Preparation of Papers for CICED2016
First A. Author, Second B. Author, Jr., and Third C. Author
Author’s unit

Abstract—These instructions give you guidelines for
preparing papers for CICED2016. Use this document
as a template if you are using Microsoft Word 6.0 or
later. Define all symbols used in the abstract. Do notcite references in the abstract. Do not delete the blankline immediately above the abstract; it sets thefootnote at the bottom of this column.
Index Terms—About four key words or phrases inalphabetical order, separated by commas.

III. MATH

I. I NTRODUCTION
THIS document is a template for Microsoft Word
versions 6.0 or later.
Do not change the font sizes or line spacing tosqueeze more text into a limited number of pages.
Use italics for emphasis; do not underline. To insert
images in Word, position the cursor at the insertion
point and either use Insert | Picture | From File or copy
the image to the Windows clipboard and then Edit |Paste Special | Picture (with “Float over text”
unchecked).
II. PROCEDURE FOR PAPER SUBMISSION
A. Review Stage
Please check with your editor on whether to submit
your manuscript by hard copy or electronically forreview. If hard copy, submit photocopies such that
only one column appears per page. This will give yourreferees plenty of room to write comments. Send thenumber of copies specified by your editor (typicallyfour). If submitted electronically, find out if youreditor prefers submissions on disk or as e-mailattachments.
B. Final Stage
When you submit your final version, after your paper
has been accepted, print it in two-column format,
including figures and tables.
Also send a paper with complete contact information
for all authors. Include full mailing addresses,
telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses.
In addition, designate one author as the“ corresponding author.” This is the author to whom
proofs of the paper will be sent. Proofs are sent to thecorresponding author only.
C. Figures
All tables and figures will be processed as images. The
CICED2016

Session x

figures and tables you insert in your document are
only to help you gauge the size of your paper, for theconvenience of the referees, and to make it easy for
you to distribute preprints.
D. Electronic Image Files (Optional)
You will have the greatest control over the appearanceof your figures if you are able to prepare electronic
image files. If you do not have the required computer
skills, just submit paper prints as described above andskip this section.

If you are using Word, use either the Microsoft
Equation Editor or the MathType add-on for equations
in your paper (Insert | Object | Create New |Microsoft
Equation or MathType Equation). “Float over text”
should not be selected.
IV. UNITS
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SIunits are strongly encouraged.) English units may be
used as secondary units (in parentheses). This applies
to papers in data storage. For example, write “15Gb/cm 2 (100 Gb/in 2 ).” An exception is when
English units are used as identifiers in trade, such as“3½ in disk drive.” Avoid combining SI and CGS units,
such as current in amperes and magnetic
field in oersteds. This often leads to confusion because
equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must
use mixed units, clearly state the units for eachquantity in an equation. The SI unit for magnetic fieldstrength H is A/m. However, if you wish to use unitsof T, either refer to magnetic flux density B or
magnetic field strength symbolized as μ 0 H. Use
the center dot to separate compound units, e.g., “A·m
2 .”V. HELPFUL HINTS

A. Figures and Tables
All figures, figure captions, and tables can be at theend of the paper. Large figures and tables may span
both columns. Place figure captions below the figures;
place table titles above the tables. If your figure has
two parts, include the labels “(a)” and “(b)” as part of
the artwork. Please verify that the figures and tables
you mention in the text actually exist. Please do notinclude captions as part of the figures. Do not put
Page /7

