Final Paper Submission
The review process is nearly completed, we will inform the authors our decision very soon by 15th February.
To submit the final revised papers, please follow the Full Paper Submission tab below.
The accepted papers will be published in AIP Conference Proceedings. As the author-prepared PDFs will appear in the proceeding, please use the AIP templates, which you can find here: https://aip.scitation.org/apc/authors/preppapers.
Note: These templates are AIP Publishing standard, and you must use them for all AIP Conference Proceedings volumes. To avoid delay publication of the RGD31 Proceedings, any submission does not meet the requirements of the AIP Proceedings will be rejected.
The deadline of re-submission is 31 March 2019.
What to submit
1. A final PDF file of your paper with fonts embedded.
2. Response to the comments.
3. A signed License to Publish Agreement.
4. Copies of permissions to re-use copyrighted material.
Note: 1. please use the assigned paper number and the last name of the corresponding author as the file name when you re-submit the required files; 2. For anyone who has previously submitted the license to publish agreement, please submit it again together with the other required files.
AIP Format
AIP Conference Proceedings uses author-prepared PDFs for all published content and will not send out author proofs prior to publication. Therefore, it is important to ensure that all manuscripts are submitted in their final form and that all fonts are embedded. AIP author template packages contain comprehensive advice and guidelines for authors—including a DO’s and Don’ts checklist—all papers must be prepared abiding by these guidelines. Well-prepared manuscripts enable rapid publication and reduce unnecessary work for editors. When preparing your manuscript for AIP Conference Proceedings, please abide by the following requests:
· use your template package for Word or LaTex (enclosed).
· Do not add page numbers or headers/footers.
· Do not alter the margins of our templates.
· Paper size is 8.5 x 11.
· The paper must include the author name and full affiliation address including country.
· Use clear, legible graphics and diagrams contained within the margins.
· Do not use copyrighted material without permission and proper crediting.
· All pages are to be in portrait.
· References are prepared using our sample reference guidelines (available in the template package). References can only be linked if they are complete.
· Embed all fonts into your manuscript PDF.
