Checklist Camera-Ready General
Do not simply copy and paste the prepared content to the template. This method overrides the format of the
given template and should not be used.
Only papers satisfying the required format will be processed. Check the paper against the following list
before submitting the paper.
Ensure that your reference information is correct and in proper format. Refer to [30] to [35] of the reference
section of the MS word template for the reference format of our publications.
The submitted works must represent the authors’ contributions and must not be copied or plagiarized in
whole or in part from other works. If the authors have used the work and/or words of others, this has to be
appropriately cited or quoted. The authors must disclose all and any actual or potential conflicts of interest
with their work or partial benefits associated with it.
Copyright issue: For a paper that contains any materials under copyright, the author himself/herself is
responsible for obtaining permissions to any such materials under copyright.
Paper Setting
[1010] The paper size is A4 and all pages are portrait. Rotate it 90° anticlockwise if a page is landscape.
[1016] Avoid unnecessary blank area. Fill in the blank area with the paper content.
[1020] The margin area including the middle margin should be blank. Avoid putting anything such as paper
title, page numbers, headers, footers, texts, figures, tables, etc. Remove any header/footer. Even it seems to
be blank, its space and etc will make the margin wider.
Page 1 of 24
[1030] See the following figure for the page setup of the WHOLE paper (“Apply to” should be set to Whole
document). The dimensions are in inches.
[1040] The paper is in two-column style, except the paper title and the author name(s).
[1045] The spacing between the two columns is 0.2 inch and the two columns should be equal in width.
[1050] Use Times New Roman as the font type for the whole paper.
Page 2 of 24
[1060] The first page is like the below figure:
Refer to the appendix (the first page of the MS word paper template) at the end for example.
[1065] Alignment
Centre : Paper Title, Author Names, Section Headings
Justified : Paper Content, Reference
[1070] One file only. Do not separate the paper into several files.
[1080] Avoid using any page/section break unless it is necessary. If you use it, you must check [1016],
[6015], [6050] as well.
[1090] Use 1-column style instead of 2-column style if something, e.g. table/figure/equation is too large.
Suppose there are both 1-column style and 2-column style on same page, the items in 1-column style should
be put either on the top or bottom part instead of the middle part. See [1080], [1095], [6015] as well.
[1095] If there are many 1-column tables/figures/equations, place group them together at the end of the
content and before the reference part to avoid distorting the flow of the paper. See [6015] as well.
Page 3 of 24
Paper Title
[2010] Use font 24, not bold, not italic, centre, single line spacing. No sub-title. No full stop at the end.
[2020] Use both capital letters and small letters, with Each Initial Letter Capitalized (Note: prepositions and
articles should be lowercase, except the first word)

[3030] The paper and author details are compulsory and are arranged in the left-bottom of the first page (not
in the margin area). Leave some space between it and the paper content. Use font 8, not bold, not italic,
justified, single line spacing. Refer to [1060] for the proper position and format. See [3032], [3035] as well.
Refer to the appendix (the first page of the MS word paper template) at the end for example.
Date information, funding information and author details are listed one by one in this order.
[3032] The author details must include the affiliation, role in the affiliation, country, contact email of each
author. For each author, list the information in new paragraph according to the sequence of the author list.
Refer to [3035] and the paper template for the proper position and format. All information is current and
there is no need to add something like currently, now and etc. Refer to the appendix (the first page of the MS
word paper template) at the end for example.
[3034] Make sure that parentheses, i.e. the symbols ( ), are used in pair.
[3035] The author details show one current position and contact only. It is not for any research interests,
educational background or past working history like the bibliography. If you want to add such details or
show more than one current position for any author (e.g. many roles / working in two universities), you can
add the comprehensive author details after the reference section instead. Refer to the appendix (the last page
of the MS word paper template) at the end for example.
[3036] Use font 8, justified for the comprehensive author details at the end of the paper if any.
Page 7 of 24
[3040] Use proper information. In the template, First A author, F. A. Author, etc should be replaced by the
name of the author. Manuscript received XXXX; revised YYYY should be replaced with proper dates,
where XXXX is the initial paper submission date while YYYY is the date for latest revised date. Remove all
tips which inform you how to prepare this session such as (Write the date on which you submitted your
paper for review and the last revision date.), and etc. See [3045] as well.
[3045] Only two dates are required in the format as stated in [3040]. Avoid acceptance date, second revision
date, and etc. See [3046] and [3048] as well.
instead of
[3050] There is no paper content under the author details. See [1016] and [1060] as well.
