The 13th World Conference on Titanium proceedings will be available after the conference in December 2015. More information about ordering the proceedings will be available at the conference.
Manuscript publication is a requirement for an oral presentation to be given at Titanium 2015.
The following overview will assist authors with some of the most common questions about submitting a manuscript.
Deadlines
- You will receive reviewer feedback before the conference is held, August 16-20, 2015.
If the reviewers request that revisions be made to your paper, you will receive a notification by e-mail that your manuscript is "accepted if modified".
- Final manuscripts will be due shortly after the conference date.
Page Limits
Contributed papers must not exceed six (6) pages.
Invited papers must not exceed eight (8) pages.
Formatting
You should use the two-column template and instructions. Detailed instructions for the two-column format are available
here.
Most importantly, you should format the paper using 9-point Times font, such as Times New Roman.
For all proceedings manuscripts, please use these tips to avoid common formatting errors:
- Margins should be 1" (25.4 mm) on the top and bottom and .75" (20 mm) on the left and right
- The font should be a Times font, such as Times New Roman, with single line spacing.
- The paper title should be entered in 11-point bold font, centered, and in all capital letters, except for chemical symbols or trade names where lower-case letters are used.
- Do not add page numbers or headers/footers to the top or bottom of the pages.
- Check that all symbols and Greek characters appear correctly in the final PDF document.
Language
The organizing committee asks that all manuscripts be submitted in English. We are unable to translate manuscripts, so non-English manuscripts may be rejected.
Transfer of Copyright
TMS requires a transfer of copyright from the author or author’s employer prior to publication in the conference proceedings. A form has been created to assist with this transfer and is available on the TMS proceedings instructions webpage.
Acknowledgments
If your employer or funding agency requires that an acknowledgment appear in the manuscript, place it at the end of the paper just before the references section.
References
All proceedings manuscripts must include a references section. Each reference must include complete information about the source material.
Manuscripts that are not submitted in an acceptable format may be returned to the author to be corrected or removed from the final publication.
