Preparation of Papers in Two Column Format for

ISEC 2018

One Author

Institution, oneauthor@schoolname

If multiple authors from the same institution

First Author and Second Author

University of Virginia, firstauthor, secondauthor@virginia

Example:

Gabrielle Doe, James Johns, and Amanda Smith

University of Virginia, gd, jj, as@virginia

or multiple authors from multiple institutions

First Author, Second Author, and Third Author

firstauthor@virginia, secondauthor@vt, thirdauthor@gmu

Abstract - All papers must include an abstract and a set

of index terms. The Abstract and Index Terms text must

be 10 point Times New Roman, fully justified and

contained within one paragraph. Begin the Abstract

with the word Abstract - in Times New Roman italic.

The entire Abstract should be in bold. Do not indent.

Use a standard dash after the word “Abstract.” Do not

cite references or use abbreviations in the abstract. It

should be approximately 200 - 275 words.

Index Terms - About four, placed in alphabetical order, key

words or phrases that are separated by commas (e.,

Camera-ready, FIE format, Preparation of papers, Two-

column format). Italic for the label “Index Terms”;

otherwise, regular font.

PAGE LAYOUT

These instructions serve as a template for Microsoft Word

(Office 2013 used), and give you the basic guidelines for

preparing camera-ready papers. Please follow the

instructions provided in these guidelines carefully to ensure

legibility and uniformity. The guidelines are designed to

reduce the amount of white space and maximize the amount

of text that can be placed on one page. Please do not use

LaTex.

Follow these instructions to help you use this template

more easily. When you use this file, select “Print Layout”

from the “View” menu (View | Print Layout), which will

allow you to see the two-column format. You may then type

over sections by using the cut and paste commands listed

under the Edit menu (Edit | Paste) into this document and/or

by using the markup styles. Finally, enable “Show”

(paragraph mark icon) so you can see the various formatting

features. We suggest you use this document as your guide

and simply cut and paste your text over the material in

this document. If you MUST use Google docs, focus on

your content and when that’s set, cut and paste it into

this template.

OVERALL FORMAT SPECIFICATIONS

All papers must use the following layout:

 8 1/2” x 11” paper size

 Portrait Orientation

 Two-column format for the body of the

document

 Top margin: 0”

 Bottom margin: 1”

 Left and right margins: 0”

 Spacing between columns: 0”

 Column width: 3”

 Indents - first paragraph of section - none

 Indents - all other paragraphs - .25”

 Header and Footers 0 inches

Set all these values using the “FILE” Menu. Select the

Page Setup – Margins tab option and click on portrait

orientation option. The above margin dimensions can then

be inserted into the Page Setup Window. Now select the

Paper tab and click on the paper size and select the letter

paper size. Next, select the Page Setup – Layout tab and set

the Header and Footer to 0 inches. To set the column

width, click anywhere in the document within the two

column format, then Select the Columns for the Format

menu. Click on the Equal Column Width and set the

spacing. Make sure you also apply these changes to “This

Section.”

When formatting your document, make consistent use

of punctuation marks and spelling. Either American or

British formatting is acceptable, but it must be consistent,

not a mix. For example,

 Putting all commas and periods either inside

(American) or outside (British) of quotation marks

 Use of single/double quotes, e. 'service

center' (British) rather than “service center” (American).

 Spellings such as grey and disc (British) vs.

gray and disk (American).

PAPER TITLE AND AUTHOR DATA

The title and author data is in a one-column format, while

the rest of the paper is in a two-column format. To

accomplish this, a continuous section break is used. There

are two ways to setup this format: 1) Use this template as a

guide or 2) make your own. If you wish to make your own,

it is suggested that you open a new document and begin by

inserting the title and author information in the standard one-

column format. Please adhere to the following style

guidelines:

 Paper title: This information should be placed

at the top of the first page in 24 point, Times New

Roman in Title case, and centered. This style is defined

under the style menu of this document as “TITLE.” It is

NOT bold.

 Insert a 11 point blank line between the Title

and the Author listing.

 Author listing: 11 point, Times New Roman,

centered. This style is defined under the style menu of

this document as “Author.” Include only the author

names in the author listing. Use the full first name for

the authors. If an author is submitting more than one

paper please provide the same name on both papers. Be

consistent as the name you provide on the paper will be

what is used to create the author index for the

proceedings.

 Author Affiliation: 10 point, Times New

Roman, centered under the author name. This style is

defined under the style menu of this document as

“Affiliations.” List the institution and email address. If

the email address becomes a live link, you must disable

it. (If the email address turns blue, that means the

hyperlink is active. To remove: right click on the

address and select Edit Hyperlink and then Remove

Link.) There are 3 basic types of setups possible: One

author, multiple authors from the same institution, and

multiple authors from multiple institutions. If the paper

has one author use the affiliation layout as shown at the

top of this document where all the author information is

listed under the paper title. For multiple authors, from

the same institution, list the common university, then

list the email addresses at the end in the same order as

the authors appear in the Author Listing. ONLY the last

email id should have the address extenstion (e.,

@virginia). For multiple authors from multiple

institutions list the author names under the title, then list

the author emails under their names. Additional

information for multiple authors can be added to the

Author Information section at the end of the paper.

 Have two 10 point blank lines between the title

portion of the paper and the paper’s body.

PAPER BODY FORMAT

I. Column Format Instructions

The title and author data is in one-column format, while the

rest of the paper is in two-column format. To accomplish

this, most word processors have a section break that is

installed to separate the one and two-column format. For

example, in Word, under the Insert menu select Breaks –

Continuous.