[3080] Avoid “thank” / “acknowledge” type sentence for funding information. Use the style like
This work was supported in part by the U.S. Department of Commerce under Grant BS123456.

Abstract
[4010] Use font 9, bold, not italic, justify
[4040] The content of the abstract comes after “ABSTRACT –“ (see [1060]), i.e.
Instead of
ABSTRACT -
This paper is …
Index Terms
[5010] Use font 9, bold, not italic, justify
[5020] Leave one line space between the abstract and the index terms.
Page 9 of 24
Content
[6010] Use font 10, not bold, not italic, justify for general content.
[6015] The flow of the content starts from the left column, then the right column of the same page, and then
the next page, and etc.
[6017] Enlarge the first letter of the first paragraph of the first section only.
[6020] Use section headings (Use font 10, not bold, not italic, centre, all capital letters and numbered in
Roman, i.e. I, II, III, ….), e.g. I Introduction. No colon at the end.
[6025] Ensure the correctness of the sequence of the section numbers and the consistence of the format.
[6027] Add proper section number for the section headings without section numbers. See [6025] as well.
[6030] Avoid blurred equations. Ask a third party to read the page in actual size (no enlargement) from the
screen and/or the printed version to see whether he can read the page clearly without guessing.
Page 10 of 24
[6035] There are some strange symbols in the equations. Check to see whether they are valid.
[6040] For any bulleted/numbered list, the format should be consistent, e.g. the style, the line spacing, etc.
[6050] Check to ensure the correctness of the number sequence of all sections / figures / tables / equations /
lists / references and the corresponding numbers in the paper content, especially after any changes, e.g.,
inserting a section, adding a new figure, deleting a table, changing the sequence of equations, swapping
items in a list, rearranging the references, making section break, etc.
[6060] Usually, it is better to use a concise format to represent a number, e.g. 2139.7 instead of 2139.723434
and 0.0987 instead of 0.09866123.
[6070] Put NOMENCLATURES after the abstract and the index terms and before the paper sections.
[7010] Give a label to each figure/table. Provide a main label together with a sub-label for each sub
figure/table if there are sub figures/tables. See [7020], [7030] and [7040] as well.
[7015] Do not use other terms such as algorithms, charts, diagrams, flowcharts, lists, graphs, pictures, etc for
figures. Check [7075] as well.
[7020] Each label should be numbered and with a brief description. The description should be a noun or
noun phrase. Put further information in the paper content instead. Refer to the paper template for examples.
[7025] Each label should be typed on the paper, not on the image.
[7070] Ensure the correctness of the sequence of the label numbers and the consistence of the format (see
[7030] and [7040]).
[7075] Ensure the correctness of the label numbers and the corresponding numbers in the paper content.
Position
[7030] Figure labels should be under the corresponding figures. The label numbers should be in Fig 1, Fig 2,
Fig 3, Fig 4, etc.
[7040] Table labels should be above the corresponding table. The label numbers should be in Table I, Table
II, Table III, Table IV, etc.
[7060] Arrange a table/figure and its label in the same column/page if possible. See [1016] as well.
[7080] Leave a line space between each figure/table and the content.
[7095] Avoid inserting a figure/table inside a paragraph. Do it before or after a whole paragraph.
Page 11 of 24
Clear
[7050] Avoid blurred tables/figures (including all texts, especially those with subscript/superscript, e.g. n2,
CO2, H∞, etc.). All texts must be clear and large enough in actual size (no enlargement). Avoid bold texts.
The resolution of all images must be high enough.
Ask a third party to read the page in actual size (no enlargement) from the screen and/or the printed version
to see whether he can read it clearly without guessing. See [1090], [7051], [7052], [7054] as well.
For the figure below, it is impossible to read the texts and the symbol labels.
Solution 1: Enlarge the figure so that all content can be read in actual size (no enlargement). See [1090] as
well.
Solution 2: Add the texts on the figures to indicate the content clearly so that all content can be read in
actual size (no enlargement). This method is very suitable if you cannot produce the image again since you
can add on something important on the top of the image.
Page 12 of 24
[7051] Avoid stretching the image without consideration its resolution and proportion.
If the resolution of the image is not high enough, the texts inside will become blurred after stretching.
Enlarge the texts instead of simply stretching the image.
Improper proportion of an image distorts the content, e.g. changing the shape of the item, making it difficult
to read the texts.
