconf}
\end{verbatim}
or \begin{verbatim}
\documentclass[letterpaper]{jpconf}
\end{verbatim}
\begin{center}
\begin{table}[h]
\caption{\label{opt}\cls\ class file options.}
%\footnotesize\rm
\centering
\begin{tabular}{@{}*{7}{l}}
\br
Option&Description\\
\mr
\verb"a4paper"&Set the paper size and margins for A4 paper.\\
\verb"letterpaper"&Set the paper size and margins for US letter paper.\\
\br
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{center}
The default paper size is A4 (i.e., the default option is {\tt a4paper}) but this can be changed to Letter by
using \verb"\documentclass[letterpaper]{jpconf}". It is essential that you do not put macros into the text which alter the page dimensions.
\section{The title, authors, addresses and abstract}
The code for setting the title page information is slightly different from
the normal default in \LaTeX\ but please follow these instructions as carefully as possible so all articles within a conference have the same style to the title page.
The title is set in bold unjustified type using the command
\verb"\title{#1}", where \verb"#1" is the title of the article. The
first letter of the title should be capitalized with the rest in lower case.
The next information required is the list of all authors' names followed by
the affiliations. For the authors' names type \verb"\author{#1}",
where \verb"#1" is the
list of all authors' names. The style for the names is initials then
surname, with a comma after all but the last
two names, which are separated by `and'. Initials should {\it not} have
full stops. First names may be used if desired. The command \verb"\maketitle" is not
required.
The addresses of the authors' affiliations follow the list of authors.
Each address should be set by using
\verb"\address{#1}" with the address as the single parameter in braces.
If there is more
than one address then a superscripted number, followed by a space, should come at the start of
each address. In this case each author should also have a superscripted number or numbers following their name to indicate which address is the appropriate one for them.
Please also provide e-mail addresses for any or all of the authors using an \verb"\ead{#1}" command after the last address. \verb"\ead{#1}" provides the text Email: so \verb"#1" is just the e-mail address or a list of emails.
The abstract follows the addresses and
should give readers concise information about the content
of the article and should not normally exceed 200
words. {\bf All articles must include an abstract}. To indicate the start
of the abstract type \verb"\begin{abstract}" followed by the text of the
abstract. The abstract should normally be restricted
to a single paragraph and is terminated by the command
\verb"\end{abstract}"
\subsection{Sample coding for the start of an article}
\label{startsample}
The code for the start of a title page of a typical paper might read:
\begin{verbatim}
\title{The anomalous magnetic moment of the
neutrino and its relation to the solar neutrino problem}
\author{P J Smith$^1$, T M Collins$^2$,
R J Jones$^{3,}$\footnote[4]{Present address:
Department of Physics, University of Bristol, Tyndalls Park Road,
Bristol BS8 1TS, UK.} and Janet Williams$^3$}
\address{$^1$ Mathematics Faculty, Open University,
Milton Keynes MK7~6AA, UK}
\address{$^2$ Department of Mathematics,
Imperial College, Prince Consort Road, London SW7~2BZ, UK}
\address{$^3$ Department of Computer Science,
University College London, Gower Street, London WC1E~6BT, UK}
\ead{williams@ucl.ac.uk}
\begin{abstract}
The abstract appears here.
\end{abstract}
\end{verbatim}
\section{The text}
The text of the article should should be produced using standard \LaTeX\ formatting. Articles may be divided into sections and subsections, but the length limit provided by the \corg\ should be adhered to.
\subsection{Acknowledgments}
Authors wishing to acknowledge assistance or encouragement from
colleagues, special work by technical staff or financial support from
organizations should do so in an unnumbered Acknowledgments section
immediately following the last numbered section of the paper. The
command \verb"\ack" sets the acknowledgments heading as an unnumbered
section.
\subsection{Appendices}
Technical detail that it is necessary to include, but that interrupts
the flow of the article, may be consigned to an appendix.
Any appendices should be included at the end of the main text of the paper, after the acknowledgments section (if any) but before the reference list.
If there are two or more appendices they will be called Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.
Numbered equations will be in the form (A.1), (A.2), etc,
figures will appear as figure A1, figure B1, etc and tables as table A1,
table B1, etc.
