INTRODUCTION [Main heading 12pt bold caps]<br />
[One line space below main headings]<br />
These instructi<strong>on</strong>s are for authors of papers at the Internati<strong>on</strong>al <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>Calcium</strong><br />
Aluminate Cements 2008 at Avign<strong>on</strong>, France from 30 June to 2 July 2008. They are laid<br />
out exactly as your paper should appear. If you are unsure about any aspect of the<br />
layout or format of your paper, make the appearance as close as possible to these<br />
instructi<strong>on</strong>s. If you have any queries, c<strong>on</strong>tact the <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> organisers or Nick Clarke at<br />
IHS BRE Press (Tel: +44 (0)1923 664170, email: nick.clarke@ihs.com.<br />
<str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> proceedings must be published rapidly: poorly presented and late papers<br />
jeopardize the schedule for the whole book.<br />
Your paper should be no l<strong>on</strong>ger than 12 pages, including figures and tables. If you<br />
c<strong>on</strong>sider that more pages are needed, you should check with the <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> organisers that<br />
this is acceptable.<br />
Send your paper as a Microsoft Word file, accompanied by a hard copy printout that<br />
matches the Word file exactly, to the <str<strong>on</strong>g>C<strong>on</strong>ference</str<strong>on</strong>g> organisers by a fast, reliable method,<br />
securely packed. Keep a copy for reference in case of any queries.<br />
If you are writing your paper with other authors, make sure that they see these<br />
instructi<strong>on</strong>s and are aware of the copyright requirements discussed later.<br />

TEXT<br />
Paper, layout and printing [Sub-heading 12 pt bold u/l case]<br />
Use A4 paper (210 297mm), not Letter (8.5” 11”). Use the full depth and width of the<br />
typing area, but do not put any text or illustrati<strong>on</strong>s outside the margins. For printing, the<br />
pages will be reduced to about 82% to normal book size.<br />
Style and spacing of text, headings and other features<br />
Use the following details for your paper:<br />
Margins and text area: set the left, right, top and bottom margins at 30 mm, giving<br />
a text area of 235 150 mm, and the header and footer to 15 mm.<br />
Tabs: set tabs at 10 mm.<br />
Text: use 12 point Times Roman, single line spacing and (full) left and right<br />
justificati<strong>on</strong>. Use bold emphasis sparingly. Use capital letters for main headings,<br />
and for the first letter <strong>on</strong>ly of sub-headings, capti<strong>on</strong>s, names and proper nouns.<br />
Title and author: keep the title short and clear (no more than 10 words). Include<br />
initials and family name <strong>on</strong>ly (A B Brown), without titles or qualificati<strong>on</strong>s. Include<br />
the name of your organisati<strong>on</strong>, postal address, city and country.<br />
Abstract and keywords: maximum 200 words. Start five lines below the last author<br />
affiliati<strong>on</strong>. Indent both sides by 10 mm. Below the abstract, include up to six<br />
keywords or phrases in alphabetical order, describing the key topics covered.<br />
Headings: main headings should be in bold capitals, centred, with two blank lines<br />
above and <strong>on</strong>e below. Sub-headings should be bold upper and lower case, ranged<br />
left, with <strong>on</strong>e blank line above. If a heading falls at the foot of the page or with <strong>on</strong>ly<br />
<strong>on</strong>e line of text below, move it <strong>on</strong> to the next page. Sub-sub-headings in italic or<br />
roman type. Do not use underlining for headings or for emphasis.<br />
Paragraphs: indent the first line of paragraphs, apart from the paragraph below each<br />
heading, which should be ‘full out’. Do not leave blank lines between paragraphs.<br />
Lists: Use Arabic numerals (1. 2. 3.) or small bullet points (). Indent each item as<br />
in this list. Leave a blank line below lists, but no space between the items.<br />
Tables<br />
Put tables in the text, so<strong>on</strong> after where they are menti<strong>on</strong>ed. They should be aligned left<br />
and generally look best at the top or bottom of the page. Keep tables simple and compact;<br />
do not space them out to fill the page width. Use 10 pt Times Roman (or 9 pt if a table is<br />
large or complex). Centre the entries in each column.<br />

