Guidelines for manuscripts
The style for MIUA Proceedings manuscripts
is described on this page. Extra help for users of Microsoft Word and LaTeX is
also available:
Further down this page is an html document explaining instructions for
authors. The fonts and layout is browser dependent, so depending on the
configuration of your browser, the layout of the page may not follow the camera
ready guidelines. A document laid out in the correct format is avaible in
postscript, pdf and word. Please ensure that your camera ready submission is
layed out like one of these.

Abstract. An abstract of up to 200 words should be included in your
final manuscript. It is particularly important for the on-line proceedings, to
allow viewers a preview of the contents of a paper before downloading it. This
document gives instructions for laying out your manuscript, it can be used on
its own, or together with Word or LaTeX2e style
files, which are available on the MIUA website (http://www.miua.org.uk). Note
that the abstract is indented by 1 cm at both left and right, is justified and
9 point text is used.
1 Introduction
The font used must be Times New Roman. This font is very widely
available, but if you are unable to use it, choose a similar serif font. The aim
of specifying a font is to produce a professional looking Proceedings: this is
not the time to exercise individuality! Text should be single spaced, and
underlining must not be used.
Abbreviations and acronyms may be used where
appropriate, but always define them where they are first used.
Use footnote to give correspondence details and authors' email addresses. Do
not include page numbers. Do not include any text in the header or footer area.
Spell check using UK English.
The margins for A4 paper are 2.5 cm all round. Whatever size paper is used,
all your printing must fit inside an equivalent area of 160 x 247 mm. On US 8.5
x 11" paper, appropriate margins are 25 mm left, 30.9 mm right, 25 mm top and
7.4 mm bottom.
2 Formatting the manuscript
The font sizes to
be used for various parts of the text are summarised in Table 1.

16 pt, bold, centred. |
| Authors names
| 10 pt, regular, centred |
| Affiliations |

| Subheadings |
11 pt, bold, left justified. Number 1.1,1.2 etc |
| Figure and Table captions |

table/figure and caption |
| References |
“References” as Principal headings. Text 9pt, regular, justified.
Number from 1, with hanging indent of 0.5 cm for text. Examples of the

Table
1. Fonts sizes and attributes. All
fonts are Times New Roman or an equivalent.
2.1 Formatting for figures and tables
Figures
and tables are numbered in the order in which they are referred to. Figures
should appear in numerical order, and preferably on the same page as they are
first mentioned in the text. Centre figures and tables and their
captions.
2.2 Citing and formatting of references
References should be numbered in order of citation. They should be cited
in the text using a numeral in square brackets. This is the Vancouver system of
referencing. Do not include as a reference work which has not yet been accepted
for publication. The styles for different types of publication are shown in the
example list of references: Journal [1], book
[2],
conference paper in proceedings [3,4].
Include the names of up to three authors, if there are more use three plus et.
al.
3 Other points