The command \verb"\appendix" is used to signify the start of the
appendixes. Thereafter \verb"\section", \verb"\subsection", etc, will
give headings appropriate for an appendix. To obtain a simple heading of
`Appendix' use the code \verb"\section*{Appendix}". If it contains
numbered equations, figures or tables the command \verb"\appendix" should
precede it and \verb"\setcounter{section}{1}" must follow it.
\section{References}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
In the online version of \jpcs\ references will be linked to their original source or to the article within a secondary service such as INSPEC or ChemPort wherever possible. To facilitate this linking extra care should be taken when preparing reference lists.
Two different styles of referencing are in common use: the Harvard alphabetical system and the Vancouver numerical system. For \jpcs, the Vancouver numerical system is preferred but authors should use the Harvard alphabetical system if they wish to do so. In the numerical system references are numbered sequentially throughout the text within square brackets, like this [2], and one number can be used to designate several references.
\subsection{Using \BibTeX}
We highly recommend the {\ttfamily\textbf\selectfont iopart-num} \BibTeX\ package by Mark~A~Caprio \cite{iopartnum}, which is included with this documentation.
\subsection{Reference lists}
A complete reference should provide the reader with enough information to locate the article concerned, whether published in print or electronic form, and should, depending on the type of reference, consist of:
\begin{itemize}
\item name(s) and initials;
\item date published;
\item title of journal, book or other publication;
\item titles of journal articles may also be included (optional);
\item volume number;
\item editors, if any;
\item town of publication and publisher in parentheses for {\it books};
\item the page numbers.
\end{itemize}
Up to ten authors may be given in a particular reference; where
there are more than ten only the first should be given followed by
`{\it et al}'. If an author is unsure of a particular journal's abbreviated title it is best to leave the title in
full. The terms {\it loc.\ cit.\ }and {\it ibid.\ }should not be used.
Unpublished conferences and reports should generally not be included
in the reference list and articles in the course of publication should
be entered only if the journal of publication is known.
A thesis submitted for a higher degree may be included
in the reference list if it has not been superseded by a published
paper and is available through a library; sufficient information
should be given for it to be traced readily.
\subsection{Formatting reference lists}
Numeric reference lists should contain the references within an unnumbered section (such as \verb"\section*{References}"). The
reference list itself is started by the code
\verb"\begin{thebibliography}{<num>}", where \verb"<num>" is the largest
number in the reference list and is completed by
\verb"\end{thebibliography}".
Each reference starts with \verb"\bibitem{<label>}", where `label' is the label used for cross-referencing. Each \verb"\bibitem" should only contain a reference to a single article (or a single article and a preprint reference to the same article). When one number actually covers a group of two or more references to different articles, \verb"\nonum"
should replace \verb"\bibitem{<label>}" at
the start of each reference in the group after the first.
For an alphabetic reference list use \verb"\begin{thereferences}" ... \verb"\end{thereferences}" instead of the
`thebibliography' environment and each reference can be start with just \verb"\item" instead of \verb"\bibitem{label}"
as cross referencing is less useful for alphabetic references.
\subsection {References to printed journal articles}
A normal reference to a journal article contains three changes of font (see table \ref{jfonts}) and is constructed as follows:
\begin{itemize}
\item the authors should be in the form surname (with only the first letter capitalized) followed by the initials with no periods after the initials. Authors should be separated by a comma except for the last two which should be separated by `and' with no comma preceding it;
\item the article title (if given) should be in lower case letters, except for an initial capital, and should follow the date;
\item the journal title is in italic and is abbreviated. If a journal has several parts denoted by different letters the part letter should be inserted after the journal in Roman type, e.g. {\it Phys. Rev.} A;
\item the volume number should be in bold type;
\item both the initial and final page numbers should be given where possible. The final page number should be in the shortest possible form and separated from the initial page number by an en rule `-- ', e.g. 1203--14, i.e. the numbers `12' are not repeated.
