1. Introduction*

(10 pt) Here introduce the paper, and put a nomenclature if necessary, in a box with the same font size as the rest of the paper. The paragraphs continue from here and are only separated by headings, subheadings, images and formulae. The section headings are arranged by numbers, bold and 10 pt. Here follows further instructions for authors.Ciência & Tecnologia dos Materiais accepts 1) Original Research Papers (Regular Papers); 2) Review Articles; and 3) Technical Notes.Manuscripts should be preferentially written in

1.1. Structure

Files should be in MS Word format only and should be formatted for direct printing. Figures and tables should be embedded and not supplied separately. Please make sure that you use as much as possible normal fonts in your documents. Special fonts, such as fonts used in the Far East (Japanese, Chinese, Korean,

Author/ Ciência & Tecnologia dos Materiais 27 (2015) 01–80

etc.) may cause problems during processing. To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the ‘spellchecker’ function of MS Word. Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text (including figures and tables), Acknowledgements, References, Appendix. Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article and do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. Please do not alter the formatting and style layouts which have been set up in this template document. As indicated in the template, papers should be prepared in double column format suitable for direct printing onto 210 mm x 280 mm. Do not number pages on the front, as page numbers will be added separately. Leave a line clear between paragraphs.

1.1. Tables

All tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals. Headings should be placed above tables, left justified. Only horizontal lines should be used within a table, to distinguish the column headings from the body of the table, and immediately above and below the table. Tables must be embedded into the text and not supplied separately. Below is an example which authors may find useful.

And another entry 3 4

And another entry 5 6

1.2. Construction of references

References should be listed at the end of the paper. Authors should ensure that every reference in the text appears in the list of references and vice versa. Put the reference numbers in brackets “[ ]” and number them in the text using the order on which they are first cited.Some examples of how your references should be listed are given at the end of this template in the ‘References’ section which will allow you to assemble your reference list according to the correct format and font size.

1.3. Section headings

Section headings should be left justified, with the first letter capitalized and numbered consecutively, starting with the Introduction. Sub-section headings should be in capital and lower-case italic letters, numbered 1.1, 1.2, etc, and left justified, with second and subsequent lines indented. You may need to insert a page break to keep a heading with its text.

1.4. General guidelines for the preparation of your text

Avoid hyphenation at the end of a line. Symbols denoting vectors and matrices should be indicated in bold type. Scalar variable names should normally be expressed using italics. Weights and measures should be expressed in SI units. Please title your files in this order conferenceacrynom_authorslastname.pdf

1.5. Footnotes

Footnotes should be avoided if possible. Necessary footnotes should be denoted in the text by consecutive superscript letters. The footnotes should be typed single spaced, and in smaller type size (8pt), at the foot of the page in which they are mentioned, and separated from the main text by a short line extending at the foot of the column.

2. Author Artwork

All figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals (1,2,...n). All photographs, schemes, graphs and diagrams are to be referred to as figures. Line drawings should be good quality scans or true electronic output. Low-quality scans are not acceptable. Figures must be embedded into the text and not supplied separately.Figures should be prepared taking into account that the printed version will be in black and white. Only the online version may have figures in color.Lettering and symbols should be clearly defined either in the caption or in a legend provided as part of the figure. Whenever possible, figures should be placed at the top or bottom of a page, as close as possible to the first reference to them in the paper.The figure number and caption should be typed below the illustration in 8pt and left justified.
