General
- Papers must be written in English.
- The number of pages permitted are 2 or 3 pages for each presentation (6 pages manuscript is permitted for invited presentation, and 4 pages manuscript is permitted for maker presentation). However, those intending to submit a paper for post-conference proceedings (described later) are strongly recommended to prepare on-site proceedings of two or three pages. This is because the post-conference proceedings manuscript is intended as an upgraded version of the on-site proceedings manuscript.

- Clear font style and size, such as 10.5 point Times New Roman, is recommended so that all the letters in the text and in the figures are not smaller than 0.33cm (1/8 in.). 9-12 point Times New Roman is permitted if you don't have 10.5 point type. Either typewriter or word-processing type is permitted as long as type is clear and high contrasts.
- Papers must be laid out double column and typed in single space with appropriate spacing between paragraphs, sections, chapters and so on.

- Don't write any page number. ISSP Office numbers the page penetrating the proceedings.
Figures, Tables and Photographs
- All figures and photographs should be sized and placed in the paper. DON'T put figures and photographs at the end of your manuscript. They should be clear and high contrast originals. Since the on-site proceedings will be provided via CD-ROM, use of color photographs and figures is recommended.
- Lines should be bold, and figures, symbols, letters should be large (9-12 point type is recommended) and well spaced for reading easily.
- Roman numerals should be used for tables and Arabic numerals for figures. Table captions should be centered above the tables. Figure captions should be centered below the figures. Where possible, figures and tables should be horizontally on the page.
References
- References to other papers should be consecutively numbered and listed at the end of the paper.
- Please consult this page for the recommended style of ISSP.
Corrections
- Authors should check their own manuscript carefully for typographical errors and small changes. The ISSP committee will NOT correct your manuscript. If your native language is not English, it is recommended to ask natives to check the manuscript.
- Papers received by ISSP committee are considered to be in final form as a camera ready manuscript.
- ISSP committee will make no correction for your manuscript.
It should be noted that manuscript that does not meet the above requirements may not be included in the on-site proceedings.