CASE A
Cut unnecessary blank outer boundary, e.g. Suppose the pink color is the boundary of the image, use image
I instead of image II.
Image I
Image II
CASE B
Suppose there are many sub-figures in a figure, arrange them into several rows instead of a single row/ a few
rows before enlarging the sub-figures as much as possible. In this way, the content will be clearer. If the
content is still not clear, you need to consider [1090].
[7053] The items in a figure/table should be differentiated easily even printed in BLACK AND WHITE only.
You are advised to
Keep the colour images and add pointers with descriptions to differentiate the meaning of the colour.
See [7054] as well.
Use colours in different clear grey levels. Similar grey levels should not be used to avoid any
confusion. See [7055] as well.
Use different clear patterns. Similar patterns should not be used to avoid any confusion. See [7055]
as well.
Use different symbols. Similar patterns should not be used to avoid any confusion and symbols
should be large enough and not overlapped. See [7055] as well. Use plain lines and add pointers
with descriptions if the symbols overlap. See [7054] as well.
Ask a third party to read the page in actual size (no enlargement) from the screen and/or the printed version
to see whether he can differentiate different items without guessing. See [7050] and [7058] as well.
Page 13 of 24
[7054] Use pointers with description to distinguish the items if
This method is very suitable if you cannot produce the image again since you can add on something
important on the top of the image.
Consider [7058] if the items are too close and it is difficult to point to the items clearly.
Use pointers with description for the same group of items in a bar chart. Choose the group without zero
value if possible.
Page 14 of 24
[7055] Items in a table/figure should be labelled clearly. The item patterns should be shown fully with their
names/simple description so that the corresponding items in the figure can be recognized easily. The texts
and patterns should be large enough for clear reading.
[7056] Remove unnecessary colour lines under some texts in the table/figures.
[7057] Avoid background colour for table cells or figures unless it is necessary and the content inside can be
read clearly. See [7053] as well.
Page 15 of 24
[7058] Some contents in a table/figure are merged together or cannot be displayed.
Make a “zoom in” to show the difference if some lines in a figure are merged together.
[7059] Select important information instead of putting a large amount of data in the work.
Page 16 of 24
Appendix and Acknowledgement
[8010] Appendix is optional. If it is needed, put it after the content and before the acknowledgement and the
reference.
[8040] Avoid putting sponsor and financial support acknowledgments in the acknowledgement part. Place
them on the paper info part which is just above the author info part on the first page. See [1060], [3080].
Reference
[9000] Footnotes should be avoided. Integrate the information in the paper content and use the reference
part instead.
[9015] Use the term “REFERENCES” for the section heading, not e.g. “BIBLIOGRAPY” for the reference
part.
[9030] Provide a brief description to each URL, not just place a URL.
[9040] Each reference should be quoted in the paper. Remove any reference not quoted in the content.
Page 17 of 24
[9050] The format of the references should be For example, set Indentation of the References in
MS Word

Page 19 of 24
[9055] Ensure the correctness of the sequence of the reference part. It should be in [1], [2], etc. Avoid
skipping any numbers. For any updates, ensure the correctness of the cited references in the paper content.
[9056] Use normal font for reference quotation. That is, use [1] instead of [1] or [1].
[9060] Translate the reference to English (at least the title, the journal/proceedings name, page information,
etc) if the reference is not in English. Put the original reference information after the translated one.
[9070] There is a reference quotation in the table/figure, etc. Only mentioning its source as a reference does
not mean that it can be used without permission. If it is yours and does not violate any copyright issue, you
can state clearly next to the quotation that it is owned by you.
***You need to inform us how you solve this problem since it is a serious problem. ***
Option 1: If you have got the permission from the copyright owner, you need to state clearly that the
permission has been obtained and cite it properly in the table/figure label like “([X] and copyright obtained)”.
In addition, please include the permission which has been signed by the copyright owner in the list of
changes.
Option 2: Delete the related item from the paper and consider [7075]. You can provide the reference of the
related item so that people can find it themselves if needed.
Option 3: Redrawing. You must thoroughly understand the meaning after reading the link below
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/pb-assets/assets/15214117/2056-Copyright-permissions-for-Author-
Guidelines.pdf
In this case, you need to redraw it from scratch. You need to state clearly that the version is redrawn based
on someone else’s idea and cite it properly it in the paper content and the figure label like “(redrawing based
on [X])”. In addition, please include the source image and the redrawing image in the list of changes for
consideration.