Put the table number and capti<strong>on</strong> <strong>on</strong> the line above the table, ranged left. Leave <strong>on</strong>e blank<br />
line above the capti<strong>on</strong> and <strong>on</strong>e below the table. If a very large table will not fit upright <strong>on</strong><br />
the page, put it sideways or ‘landscape’ <strong>on</strong> a separate page with the capti<strong>on</strong> in the same<br />
orientati<strong>on</strong>, but avoid this arrangement if possible.<br />
Equati<strong>on</strong>s, symbols and units<br />
Display equati<strong>on</strong>s indented with <strong>on</strong>e blank line above and below. Number equati<strong>on</strong>s in<br />
parentheses <strong>on</strong> the right margin without dot leaders. Using simple tables for equati<strong>on</strong>s can<br />
help with aligning them neatly.<br />

Use SI units. If other units are needed, give SI equivalents in parentheses, or include a<br />
c<strong>on</strong>versi<strong>on</strong> table as an appendix or footnote. Leave <strong>on</strong>e space between the value and the<br />
unit, e.g. 23 MPa, apart from %, i.e. 20%.<br />
ILLUSTRATIONS<br />
General<br />
Clear, well laid-out illustrati<strong>on</strong>s make your paper attractive and interesting, but tiny,<br />
unreadable or poorly scanned diagrams will deter readers. Coloured diagrams and<br />
photographs may reproduce very badly in black and white.<br />
Line diagrams<br />
Line diagrams should be clear and simple. The proceedings will be printed in black and<br />
white so do not use colour to distinguish between different areas, plots or lines – use<br />
symbols, tints or line styles instead. When your paper is reduced for printing, faint lines,<br />
tiny lettering, hatching and tints may be unreadable. To check if your diagrams will appear<br />
clearly, print them out and photocopy them in black and white at a reducti<strong>on</strong> of 82%.<br />

Author surnames in left page header, sec<strong>on</strong>d page <strong>on</strong>: Green and Brown<br />
<strong>on</strong> diagrams should be in a sans serif typeface such as Arial, Helvetica or Univers for<br />
clarity and readability. Do not put boxes round diagrams.<br />
On charts derived from spreadsheets, use black tints and t<strong>on</strong>es rather than colours, and<br />
use distinctively shaped markers, not coloured <strong>on</strong>es.<br />
Photographs<br />
Photographs should be carefully selected, high-resoluti<strong>on</strong> black and white images with<br />
good c<strong>on</strong>trast. Crop them to help the readers c<strong>on</strong>centrate <strong>on</strong> the key features. The<br />
Proceedings will be printed in black and white, so if your original images are coloured,<br />
c<strong>on</strong>vert them to black and white (greyscale). On any micrographs or photographs where<br />
the scale is important, include a scale bar as part of the image, or make the scale clear in<br />
the capti<strong>on</strong> (eg ‘image width 50 μm’). Do not put ‘magnificati<strong>on</strong> ×50’ as this will change<br />
when the paper is reduced for printing.<br />
Positi<strong>on</strong> and capti<strong>on</strong><br />
Put illustrati<strong>on</strong>s so<strong>on</strong> after they are menti<strong>on</strong>ed in the text. Align them <strong>on</strong> the left margin.<br />
If an illustrati<strong>on</strong> is narrow (less than about half the width of the column) the text can wrap<br />
around it, but if it is wider than this, keep the text above and below the image.<br />
Each figure must have a short descriptive<br />
capti<strong>on</strong> in 10pt Times Roman. Number all<br />
diagrams, figures and photos sequentially,<br />
Fig. 1, Fig. 2 etc. Do not number<br />
photographs separately as ‘Plates’.<br />
Leave a blank line below the capti<strong>on</strong>.<br />
Capti<strong>on</strong>s should be aligned to the left<br />
margin, and should be the same width as<br />
the illustrati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
