Font Spacing Section 11 point Times bold 1 line space before a section No additional space after a section heading Subsection 11 point 1 line space before a subsection Times Italic No space after a subsubsection heading Subsubsection 11 point Subsubsections should end with a full stop Times Italic (period) and run into the text of the paragraph Numbering Sections should be numbered with a dot following the number and then separated by a single space: sections should be numbered 1, 2, 3, etc subsections should be numbered 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, etc subsubsections should be numbered 2.3.1, 2.3.2, etc Footnotes Footnotes should be avoided whenever possible. If required they should be used only for brief notes that do not fit conveniently into the text. Figures Each figure should have a brief caption describing it and, if necessary, a key to interpret the various lines and symbols on the figure. Space considerations Authors should try to make economical use of the space on the page; for example: avoid excessively large white space borders your graphics; around try to design illustrations that make good use of the available space—avoid unnecessarily large amounts of white space the graphic; within Text in figures Wherever possible try to ensure that the size of the text in your figures (apart from superscripts/subscripts) is approximately the same size as the main text (11 points). Line thickness In general, try to avoid extremely fine lines (often called because such lines often ‘hairline’ thickness) do not reproduce well when printed out—your diagrams may lose vital information when downloaded and printed by other researchers. Try to ensure that lines are no thinner than 0.25 pt. Note that some illustrations may reduce line thickness when the graphic is imported and reduced in size (scaled down) inside Microsoft Word. Colour illustrations You are free to use colour illustrations for the online version of Journal of Physics: Conference Series but any print version will only be printed in black and white unless special arrangements have been made with your conference organizer for colour printing. Please check with the conference organizer whether or not this is the case. If any print version will be black and white only, you should check your figure captions carefully and remove any reference to colour in the illustration and
