 This document provides style guidelines for authors submitting

papers to the annual ORSNZ

conference. These guidelines are based on the \LaTeX\ 

article style, but can be followed using most word processors.

\section{Layout Guidelines}



Papers submitted for inclusion in the proceedings of the Annual ORSNZ

Conference should conform to the following

guidelines as closely as possible. Authors are responsible for preparing

their documents in ``camera-ready'' form; laser-printer or

similar quality is expected. Good quality originals are important as the

pages are to be reduced from A4 to A5 in size. Authors are also requested to check the ORSNZ homepage, www.esc.auckland.ac.nz/Organisations/ORSNZ, for information on submitting a Web-ready version.



To help those authors writing their papers using

\LaTeX\ we have provided a sample document which shows the \LaTeX\

instructions required. For authors using other wordprocessors, this document

specifies the font sizes and spacings required.



Your paper should use A4 paper with 2.5cm margins top and

bottom, and 3cm margins left and right; this leaves 15cm of text per line. Do not put page numbers on your paper, but instead write the page

numbers using a light pencil on the reverse of each page. Papers are expected

to be no longer than 10 pages.



The title should be centred in 24 point Times. Author names and

information should also be centred, in 14pt Times, and separated from the

title by one line.



A solid line should be placed above and below the abstract, with the word

``Abstract'' centred in 18 point bold Times. The abstract body should be

justified in 12 point Times using a line spacing of 15 points. (If you can't

get 15 point line-spacing, please use single line spacing.)



\subsection{Section Headings}

Each section should be numbered and named, with section titles in 18 point

bold Times and sub-section titles in 14 point bold Times. There should be a

20 point space above and an 8 point space below each section title (or 1

line above and below if you can't achieve this). 



The body text should be justified 12 point Times on a line of 15 points.

(As before, use single line spacing if you can't get 15 point

spacing.) Paragraphs following a heading should {\it not} be indented.

Subsequent paragraphs should have a 6mm indent with no spacing above or

below the paragraph. Footnotes\footnote{Footnotes should appear in 10

point Times, with a short line separating them from the text.} should be

numbered consecutively through the document. 



Diagrams and tables should be included in-line with the text as near to the

first point of reference as possible.  They

should be centred and have consecutively numbered and centred captions in 12

point Times.  Remember that the copy will be reduced for printing so

avoid overly small type in your diagrams.



References should be numbered in the text \cite{MyRef}, and appear

alphabetically ordered at the end of the article in the style shown.



To aid legibility and

consistency, all text should be in Times; the use of multiple fonts is

distracting. The use of all capitals slows reader comprehension and should

be avoided. Do not use underlining -- italics should be used

if emphasis is required in the text. And please remember to use a spelling

checker.