After you enter the title and author information enter a

few blank lines and then insert a Continuous section break.

Now you must define this section to be in two-column

format. To do this in Word, under the “Format” menu select

“Columns.” This option will open the Columns window. It

has an input box for the number of columns. Enter 2 and

then set the spacing to 0” and select equal column widths.

If you have the margin widths set correctly, the width of the

column should display as 3”. If it does not, go to the

“File” menu and select “Page Setup - Margins.” This will

open the “Page Setup” window that will allow you to set the

top and bottom margins to 1” and the right and left margins

to 0.”

II. Font and Spacing Instructions

Use the full justify option for your paragraphs, and use two-

columns for all text. The two columns must always exhibit

equal lengths and you should try to fill your last page as

much as possible. To obtain such results, you are free to

adjust the figure sizes provided this does not compromise

their clarity. Use one line of space between text and section

headings. Use one line of space between text and captions,

equations, and tables. Use the spelling and grammar

checkers. Do not use the “hyphenation” feature in Word.

Please use the following font and alignment instructions:

 Text: Use the style “First Paragraph” for the

first paragraph in each section, and “Text” for

succeeding paragraphs in the section. 10 point, Times

New Roman, full justified, single space, no blank lines

or other space between the paragraphs. Indents - first

paragraph of section - none; all other paragraphs - .25”.

Follow the examples shown in this document. DO NOT

USE SPACES TO INDENT YOUR PARAGRAPHS.

Times New Roman is not a proportional font.

 Section Headings: 10 point, Times New

Roman, bold, centered, use SMALL CAPS with paragraph

spacing of 8 points above and 8 points below. For

example, “Page Layout” on page one of this document

is a Section Heading (this style is defined under the

style menu of this document as “Section Headings”).

ISEC has a hard limit of 8 pages per full paper, and 4

pages per WIP paper. Papers cannot exceed this length.

Authors CANNOT alter margins, paragraph spacing, or

font sizes to make longer papers fit this limit. Papers

longer than 8 pages will be returned to the authors for

rewriting.

TEMPLATE USE

DO NOT ALTER THE TEMPLATE. Authors who

change margins and font sizes, do not use the requested

figure and table title formats, do not use the requested

reference format, or otherwise do not use the template will

have their paper returned to them for correction.

Formatting reminders: the first paragraph in a section

or subsection is not indented; subsequent paragraphs are first

line indented at .25”. Section headers have spacing of single

with 8 pt before and after. Subsection headers have spacing

of single with 6 pt before and after. Don’t have spaces

between paragraphs.

Other formatting issues that will result in your paper

being sent back to you to re-edit include having tables

breaking over columns, (sub) headings being separated from

the related text over column or page breaks, the use of hard

returns (the enter key) to force a column or page break (use

Insert, Break, then either Page or Column).

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” in

American English is without an “e” after the “g.” Use the

singular heading even if you have many acknowledgments.

Please put the sponsor acknowledgments in this section. Do

not use a footnote on the first page.

IEEE STANDARDS: NO LIVE LINKS AND USE EMBEDDED

FONTS

Do not have live links (URLs) in your paper. Remove the

link (right click, edit hyperlink, remove link) and then the

http:\or https:\ term. All fonts must be embedded.

Embedding typically occurs during the creation of a PDF.

IEEE requires PDF version 1.

COPYRIGHT FORM

ISEC uses the IEEE electronic copyright form. EDAS will

provide a link to the form when you upload your final paper.

You MUST sign the copyright over to IEEE to have your

paper included in the proceedings.

You MUST receive any client approvals of your paper

as soon as possible to avoid proprietary/IP issues that could

prevent your paper from being presented at ISEC.

PRESENT TO PUBLISH

You MUST present your paper at ISEC for it to be included

in the proceedings submitted for archival in IEEE Xplore.

You cannot have a non-author present your paper.

IN TEXT REFERENCES

All material from any research resource must be

accompanied by a bracketed in-text reference. This

reference must correspond to its end-text full bibliographic

information in the References section. Failure to properly

reference all resource material used in a paper leaves the

paper’s author open to charges of plagiarism.

Follow these specifications for in-text references:

 Bracket all in-text references: for example, [1].

 In text references must be numbered sequentially in

the text, beginning with [1] for the first reference. In

other words, the first source from which you quote,

paraphrase or use information must be referenced in

your paper as [1]. The next source from which your

quote, paraphrase or use information must be [2]. If in

later in your paper, you use information from the same

source and same page as [1], then your in-text reference

number will again be [1].

 Do not say “Ref. [3]” or “reference [3].” Simply use the

bracketed number thusly: [3].

 For material summarized from several sources, use the

appropriate bracketed numbers, for example [3]-[5].

 Bracketed reference numbers should appear after the

quotation marks on an in-text quote, but before the final

punctuation of the quote. For example, “Here’s the

quote” [3]. Bracketed references for paraphrases or

summaries should appear after the paraphrase or

summary, but before the final punctuation of the

sentence or passage. For example, Here’s the

paraphrased material [4].

REFERENCES

Place references in a separate References section at the end

of the paper. Number the references sequentially by order of

appearance, not alphabetically. List up to three authors’

names in a reference; replace the others by “et al.”

 Reference text: 8 point, Times New Roman,

full justified, hanging .25”, no space between the

references, tab between right bracket and the start of the

reference
