26th National Symposium on Cryogenics and Superconductivity

Guideline for Preparation of Posters and Manuscript

Poster 

A panel at a convenient height will be provided for each poster. Posters should be limited to (46.8 in (120cm) × 33.1 in (90cm)), A0 paper size.  It should be ready one hour before the start of the poster session. At the end of the poster session, posters should be removed quickly.

Guidelines

1. Keep in mind that lettering for titles, authors, headings etc. should be legible from a reasonable viewing distance.
2. Do not use excessive text boxes, a graph or a properly annotated drawing conveys far more information. Use colour but avoid gimmicks.
3. Do not pin up a photocopy, even enlarged, of your paper.

Manuscript

Authors are advised to use the JACoW Templates  in A4 paper size (MS Word for PC (.dot)  or equivalent). The templates contain styles which, when applied, will automatically ensure correct typesetting and layout. Please submit the paper only in MSWord. It will help us in editing.
