3.5 References and Citations
Footnotes should be Times New Roman 9-point, and justified to
the full width of the column.
Use the “ACM Reference format” for references – that is, a
numbered list at the end of the article, ordered alphabetically
and formatted accordingly. See examples of some typical
reference types, in the new “ACM Reference format”, at the end
of this document. Within this template, use the style named
references for the text. Acceptable abbreviations, for journal
names, can be found here: Figure 1. Insert caption to place caption below figure.