\end{itemize}
A typical (numerical) reference list might begin

\end{table}
\end{center}
\subsection{References to \jpcs\ articles}
Each conference proceeding published in \jpcs\ will be a separate {\it volume};
references should follow the style for conventional printed journals. For example:\vspace{6pt}
\numrefs{1}
\item Douglas G 2004 \textit{J. Phys.: Conf. Series} \textbf{1} 23--36
\endnumrefs
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\subsection{References to preprints}
For preprints there are two distinct cases:
\renewcommand{\theenumi}{\arabic{enumi}}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Where the article has been published in a journal and the preprint is supplementary reference information. In this case it should be presented as:
\medskip
\numrefs{1}
\item Kunze K 2003 T-duality and Penrose limits of spatially homogeneous and inhomogeneous cosmologies {\it Phys. Rev.} D {\bf 68} 063517 ({\it Preprint} gr-qc/0303038)
\endnumrefs
\item Where the only reference available is the preprint. In this case it should be presented as
\medskip
\numrefs{1}
\item Milson R, Coley A, Pravda V and Pravdova A 2004 Alignment and algebraically special tensors {\it Preprint} gr-qc/0401010
\endnumrefs
\end{enumerate}
\subsection{References to electronic-only journals}
In general article numbers are given, and no page ranges, as most electronic-only journals start each article on page 1.
\begin{itemize}
\item For {\it New Journal of Physics} (article number may have from one to three digits)
\numrefs{1}
\item Fischer R 2004 Bayesian group analysis of plasma-enhanced chemical vapour deposition data {\it New. J. Phys.} {\bf 6} 25
\endnumrefs
\item For SISSA journals the volume is divided into monthly issues and these form part of the article number
\numrefs{2}
\item Horowitz G T and Maldacena J 2004 The black hole final state {\it J. High Energy Phys.} JHEP02(2004)008
\item Bentivegna E, Bonanno A and Reuter M 2004 Confronting the IR fixed point cosmology with high-redshift observations {\it J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys.} JCAP01(2004)001
\endnumrefs
\end{itemize}
\subsection{References to books, conference proceedings and reports}
References to books, proceedings and reports are similar to journal references, but have
only two changes of font (see table~\ref{book}).
\begin{table}
\centering
\caption{\label{book}Font styles for references to books, conference proceedings and reports.}
\begin{tabular}{@{}l*{15}{l}}
\br

Editors&Roman type\\
Place (city, town etc) of publication&Roman type\\
Publisher&Roman type\\
Volume&Roman type\\
Page numbers&Roman type\\
\br
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
Points to note are:
\medskip
\begin{itemize}
\item Book titles are in italic and should be spelt out in full with initial capital letters for all except minor words. Words such as Proceedings, Symposium, International, Conference, Second, etc should be abbreviated to {\it Proc.}, {\it Symp.}, {\it Int.}, {\it Conf.}, {\it 2nd}, respectively, but the rest of the title should be given in full, followed by the date of the conference and the town or city where the conference was held. For Laboratory Reports the Laboratory should be spelt out wherever possible, e.g. {\it Argonne National Laboratory Report}.
\item The volume number, for example vol 2, should be followed by the editors, if any, in a form such as `ed A J Smith and P R Jones'. Use {\it et al} if there are more than two editors. Next comes the town of publication and publisher, within brackets and separated by a colon, and finally the page numbers preceded by p if only one number is given or pp if both the initial and final numbers are given.
\end{itemize}

\section{Tables and table captions}
Tables should be numbered serially and referred to in the text
by number (table 1, etc, {\bf rather than} tab. 1). Each table should be a float and be positioned within the text at the most convenient place near to where it is first mentioned in the text. It should have an
explanatory caption which should be as concise as possible.
\subsection{The basic table format}
The standard form for a table is:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{table}
\caption{\label{label}Table caption.}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{llll}
\br
Head 1&Head 2&Head 3&Head 4\\
\mr
1.1&1.2&1.3&1.4\\
2.1&2.2&2.3&2.4\\
\br
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
\end{verbatim}
The above code produces table~\ref{ex}.
\begin{table}[h]
\caption{\label{ex}Table caption.}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{llll}
\br
Head 1&Head 2&Head 3&Head 4\\
\mr
1.1&1.2&1.3&1.4\\
2.1&2.2&2.3&2.4\\
\br
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Points to note are:
\medskip
\begin{enumerate}
\item The caption comes before the table.
\item The normal style is for tables to be centred in the same way as
equations. This is accomplished
by using \verb"\begin{center}" \dots\ \verb"\end{center}".
\item The default alignment of columns should be aligned left.
\item Tables should have only horizontal rules and no vertical ones. The rules at
the top and bottom are thicker than internal rules and are set with
\verb"\br" (bold rule).
The rule separating the headings from the entries is set with
\verb"\mr" (medium rule). These commands do not need a following double backslash.
