Preparing your paper

IOP Conference Series uses author-supplied PDFs for all online and print publication. Authors are asked to prepare their papers using Microsoft Word or LaTeX, according to the journal guidelines and templates, and then convert these files to PDF. Full instructions on preparing your paper, along with templates, are available on the IOP Conference Series Author Page. Please review all information and available files carefully.

It is important to ensure that when you submit your paper, it is in its final form ready for publication, and has been thoroughly proofread. IOP does not copyedit papers and will not send out author proofs prior to publication. Please note: post-publication changes are not usually permitted, unless there are exceptional circumstances, so please ensure your paper has been checked for errors.

  • Use European A4 sized paper with at least a 25mm margin
  • Ensure that your paper includes an abstract
  • Do not add any page numbers, headers or footers to your article
  • Adhere to the page limits
  • Conduct a thorough proofread to check the standard of English and ensure wording is clear and concise
• Any multimedia files you wish to publish online
  • JPCS encourages authors to submit multimedia files to enhance the online versions of published research articles.

Any author who wishes to publish in the IOP Conference Series must agree to the terms of the licence and by submitting a paper for publication it is assumed all authors of the paper agree, in full, to the terms of the licence.
