INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS Title (Times Bold 18 points). Position Flush Left with Left Justification. Author names: Print in 12 point bold type. Position flush left with left justification. You may use footnotes only for author affiliation 1 and for paper presentation information 2. If you wish to include a frontispiece (photo or line drawing) to enhance the appearance of your paper, it should be positioned here with the frontispiece starting 1.25" from the top of the page. The space allotted is for demonstration only. You may use any reasonable size artwork. Allow .25 inch between text and photo at both the top and bottom of the photo. If you do not include a frontispiece, see instructions for the abstract below the author information. Begin the abstract text two carriage returns below the end of either the author information or the frontispiece. Print the abstract text in 10 point Times italic. Position the text flush left with left justification and 1.5" left and right margins. INTRODUCTION (MAJOR HEADING) The following instructions are very specific so that the technical papers appearing in each journal will look uniform and professionally published. Instructions are given for WordPerfect; however, measurements, indents, type fonts and sizes, and justification instructions are ubiquitous and have counterparts in every available word processing program. Your objective is to produce a paper that looks like the sample provided no matter what software you are using to prepare your paper. This entire document is formatted in Times Roman: boldface, italics, all caps, and any other variation of this type face are indicated either here or on the sheets titled Requirements for Preparing a Camera-ready Manuscript. Sentences should end with two spaces after the period. Paragraphs should be indented (Tab),   with NO line space between. Start your text three carriage returns below the first major head. Position the heads and text in two columns, each measuring 3.25" wide with .25" between columns. On regular text pages, set one inch margins top, bottom, and on both sides. These are the default dimensions produced in WordPerfect two-column format with one inch margins. This setting actually produces 7/8" outside margins; however, the printer sets the camera-ready copy for one inch margins. Because SNAME may be typesetting some of the front matter on the title page, 3.5" from the top of the page should be allowed for the title and the author information. For graphic illustrations of the front matter format, refer to the top of page one of these sample formatted pages. 1 Author affiliation information should be listed with one footnote number per author in eight points Times font. 2 Paper presentation information should be indicated in the footnotes following those for author information in eight point Times font. Body Text (Subheading) Set all body text in Times Roman ten point type, single spaced, with full justification, and paragraph indents set at .25 inch. On all regular text pages, your paper will have two columns, each measuring 3.25" wide, 9" long, with .25" between columns. Use automatic numbering to number pages in the center bottom of each page. About Graphics (Sub-subheading) Imbedded graphics are the preferable form of submission for all materials except for photographs. Please note that computer generated photographs are unacceptable, however, if you photo reduce charts and figures, any text should have a final size not smaller than eight points or it will be too hard to read and may not print well. The footnotes on page one of this sample are printed in eight point Times. For specific instructions regarding photos, illustrations, graphs, figures, and tables, please refer to the "Requirements for Preparing a Camera-ready Manuscript," section five. References You may used any standard reference format as long as you remain consistent throughout your paper. Two formats are used most frequently. The most contemporary and preferred format is the "author-date" style in which references are cited in the text by author name(s) and date of publication. For example: (Smith & Jones 1989). The corresponding reference   list is arranged alphabetically by the primary author's name. References may also be noted by sequential numbers in square brackets [ ] in the text, with the references following the document in the order in which they occur in the text. Use endnotes rather than footnotes because the necessary type size for footnotes can be difficult to read. About Headings Format MAJOR HEADINGS in ten point BOLD CAPS, in either italicized or normal font types. Leave one carriage return below major heading titles, and leave two carriage returns at the end of sections before the next major heading title. Subheadings should be ten point, bold, upper and lower case, with one (1) space above and none below. Each sub-subheading should be ten point, capitalized upper and lower case as if it is a title. As with subheadings, leave one carriage return above and no spaces below. If you use bullets, use a "small bullet" character.
