Please make sure that your paper does not contain non-English font packages (for example, Japanese, Korean or Chinese fonts, etc.) in the body of your paper summary, as well as in all figures and tables. Characters in these fonts cannot be seen by reviewers. In the past, we have had particular trouble with MS-PGothic, MS-Gothic and MS-Mincho.

Layout recommendations for the two-page summary:
– Paper size: A4 format (210mm X 297mm)
– Margins: left & right = 25 mm, top & bottom = 25 mm
– Format: Acrobat (*.pdf) file
– Title: use 14pt Times bold letters centred on the page, elements and acronyms should be capitalized.
– list all authors’ names, organisation/affiliation & mailing address under the title:

Centre author name(s) on one line. Use 10-point, bold font. Author names should include first and middle names or initials followed by surname. Their affiliations must be indicated through the use of appropriate superscripts.
Centre author affiliation(s) on the following lines. Use 8-point, italic font. Affiliations should follow the format: division, organization, address. Do not use abbreviations.

– Introductory Text
Please be concise in your presentation, highlighting what is novel and original about your submission. Do not repeat the separate 35-40 word abstract.
– Main text
The first line of the first paragraph of a section or subsection should start flush left. The first line of subsequent paragraphs within the section or subsection should be indented 0.5 cm.
– Tables
Tables should be centred and numbered consecutively. Table titles should be centred above the table and in a 10-point font. If the title is more than one line, it should have margins that match the width of the table. Tables should be positioned as close as possible to where they are mentioned in the main text.
– Figures
Greyscale or colour figures should be placed as close as possible to where they are mentioned in the text. All the figures should be centred, except for small figures less than 6 cm in width, which may be placed side by side. No part of a figure should extend beyond the typing area. Text should not wrap around figures.
Figure captions should be centred beneath figures and in an 8-point font. Figure captions should be indented 1 cm on both sides and justified on both right and left sides.
– Equations
Equations should be centred, unless they are so long that less than 1 cm will be left between the end of the equation and the equation number, in which case they may run on to the next line. Equation numbers should only appear to the right of the last line of the equation, in parentheses. For long equations, the equation number may appear on the next line. For very long equations, the right side of the equation should be broken into approximately equal parts and aligned to the right of the equal sign.
– References
References should appear at the end of the article in the order in which they are referenced in the body of the paper. The font should be 8 point, and the references should be aligned left.
Within the main text, references should be designated by a number in brackets [1], and they should precede a comma or period [2]. Two references cited at once should be included together [2,3], separated by a comma, while three or more consecutive references should be indicated by the bounding numbers and a dash [1–3].
For journal articles, authors are listed first, followed by the article’s full title in quotes, the journal’s title abbreviation, the volume number in bold, page number, and the year in parentheses.

For citation of proceedings, follow the individual proceedings format:

[4] Author(s), “Title of paper,” in Title of Proceeding, Ed(s) Name(s), Proc. format ……

– Miscellaneous
Acknowledgments, job descriptions and footnotes should not be included in the summary.
Do not add any page number. Do not use hyphens at the end of a line.

Your contribution is properly submitted after performing all the steps only. You will get a proper success message online and by email.

Please take care of the following hints:
• Do not use CAPITAL WORDS for example in author names or the title (except for common acronyms).
Examples:
Do not write TRANSPORT AND OPTICS IN HIGH MAGNETIC FIELDS but Transport and optics in high Magnetic fields. Do not write PETER SMITH but Peter Smith
Do not write EUROPEAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY, Mulhouse, FRANCE but European Physical Society, Mulhouse, France
However write C.N.R.S.

• Be sure to not exchange the first name and the surname. Otherwise you will be listed by your first name in the author index.

• Prefer to use full first names. Middle initials can be added after the first name. Do not state academic titles.

• Submit all the authors’ information and add as many authors as required.

The person registering the submission is entirely responsible for entering the full and correct list of all the authors. EPS will not manipulate or edit papers.

Corrections by the submitters are authorized until the given deadline is reached. After that deadline the review process will begin and no change can any longer be brought.

Since contributed papers are selected on the basis of the summary, it should convey the original results in a succinct manner rather than describe the research topic.

Any of the following conditions may result in rejection of a paper:
– failure to submit the paper by the deadline date
– failure to complete the required fields on the web based submission form
– failure to follow the compulsory layout recommendations (a short abstract, a two-page summary in pdf format).

Important note:
The submitter needs to enter the complete authors’ information including himself/herself in case she/he is also a co-author. The submitter is entirely responsible for entering the full and correct list of all the authors. The presenter clearly needs to be marked. List the authors as per your wished order.

The submitter is authorized to bring any change (two-page summary, 35-word abstract, list of authors) until the submission deadline. After that deadline the review process will begin and no change can any longer be brought. Please note that the EPS will not manipulate or edit papers.

No additional manuscript will be required. Since contributed papers are selected on the basis of the summary, it should convey the original results in a succinct manner rather than describe the research topic.

The date and time for presentation will be determined after the programme committee has reviewed the papers.

Authors will be notified whether their papers have been accepted by the given notification deadline. Notifications will be sent to the email address as given during the electronic submission.

Presentation types:
The conference will feature oral sessions with invited talks (25 min plus 5 min discussion) and contributed talks (12 min plus 3 min discussion) and poster sessions. Upon the regular submission, authors had to select the options of “Oral or poster” or “Poster only”. Selection of “Poster only” indicated that the author was not willing to present an oral presentation. Selection of “Oral or poster” indicated that the author might be eligible to present an oral or a poster. The program committee evaluated all submissions in strict peer review. Since competition was usually high, submitters had the best chances of success if they had chosen “Oral or poster”, which was the recommended selection.
For postdeadlines, only an oral session is available.
