Guidelines for preparing IOP Conference Series articles

IOP Conference Series Team

IOP Publishing, Bristol, UK

*E-mail: [email protected]

Abstract. This document provides guidelines for preparing articles using the
IOP Conference Series Word template. Authors must not change the page size
or margins in the template, and must not add headers, footers or page
numbers. IOP Publishing will add these components during production, but will
not make any other changes to the text or layout, and will not send out author
proofs. The submitted PDF must be in the final form ready for publication. More
detail on the requirements is provided in the online author guidelines available
at https://conferenceseries.iop.org/content/authors.

1. Introduction
The file IOP-ConfSer-template.docx contains the basic layout for an article, in line with the
requirements for the IOP Conference Series titles. Do not change the page size or margins,
and do not add headers, footers or page numbers.
Replace the placeholder text in the template with the details for your article. Organise the main
text using section headings, and include any equations, figures, tables, lists.
General requirements for articles in IOP Conference Series titles are summarized in the sections
below. Refer to the online author guidelines for more details.
The submitted PDF must be in the final form ready for publication. Make sure you proofread
your article before submitting it. Information on how to submit your article will be provided
by the conference organizer.

2. General requirements
2.1 Page layout
The following points are set by the IOP-ConfSer-template file and must be followed to avoid
problems in the production of your proceedings article:
• page size: European A4;
• top-margin: 4 cm; bottom-margin: 2.7 cm; left- and right-margin: 2.5 cm;
• no page numbers, no other page headers or footers;
• text is single-spaced, not double-spaced;
• all pages are portrait orientation.

In addition:
• all fonts must be embedded in the submitted PDF.
2.2 Article content
All articles must have a title, authors and affiliations, and an abstract.
The abstract must be a single paragraph providing concise information about the content of the
article, including the main results obtained and conclusions drawn. The abstract must not
contain any table numbers, figure numbers, references or displayed mathematics.
Leave 10 mm space below the abstract before starting the main text of your article on the same
page. Organise the main text using section headings, and include any equations, figures, tables,
lists etc.
Information on article length limit will be provided by the conference organizer.
The template file includes IOP-CS styles for headings, body text, captions, table content and
reference text. To apply a style, select the text and choose the required option from the Styles
panel.

2.2.1 Figures and tables


Figures and tables must be placed close to where they are mentioned in the text, not all
together at the end of the article. All figures and tables must have a caption.
The template file includes placeholder text boxes for a figure and a table. Replace the
placeholder information following the instructions in the template. Copy and paste the text
boxes to add more tables or figures. Delete the text boxes if they are not required.

2.2.2 Equations
Insert equations and inline math expressions using MathType if available. Otherwise use the
default Word equation editor. Equations that are converted to images are not permitted.
Note that the Word auto-recover file will automatically convert equations to images. Save your
file regularly to avoid needing to use the auto-recover file.

3. References
You can choose to use either the Vancouver (numbered) or Harvard (author-year) system for
citing your references. Items in the reference list can be formatted in any style, as long as each
item contains all the information needed to find the reference. The required details for some
standard reference types are given below.