2016 China International Conference on Electricity Distribution (CICED 2016) Xi’an, 10-13. Aug. 2016

captions in “text boxes” linked to the figures. Do
not put borders around the outside of your figures.
Use the abbreviation “Fig.”even at the beginning of a sentence. Do not abbreviate“Table.”Tables are numbered with Roman numerals. Color
printing of figures is available, but is billed to the
TABLE I.
B. References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets 1].
The sentence punctuation follows the brackets [2].
Multiple references [2], [3] are each numbered withseparate brackets [1]–[3]. When citing a section in abook, please give the relevant page numbers [2]. In
sentences, refer simply to the reference number, as in[3]. Do not use “Ref. [3]” or “reference [3]” except at
the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3]shows ... .” , type the reference list at the end of thepaper using the “References” style.
Number footnotes separately in superscripts (Insert |Footnote). 1 Place the actual footnote at the bottomof the column in which it is cited; do not put footnotesin the reference list (endnotes). Use letters for tablefootnotes (see Table I).
Please note that the references at the end of thisdocument are in the preferred referencing style. Give
all authors’ names; do not use “et al.” unless there are
six authors or more. Use a space after authors' initials.
Papers that have not been published should be cited as“unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been submitted for
publication should be cited as “ submitted for
publication” [5]. Papers that have been accepted for
publication, but not yet specified for an issue should
be cited as “to be published” [6]. Please giveaffiliations and addresses for private communications[7]. Capitalize only the first word in a paper title,
except for proper nouns and element symbols.
C. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they
are used in the text, even after they have already been
defined in the abstract. Do not use abbreviations in thetitle unless they are unavoidable.
D. Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation
numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, asin (1). First use the equation editor to create theequation. Then select the “Equation” markup style.
Press the tab key and write the equation number inparentheses. To make your equations more compact,
you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or
appropriate exponents. Use parentheses to avoid
ambiguities in denominators.
Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been
defined before the equation appears or immediately
following. Italicize symbols (T might refer totemperature, but T is the unit tesla). Refer to “(1),” not“Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning ofa sentence: “Equation (1) is ... .”CICED2016

E. Other Recommendations
Use one space after periods and colons. Hyphenate
complexmodifiers:“zero-field-cooledmagnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as,“ Using (1), the potential was calculated.” [It is notclear who or what used (1).] Write instead, “Thepotential was calculated by using (1),” or “Using (1),
we calculated the potential.” Use a zero before
decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm 3 ,” not“ cc.” Indicate sample dimensions as “0.1 cm × 0.2
cm,” not “0.1 × 0.2 cm 2 .” The abbreviation for“ seconds” is “s,” not “sec.” Do not mix complete
spellings and abbreviations of units: use “Wb/m 2 ” or“webers per square meter,” not “webers/m 2 .” When
expressing a range of values, write “7 to 9” or “7-9,”
not “7~9.” A parenthetical statement at the end of asentence is punctuated outside of the closing
parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence ispunctuated within the parentheses.) In American
English, periods and commas are within quotation
marks, like “this period.” Other punctuation is“ outside”! Avoid contractions; for example, write“ do not” instead of “don’t.” The serial comma ispreferred: “A, B, and C” instead of “A, B and C.”
If you wish, you may write in the first person singularor plural and use the active voice (“I observed that ...”or “We observed that ...” instead of “It was observedthat ...”). Remember to check spelling. If your native
language is not English, please get a native
English-speaking colleague to proofread your paper.
VI. SOME COMMON MISTAKESThe word “data” is plural, not singular. The subscript
for the permeability of vacuum μ 0 is zero, not alowercase letter “o.” The term for residual
magnetization is “remanence”; the adjective is“ remanent”; do not write “remnance” or “remnant.”
Use the word “micrometer” instead of “micron.” Agraph within a graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” Theword “alternatively” is preferred to the word
“alternately” (unless you really mean something thatalternates). Use the word “whereas” instead of“ while” (unless you are referring to simultaneous
events). Do not use the word “essentially” to mean
“ approximately” or “effectively.” Do not use theword “issue” as a euphemism for “problem.” Whencompositions are not specified, separate chemical
symbols by en-dashes; for example, “NiMn” indicatesthe intermetallic compound Ni 0.5 Mn 0.5 whereas“Ni–Mn” indicates an alloy of some composition Ni x
Mn 1-x . Be aware of the different meanings of thehomophones “affect” (usually a verb) and “effect”(usuallyanoun),“complement”
and“compliment,”“discreet”
and“discrete,”“ principal” (e.g., “principal investigator”) and“ principle” (e.g., “principle of measurement”). Do
not confuse “imply” and “infer.” Prefixes such as

2016 China International Conference on Electricity Distribution (CICED 2016) Xi’an, 10-13. Aug. 2016

“ non,” “sub,” “micro,” “multi,” and “"ultra” are notindependent words; they should be joined to the words
they modify, usually without a hyphen. There is no
period after the “et” in the Latin abbreviation “et al.”(it is also italicized). The abbreviation “i.e.,” means“that is,” and the abbreviation “e.g.,” means “ forexample”(theseabbreviationsarenotitalicized).

Current and previous research interests ends the paragraph.
The third paragraph begins with the author’s title and last name.
If a photograph is provided, the biography will be indented around it.
The photograph is placed at the top left of the biography. Personal
hobbies will be deleted from the biography.

VI I. CONCLUSION

A conclusion section is not required. Although aconclusion may review the main points of the paper,
do not replicate the abstract as the conclusion. A
conclusion might elaborate on the importance of thework or suggest applications and extensions.
