numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as
in (1). To make your equations more compact, you
may use the solidus (/), the exp function, or
appropriate exponents. Italicize Roman symbols for
quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use
an en dash () rather than a hyphen for a minus sign.
Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators.
Punctuate equations with commas or periods when
they are part of a sentence, as in
abc (1)
Symbols in your equation should be defined before
the equation appears or immediately following. Use
“(1),” not “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the
beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is ...”

participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was
calculated.” Write instead, “The potential was
calculated using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the
potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.”
Use “cm3,” not “cc.” Do not mix complete spellings
and abbreviations of units: “Wb/m 2” or “webers per
square meter.” not “webers/m2.” Spell units when
they appear in text: “...a few henries,” not “...a few
H.” If your native language is not English, try to get a
native English-speaking colleague to proofread your
paper. Do not add page numbers.
4. Units
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI
units are encouraged.) English units may be used as
secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would
be the use of English units as identifiers in trade, such
as “3.5-inch disk drive.”
Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current
in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often
leads to confusion because equations do not balance
dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly
state the units for each quantity that you use in an
equation.
5. Some Common Mistakes
The word “data” is plural, not singular. The
subscript for the permeability of vacuum is zero, not a
lowercase letter “o.” in American English, periods and
commas are within quotation marks, like “this
period.” a parenthetical statement at the end of a
sentence is punctuated outside of the closing
parenthesis (like this). (a parenthetical sentence is
punctuated within the parentheses.) a graph within a
graph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” the word
alternatively is preferred to the word “alternately”
(unless you mean something that alternates). do not
use the word “essentially” to mean “approximately” or
4
“effectively.” be aware of the different meanings of
the homophones “affect” and “effect,” “complement”
and “compliment,” “discreet” and “discrete,”
“principal” and “principle.” do not confuse “imply”
and “infer.” the prefix “non” is not a word; it should
be joined to the word it modifies, usually without a
hyphen. there is no period after the “et” in the latin
abbreviation “et al.” the abbreviation “i.e.” means
“that is,” and the abbreviation “e.g.” means “for
example.” an excellent style manual for science
writers is [7].
6. Conclusions
Please present a conclusion of your work in this
part. Every paper submitted to our journal should have
this part, though some other journals may not have the
“Conclusions”.
Acknowledgments
The preferred spelling of the word “acknowled-
gment” in America is without an “e” after the “g.” Try
to avoid the stilted expression, “One of us (R.B.G.)
thanks ...” Instead, try “R.B.G. thanks ...” Put
sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered footnote
on the first page.
