Tips for preparing your proceedings manuscripts (2009.5.1)

We found that some of the submitted manuscripts use a style different from that required for AIP conference proceedings. For example, they lack abstract, keywords, and/or they use different citation style (numerical citation style should be used in the manuscripts).

Some tips for preparing your manuscripts are shown below.

1. Instructions, templates, and macros should be downloaded from ftp://ftp.aip.org/ems/tex/macros/proceedings/6x9/aipproc_6s.zip

2. Edit "template-6s.tex" to write your manuscript.

3. The list of references can either be produced by using (1) a standard LATEX method (thebibliography) or (2) BIBTEX. For more detail, please refer page 8 of "aipguide-6s.pdf".

4. Please use a cite command to refer an article in the references. Numerical citation style should be used in the manuscripts. For more detail about cite commands, please refer page 8 of "aipguide-6s.pdf"

5. In the template file (template-6s.tex), BIBTEX is chosen to be used. If you choose to use BIBTEX, please specify your own bibtex database at "\bibliography{}" command (line 346 of template-6s.tex). A template file for the bibtex database is "sample.bib", so you may edit, rename this file to create your bibtex database.

6. Example of thebibliography is shown below \end{document} command of the template file (from line 371 of template-6s.tex). So if you choose to use thebibliography to create the list of references,

   1. Delete (or comment out) the BIBTex example in the template file (line 340--361), and

   2. Move "\end{document}" command (line 363) after the command "\end{thebibliography}" (line 391),

   3. Edit \bibitem commands (line 373-389) to create the list of references.
