papers   for   the   XI   COREIC
proceedings adapted from the
IEEE   2­Column   format   for
conference proceedings.  You
can use this document for the
instructions   and   as   a
template into which you can
type   your   own   text   over   the
given text or select the preset
styles   (shown   in
parentheses).     Full   paper
submissions are limited to 08
pages   maximum,   and

I. INTRODUCTION
(HEADING 1)
Your goal is to
simulate the appearance of
papers published in IEEE
conference proceedings
[1], with changes to style of
the author-institution-email
sections, as shown here.
Any questions should be
sent to the technical
committee chair, email can
be found in XI COREIC
website.
A. Preparing Your
Paper (Heading 2)
1) Paper Size: DINA4
(210 x 297 mm).
2) Type Sizes and
Typefaces: Follow the font
type sizes in Table I. The
font type sizes are given in
MS Word font size points.
Times New Roman is the
preferred font.
3) Paper Margins: Set
top = 0.75” (19.05mm),
bottom = 1” (25.4mm),
side = 0.625” (15.875mm).
Each column measures 3.5
inches wide, with a 0.25-
inch gap in between.
4) Paper Styles: Left-
and right-justify the
columns. On the last page
of your paper, adjust the
lengths of the columns so
that they are equal. Use
automatic hyphenation and

periods (full stops).
Hyphenate complex
modifiers: “zero-field-
cooled magnetization.”
Avoid dangling participles,
such as, “Using (1), the
potential was calculated.”
Write instead, “The
potential was calculated
using (1),” or “Using (1),
we calculated the
potential.”
Use a zero before
decimal points: “0.25,” not
“.25.” Use “cm3,” not “cc.”
Do not mix complete

“webers per square meter,”

units when they appear in
text: “…a few henries,” not
“…a few H.” If your native
language is not English, try
to get a native English-
speaking colleague to
proofread your paper.
III. UNITS
Use either SI (MKS) or
CGS as primary units. (SI
units are encouraged.)
English units may be used
as secondary units (in
parentheses). An exception
would be the use of English
units as identifiers in trade,
such as “3.5-inch disk
drive.”
Avoid combining SI
and CGS units, such as
current in amperes and
magnetic field in oersteds.
This often leads to
confusion because
equations do not balance
dimensionally. If you must
use mixed units, clearly
state the units for each
quantity that you use in an
equation.
IV. SOME COMMON
MISTAKES
The word “data” is
plural, not singular. In
American English, periods
and commas are within
quotation marks, like “this
period.” A parenthetical

and “compliment,”
“discreet” and “discrete,”
“principal” and
“principle.” Do not confuse
“imply” and “infer.” The
prefix “non” is not a word;
it should be joined to the
word it modifies, usually
without a hyphen. There is
no period after the “et” in
the Latin abbreviation “et
al.” The abbreviation “i.e.”
means “that is,” and the
abbreviation “e.g.” means
“for example.” An
excellent style manual for
science writers is [8].
ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The preferred spelling
of the word
“acknowledgment” in
America is without an “e”
after the “g.” Try to avoid
the stilted expression, “One
of us (R. B. G.) thanks …”
Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks
…” Put sponsor
acknowledgments in the
unnumbered footnote on
the first page.
