Preparation of manuscript for a CIE

meeting Proceedings

Manuscripts should be handed in in triplicate

(one original and two good quality photocopies) at
the meeting, protected by heavy board.

To ensure that all papers are in a form which is

acceptable for publication the manuscripts
submitted by the authors in a camera ready form
should adhere to some rules. It is not intended to
stifle originality but rather to ensure that the final
paper, which has cost the author many hours of
research, investigation and preparation, will be
appreciated by, and be of benefit to, all who read
the Proceedings.

Authors, if they produce their manuscript on a

word-processor, are requested to send their
contribution also on disk: one file containing the
manuscript as an ASCII file, and one in their word
processor format (please state the format
precisely).

In order to ensure that proper recognition be

given to the author's work, it is important that
some basic rules are adhered to and some guidelines are accepted. The Organising Committee
reserves the right to refuse your manuscript in
case of non compliance with these instructions.
Papers which exceed the stated maximum length
or stray significantly from the recommended
layout will not be included in the Proceedings.
1.1 Type and length of papers
The total length of your manuscript, including all
figures and tables, is limited to the length as
stated in the letter of acceptance. Please adhere
strictly to this limitation, it will not be possible to
print longer manuscripts. Approximately 600
words in the format recommended will fit on one
page.

1.2 Photo-offset printing

Reproduction of papers will be made directly from
the material supplied by the authors. You are
asked therefore to:

adhere strictly to layout instructions detailed in

section 2,
read and correct your text carefully, as no
proof reading will be possible.

2. LAYOUT INSTRUCTIONS FOR

MANUSCRIPTS
2.1 Language of the manuscript
Only English language manuscripts are accepted
for this Proceedings.
2.2 Title
The title of your paper should indicate the subject
as clearly and briefly as possible.

NOTE: The papers will be printed directly from

your original which should be sent on A4 paper
(21 x 29,4 cm). American 8 1/2" x 11" paper is
acceptable provided that the text is contained
within the column space shown: Double column
print, total print area: 15,2 x 23,3 cm.

2.1.1 The upper limit for the beginning of the text

on the first page is lower than on following pages.
This is clearly indicated by the CIE LOGO
marking on this sample paper. This space, across
the full width of the page, is reserved for
typesetting your title and name at the printers.

Authors with access to word-processors and

laser printers may choose to produce their
manuscript directly on A4 paper. In this case the
text should be set in 9 point Helvetica or 10 point
Times Roman.

For this reason you are asked to type the title

and author name(s) at the very top of the
sheet well outside the format area.

Authors using typewriters or letter-quality

printers should produce their manuscripts on A3
paper (11"x18" - USA) having Elite type (character
width 2,1 mm or 12 characters to the inch). The
manuscript should then be reduced to A4 size (i.e.
a linear reduction to 70 % in case of A3 paper) on
a good quality photocopier.

The page numbering will also be done by the

printer and therefore the numbering of your
manuscript pages should also be typed well
outside the format area.
2.3 Abstract
Your paper should begin with a synopsis of the
paper, giving a clear outline of its contents and
stating principal results and conclusions.
2.3.1 Start your manuscript on the lefthand side of
the page, typing the word "ABSTRACT" (in

Preparation of manuscript for a CIE meeting Proceedings

CAPITALS). Position this below the title space
starting at the lefthand vertical format line. Leave
a 1,5 space after this heading, then write the
abstract of your paper (using single line spacing).
Leave a 1,5 space between paragraphs within the
abstract. The finished length of each line of type
should be approximately 73 mm. Never type
outside the format areas.
2.4 Introduction
Leave a two line space, then type at the left
vertical line "1. INTRODUCTION", leave a 1,5
space and then start the text again at the left
vertical line, using single space typing, with 1,5
space between paragraphs, headings and
subheadings.
2.5 Body of the paper
Leave a two line space, then type at the left
vertical line "2." and the heading of Sec. 2 of your
manuscript.
Use decimal numbering for all major headings
and sub headings e.g.: 1., 1.1, 1.2, 2., 2.1, etc. All
headings should be typed in CAPITALS and subheadings in lower case. Do not underline headings
and sub-headings.
See 2.5.1 for typing second column or moving
to continuation pages.
For further information on the use of figures
and tables see paragraph 2.6 and for symbols,
units and equations see paragraph 2.8.
2.5.1 When it becomes necessary to continue on
the right hand side of the page forming a second
column, type on the first page to the bottom of the
second format area. Do not type below that area.
From the second page on, use the full format
areas. You may increase the space before
headings or subheadings to get full page length
columns.
2.6 Figures and tables
These should be inserted into the manuscript near
to where first mention is made. The size of
diagrams, the lettering used on figures and the
thickness of lines used should take account of the
reduction if your original is typed on A3 or 11"x18"
(USA) paper. Figures and tables can spread
across both columns, if necessary. For graphs,
show only the coordinate axes, or at most the
major grid lines. Figures should be drawn in black
Indian ink if they are not printed by computer
graphics. Half tone pictures do not reproduce well
and should, if possible, be avoided.

Figures and tables should each be numbered

consecutively. These numbers should appear both
in the text and with captions. The captions should
be positioned above tables and below figures.
2.7
References, details of author(s) &
acknowledgements
References cited in the body of the paper should
be consecutively numbered, placing the number in
square brackets: [ ]. List all references at the end
of your paper under a heading: REFERENCES,
giving the information in the following way.
SURNAME of the author (in CAPITALS)
initials: full title of paper, official abbreviation of
journal in italics, volume (in bold), pp. first - last
page of contribution, year of publication (e.g.:
JEROME CW: Absolute colour rendering, J. Illum.
Eng. Soc. 4, 25-28, 1974).
For books or monographs, write after the
name(s) of author(s) and the title of the book
(monograph) the name of the editor (if
appropriate), the publisher, place and year of
publication (e.g.: BUDDE W: Physical Detectors
of Optical Radiation, ed.: GRUM F &
BARTLESON J, Academic Press, New York,
1983).
When the work referred to is an official
publication of an organisation and where no
author's name is given the organisation
responsible for the publication should be quoted at
the beginning of the reference (e.g.: Commission
Internationale de l'clairage: Colorimetry, CIE
15.2-1986).
At the end of your paper, list the name(s) and
exact postal address(es) of (all) the author(s)
(include e-mail or fax number as well). Finally, if
necessary, acknowledgement of support and
assistance should be given.
2.8 Symbols, units and equations
As far as possible, type symbols and equations. If
symbols are not available on your typewriter or
wordprocessor use black Indian ink to write them
in very clearly. Where symbols with subscripts or
superscripts are used, increase the line spacing
above or below the line in which they appear, so
that the symbols and indices are clearly legible.
Equations should be numbered consecutively
at the righthand side of the column in brackets ( ).
Use only SI-units, and consult the CIE
VOCABULARY (CIE 17.4-1987) for the standard
terms and symbols. If you use acronyms they
must be defined the first time they appear.
