Paper Preparation Instructions
NOTE: Manuscripts that do not conform to the formatting guidelines below (PDF format, 9-page limit, margins, font size ) will be removed from further consideration without review.
Manuscript submissions should be in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) only. The page limit is 9 pages. Font size must be no smaller than 10 points
The three most important elements of paper layout are:
1) Margins: these must be strictly followed. Manuscripts cannot be accepted for review until proper margins are used.

When you upload your PDF, EDAS should report the margins are no less than 0.625x0.625x1x0.75 with a text region no more than 7.25 inches x 9.25 inches on a standard US Letter document (8.5 inches x 11 inches). The minimum line spacing should be 11pt. Of course, your margins and line spacing can be larger than this. If you have problems setting the individual margins, please set 1 inch margins all around.
Please run the paper formatting check on EDAS yourself by clicking on the
icon under the Check Format column in the Files row in the basic paper view page.
