General Instructions
Manuscripts must be in two-column format. Exceptions to the
two-column format include the title, authors’ names and complete
addresses, which must be centered at the top of the first page, and
any full-width figures or tables (see the guidelines in
Subsection \ref{ssec:first}). Type single-spaced. Start all
pages directly under the top margin. See the guidelines later
regarding formatting the first page. The manuscript should be
printed single-sided and its length
should not exceed the maximum page limit described in Section \ref{sec:length}.
Do not number the pages.
Electronically-available resources
We strongly prefer that you prepare your PDF files using LaTeX with the
official KONVENS 2018 style file (konvens2018.sty) and bibliography style
(konvens2018.bst). These files are available at
https://www.oeaw.ac.at/ac/konvens2018/. You will also find the document
you are currently reading (konvens2018.pdf) and its LaTeX source code
(konvens2018.tex) on this website.
You can alternatively use Microsoft Word to produce your PDF file. In this case,
we strongly recommend the use of the Word template file (konvens2018.dot) on the
KONVENS 2018 website. If you have an option, we recommend that you use the
LaTeX2e version. If you will be using the Microsoft Word template, we suggest
that you anonymize your source file so that the pdf produced does not retain
your identity. This can be done by removing any personal information from your
source document properties.
Format of Electronic Manuscript
For the production of the electronic manuscript you must use Adobe’s
Portable Document Format (PDF). PDF files are usually produced from
LaTeX using the pdflatex command. If your version of
LaTeX produces Postscript files, you can convert these into PDF
using ps2pdf or dvipdf . On Windows, you can also use
Adobe Distiller to generate PDF.
Please make sure that your PDF file includes all the necessary fonts
(especially tree diagrams, symbols, and fonts with Asian
characters). When you print or create the PDF file, there is usually
an option in your printer setup to include none, all or just
non-standard fonts. Please make sure that you select the option of
including ALL the fonts. Before sending it, test your PDF by
printing it from a computer different from the one where it was
created. Moreover, some word processors may generate very large PDF
files, where each page is rendered as an image. Such images may
reproduce poorly. In this case, try alternative ways to obtain the
PDF. One way on some systems is to install a driver for a postscript
printer, send your document to the printer specifying “Output to a
file”, then convert the file to PDF.
It is of utmost importance to specify the A4 format (21 cm
x 29.7 cm) when formatting the paper. When working with
dvips, for instance, one should specify -t a4.
Print-outs of the PDF file on A4 paper should be identical to the
hardcopy version. If you cannot meet the above requirements about the
production of your electronic submission, please contact the
publication chairs as soon as possible.
Layout
Format manuscripts two columns to a page, in the manner these
instructions are formatted. The exact dimensions for a page on A4
paper are:
-
Left and right margins: 2.5 cm
-
Top margin: 2.5 cm
-
Bottom margin: 2.5 cm
-
Column width: 7.7 cm
-
Column height: 24.7 cm
-
Gap between columns: 0.6 cm
Papers should not be submitted on any other paper size. If you cannot
meet the above requirements about the production of your electronic submission,
please contact the publication chairs above as soon as possible.
Fonts
For reasons of uniformity, Adobe’s Times Roman font should be
used. The style file has been adjusted (2015-06-16) so that
the above commands are included.
Please remove any command to use the times package from your
LaTeX source.
