Manuscripts accepted for publication in the ICT2010 Proceedings will appear in a special issue of the Journal of Electronic Materials (JEM). [1]JEM submission guidelines [2] should be followed.
Please submit your paper formatted in one coloumn, double spaced. This is important for the further processing steps.
Contrary to the guidelines, abstracts can have up to 200 words, if desired (this is the only exception we are allowed).
There has been some confusion about the page limit, which we would like to clarify:
JEM has no limitations on the number of pages for their regularly published papers, and their submission system has no way of enforcing a limit for this special issue. Limiting your submission to 4 typeset pages (not 4 double spaced pages as submitted) is a traditional recommendation from the ITS to keep the proceedings at a reasonable size (remember, there are close to 400 submissions).
According to JEM, there is no sure way for them to tell how many pages a paper will have until the final typeset (due to the different number of pictures, their size, formulas, etc.). Therefore we can only encourage you to use your own best judgement when writing your paper. Otherwise, when in doubt, follow the guidelines.
