Introduction

These guidelines are intended to assist you with preparation of your camera-ready proceedings manuscript. A Postscript file of a sample manuscript is available for downloading and printing.

Manuscript Paper

Due to changes in printing technology, SPIE no longer uses preprinted mats. Please submit your manuscript on good-quality white paper. If possible, use US standard 8.5 x 11 in. paper. If you use A4 paper, be sure to adjust the margins to adhere to SPIE specifications. Write the author's last name and manuscript code number on the center of the back of each page, as well as the page number.

Manuscript length and submission procedures

The recommended length for proceedings manuscripts is 8-12 pages. Short summaries, abstracts, or viewgraphs are not acceptable. There is a service charge of $30 for each additional manuscript page over 12. If your manuscript is over 12 pages, please complete the Service Charge Invoice form and return it to SPIE. Please send your original manuscript flat and protected against damage to:

SPIE/Ukrainian Chapter of SPIE
45 prospekt Nauki, 03028 Kiev, Ukraine (for Postal mail)
journal@spie.org.ua (for E-mail)

A copy of your manuscript should be sent to the Conference Chair(s). Upon receipt, manuscripts and illustrations become the property of SPIE and will not be returned to the author.

Type Specifications

Laser printers and other high-resolution printers

Use a laser printer with resolution of at least 300 dots per inch or a letter-quality printer. All text and illustrations must appear within a 7 x 9 inch (178 x 229 mm) area. For U.S. standard size paper (8.5 x 11 inches), set margins to .75 in. (18 mm) left and right, and 1 in. (24 mm) top and bottom. For A4 paper, set margins to 17 mm left and right, 25 mm top and 45 mm bottom. We recommend 10-point Times Roman or equivalent typeface for the main text. Use boldface or italic for emphasis only. Single-space all text, allowing extra space between paragraphs. The proper font sizes to be used in various situations are as follows:

Article title:................................…16 pt, bold
Author names, affiliations.........….12 pt
Section heading.........................….11 pt, bold
Subsection heading.....................…10 pt, bold
Normal text.................................…10 pt
Footnote text................................…9 pt

Keyword List

SPIE is in the process of converting our publications database into a searchable electronic format. To this end, we ask that you insert a list of up to 10 keywords of your choice between the abstract and the text proper. Your compliance with this request is greatly appreciated and will ensure that your paper is indexed appropriately.

Manuscript Corrections

If you must make a correction(s) to your manuscript after sending it to SPIE, send a camera-ready replacement page(s) to SPIE. Include your code number, a letter with explicit directions, and a marked photocopy of the original page showing the exact location of the correction. We will substitute your replacement page. Please do not call with corrections; you must provide camera-ready corrections to your manuscript. SPIE will make every effort to accommodate your corrections up to the time the book goes to press.

Preparations of Camera-Ready Illustrations

Proper figure preparation is essential for optimum reproduction of line drawings and photographs. Figures positioned on the manuscript page will be reproduced full size. Figures should be clear and legible but sized to make economical use of space. Similar or related figures should be of uniform size with uniform lettering. All figures should be called out in the text as well as properly labeled and captioned.

Black-and-white illustrations (line art)

These should be original artwork (pen-and-ink or computer generated) and sized to scale. High-quality photocopies may be used. Paste line drawings in position on the manuscript and make all lettering, symbols, lines, etc., in black ink.

Continuous-tone photographs and illustrations

For best reproduction of photographs, SPIE suggests that authors submit continuous-tone photographs, sized and pasted into place in the manuscript. If you are unable to provide an appropriately sized image, submit your original photographs with your manuscript and SPIE will handle sizing and reproduction. Digital halftones produced on a laser printer are also acceptable. Original photos will not be returned.

Pasting up figures

If photographic images or other illustrations are submitted separately, be sure to leave sufficient space for the photograph or line drawing in your manuscript and type the figure caption in position on the manuscript. Enclose original photographs or drawings, clearly labeling each one on the back with your code number, figure number, manuscript page number, and correct orientation of the figure. To attach figures to your manuscript paper, use rubber cement, pressure-sensitive wax, or white graphics tape. Do not use clear tape over the image area. Figures may be pasted within the text or at the end of the manuscript.

Color illustrations

Authors must pay the costs necessary to produce color separations and print color figures in the proceedings. If color reproduction is essential to your paper, please return a completed Color Figures Form with your manuscript.
