AUTHOR GUIDELINES/INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARING PROCEEDINGS MANUSCRIPTS AFTER PAPER ACCEPTANCE
======================================================================
Paper submission should be through
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=seke2022
After paper is accepted, please follow the following guidelines/instructions for preparing proceedings manuscripts.
1. All manuscripts must be in English.
2. You can download
and follow the template for formatting your paper. (There might be minor inconsistencies between author's formatting instructions and the Word/Latex templates. If you are using a template you may ignore such inconsistencies.)
3. Paper layout. All manuscripts must be printable on laser printer,
using standard 8-1/2" X 11" paper and printed only on one-side of paper.
Authors from Europe, Asia and other countries may use the longer A1 paper,
but all text, illustrations, charts, etc. must be kept
within the parameters of the 8-7/8" (22.4 cm) length and 6-7/8" (17.4 cm)
width.
4. Type style/size. Text is to be typed single space in 10-point Times-Roman
with 12-point interline spacing
in a two-column format. The title should be 24-point boldface type
and centered over both columns. The author name(s) / affiliation(s) should
be 11-point/10-point nonboldface type, upper and lower case centered. Subsection
headings are to be 11-point boldface type, flush left.
5. Column width and height. The column width is 3-1/4 inches (20 picas or
8.3 cm) with a 5/16" (2 picas or 0.8cm) gutter. Margins are 3/4" (4.6 picas
or 1.9 cm) on the sides and top, and 1" (6 picas or 2.5 cm) on the bottom.
The specifications for margins are only approximate. If the resulting
printable is a little larger or smaller, it is okay.
Start the first page 1-1/16" (6.5 picas or 2.7 cm) from the top. Skip
a line between the title and author name(s) and two lines between the author
affiliation(s) and the text. The text length should mot exceed 8-7/8"
(22.8 cm). If the last page fills only one column, please divide the text
into two equal columns.
6. Print all type and graphics directly on sheets formatted
according to the instructions. Do not affix elements to your pages
unless those elements cannot otherwise be included.
7. Abstract. The abstract can be up to 3" (18 picas or 7.6 cm) long. You
can type the abstract in italics or regular type. Leave two spaces between
the abstract and the text.
8. Illustrations, Graphs and Photographs. Illustrations, graphs, and
photographs may fit across both columns if necessary, but keep the text in
two columns. Your artwork must be in place on the article. If you are
using photographs, please try to supply the
best quality photographs or illustrations possible. The quality of the
proceedings will be only as good as the originals provided.
9. Footnotes and references. Use footnotes sparingly and place them at
the bottom of the column in which they are referenced. List and number all
bibliographical references at the end of the paper. When referenced within
the text, enclose the number in square brackets []. Where appropriate,
include editor(s) of a book. Usually page numbers should be at the end of the references after the year of publication.
10. Your paper is limited to SIX pages if it is a REGULAR paper, and FOUR pages if it is a SHORT paper, as specified in the acceptance letter of program chair. There is a penalty of $100 US dollars for the first page over the page limit, and a penalty of $150 US dollars for the second page over the limit. If your paper exceeds the stated limit, you should contact the program chair.
11. How to upload the final paper for the proceedings
11.1. The update option in EasyChair has been enabled. You
can now update the detailed parameters of your paper,
especially the paper title, because often authors want
to modify the paper title of the final version. You
can also update the authors but you must first obtain
the permission from SEKE2022 program chair by sending
e-mail to the conference. In general we don't allow
the deletion of an author to protect junior author
unless the said author sends us a letter indicating
his/her consent. We almost always allow the addition of authors.
11.2. Instead of updating the EasyChair version of your paper,
THE FINAL VERSION OF YOUR PAPER MUST BE UPLOADED
TO SEKE WEBSITE AS FOLLOWS:
Suppose your paper ID is 015. Then you
do the following:
ftp ftp.ipage.com
login: seke22
password: Covid-19#
put paper015.pdf
Please note your paper ID must be three digits with leading zeros.
11.3. When your presentation ppt file is ready, you can upload as follows:
ftp ftp.ipage.com
login: seke22present
password: Covid-19#
put paper015.ppt
11.4. If you don't have ftp tool, you can download
FileZilla Client, which is free. Once you
log on FileZilla, you can enter "ftp.ipage.com"
as the host address. Please note ftp.ipage.com is
NOT a website. Don't try to click on it.
12. How to add DOI number to your final version:
When you prepare the final manuscript, please make
sure that at the lower left corner of the first page
you include the DOI index as a foot note. For example,
if your paper ID is 24, then your DOI index is:
DOI reference number: 10.18293/SEKE2022-024
Please note you must add leading zeros to your
paper ID to form the three digit DOI number, so that
CrossRef can search the DOI index and find your paper.
13. Finally, your final pdf file must NOT contain page numbers,
so that we can add the page numbers when we compile
the proceedings. Thank you.