\item Numbers in columns should be aligned as appropriate, usually on the decimal point;
to help do this a control sequence \verb"\lineup" has been defined
which sets \verb"\0" equal to a space the size of a digit, \verb"\m"
to be a space the width of a minus sign, and \verb"\-" to be a left
overlapping minus sign. \verb"\-" is for use in text mode while the other
two commands may be used in maths or text.
(\verb"\lineup" should only be used within a table
environment after the caption so that \verb"\-" has its normal meaning
elsewhere.) See table~\ref{tabone} for an example of a table where
\verb"\lineup" has been used.
\end{enumerate}
\begin{table}[h]
\caption{\label{tabone}A simple example produced using the standard table commands
and $\backslash${\tt lineup} to assist in aligning columns on the
decimal point. The width of the
table and rules is set automatically by the
preamble.}
\begin{center}
\lineup
\begin{tabular}{*{7}{l}}
\br
$\0\0A$&$B$&$C$&\m$D$&\m$E$&$F$&$\0G$\cr
\mr
\0\023.5&60 &0.53&$-20.2$&$-0.22$ &\01.7&\014.5\cr
\0\039.7&\-60&0.74&$-51.9$&$-0.208$&47.2 &146\cr
\0123.7 &\00 &0.75&$-57.2$&\m--- &--- &---\cr
3241.56 &60 &0.60&$-48.1$&$-0.29$ &41 &\015\cr
\br
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
\section{Figures and figure captions}
Figures must be included in the source code of an article at the appropriate place in the text not grouped together at the end.
Each figure should have a brief caption describing it and, if
necessary, interpreting the various lines and symbols on the figure.
As much lettering as possible should be removed from the figure itself and
included in the caption. If a figure has parts, these should be
labelled ($a$), ($b$), ($c$), etc.
\Tref{blobs} gives the definitions for describing symbols and lines often
used within figure captions (more symbols are available
when using the optional packages loading the AMS extension fonts).
\begin{table}[h]
\caption{\label{blobs}Control sequences to describe lines and symbols in figure
captions.}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{lllll}
\br
Control sequence&Output&&Control sequence&Output\\
\mr
\verb"\dotted"&\dotted &&\verb"\opencircle"&\opencircle\\
\verb"\dashed"&\dashed &&\verb"\opentriangle"&\opentriangle\\
\verb"\broken"&\broken&&\verb"\opentriangledown"&\opentriangledown\\
\verb"\longbroken"&\longbroken&&\verb"\fullsquare"&\fullsquare\\
\verb"\chain"&\chain &&\verb"\opensquare"&\opensquare\\
\verb"\dashddot"&\dashddot &&\verb"\fullcircle"&\fullcircle\\
\verb"\full"&\full &&\verb"\opendiamond"&\opendiamond\\
\br
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Authors should try and use the space allocated to them as economically as possible. At times it may be convenient to put two figures side by side or the caption at the side of a figure. To put figures side by side, within a figure environment, put each figure and its caption into a minipage with an appropriate width (e.g. 3in or 18pc if the figures are of equal size) and then separate the figures slightly by adding some horizontal space between the two minipages (e.g. \verb"\hspace{.2in}" or \verb"\hspace{1.5pc}". To get the caption at the side of the figure add the small horizontal space after the \verb"\includegraphics" command and then put the \verb"\caption" within a minipage of the appropriate width aligned bottom, i.e. \verb"\begin{minipage}[b]{3in}" etc (see code in this file used to generate figures 1--3).
Note that it may be necessary to adjust the size of the figures (using optional arguments to \verb"\includegraphics", for instance \verb"[width=3in]") to get you article to fit within your page allowance or to obtain good page breaks.
\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{minipage}{14pc}
\includegraphics[width=14pc]{name.eps}
\caption{\label{label}Figure caption for first of two sided figures.}
\end{minipage}\hspace{2pc}%
\begin{minipage}{14pc}
\includegraphics[width=14pc]{name.eps}
\caption{\label{label}Figure caption for second of two sided figures.}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[h]
\includegraphics[width=14pc]{name.eps}\hspace{2pc}%
\begin{minipage}[b]{14pc}\caption{\label{label}Figure caption for a narrow figure where the caption is put at the side of the figure.}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}
Using the graphicx package figures can be included using code such as:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{file.eps}
\end{center}
\caption{\label{label}Figure caption}
\end{figure}
\end{verbatim}
