Camera-ready Preparation

Copyright form

All authors submitting papers must grant Springer specific permission to publish the work "consent to publish" (CTP).

• Print the CTP form, available here.
• Write the title of your paper as well as the names of the authors at the top of the form and sign it.
• Prepare a scanned version of the CTP form in a PDF file

LaTex Manuscript

• Use the LaTex template, available here.
  • You can add packages to this template but do not remove any that are already included.
• If your manuscript is separated into several .tex files, combine them into a single, cohesive .tex file before the submission.
  • Bibliography can be submitted separately as .bib (see bibliotest.bib in the zip) or included in your main .tex file (do not use \input, \include or \externaldocument).
  • Figures should be placed in the directory containing the .tex manuscript (not in subdirectories). Therefore, the \includegraphics command should contain only the filename, es.:
    \includegraphics[<options>]{figure_name}
  • We accept only EPS and TIFF (at least 600 dpi) files.
  • Since figures are uploaded separately from your .tex file, remove EPS figures generated in the LaTeX file.
• Generate the PDF file

Word Manuscript

• Format the manuscript according to the Word template available here.
