Abstract
This part is only required for full papers or extended structured abstracts, not for abstracts. If the paper is not written in English, it must contain English Keywords and English Abstract. 
This document explains how to prepare your manuscript for publication in Materials Structure. Please follow the guidelines given in the following. Use this document as a template by pasting the text into this document using the 'Edit' / 'Paste special' / 'Unformatted text' option of Word. 
Insert a blank line below the keywords and use boldface for the heading 'Abstract.'. 
Introduction
All paragraphs must be typed with the style Materials. (shortcut key – CTRL M)
All papers must be prepared using British English. When receiving the manuscript, we assume that the authors grant the publisher (CSCA) the copyright to use the manuscript for the preparation of the proceedings. Should authors use tables or figures from other publications, they must ask the corresponding publishers to grant them the right to publish this material in their paper. 
Organizing the text
For extended structured abstracts and full papers, the text should be organized in sections. The sections can be numbered. Use the format 'M_Heading 1' for the headlines of the Section. To introduce subsections, use the format 'M_Heading 2'. Use capitals in headlines only in the first word and where absolutely necessary. Use italic for emphasizing a word or phrase. Sections can be numbered, if necessary as 1., 2., 3. …, subsections as 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 …
Begin a new paragraph in a subsection only with a new line without indentation. 
Figures 
This subsection describes the preparation of figures. Each figure should have a caption placed below the figure. Please use the format 'M_caption'. Number the figures and refer to the figures Fig. 1 etc. Please include your figures as complete graphic images in the electronic version. Do not compose the figures in MS Word with the text (titles)!!!
You can also conveniently combine figures with captions in tables without borders as follows. Use figure layout “in line with a text”

Figure 1. This is a figure caption.

Figure 2. This is a figure inserted in a table.
	Figure 3. This is a figure inserted in a table.

Tables
This subsection describes the preparation of tables. Each table should have a caption placed above the table. Please use the format 'M_caption'. Number the tables and refer to the tables with Tab. 1 etc. 
Table 1. This is a table caption.
line	column	line	column	line	
column	line	column	line	column	

References
This subsection describes the use of references. References should be given in the text by square brackets [1]. Two or more references at a time may be put in one set of brackets [2-4] or [2, 3]. The references are to be numbered in the order in which they are cited in the text and are to be listed at the end of the contribution under a heading References (see example below for details of the formatting). Type journal title or book title in italics and volume as boldface. Use style ‘M_reference’ before formatting title and volume.

Equations
Use the Microsoft of Corel equation editors. Number the equations sequentially with round brackets (1), (2) etc. Refer to equations with equation (1), equation (2) etc. If possible, there should be one line of space above the equation and one line of space below it. If your paper contains many equations, you may omit the blank lines. Equations should be punctuated as if they were a part of the text. Punctuation appears after the equation but before the equation number, e.g.

                                                a2 + b2 = c2.				           (1)

Acknowledgements. 
Any acknowledgements authors wish to make should be included in a separate headed section at the end of the manuscript. Insert a blank line below the references, and use boldface for the heading 'Acknowledgements'. Use style ‘M_acknowledgement’ for the text 

Typing rules

There are typing rules often violated. Please, look at the table below. For example, all punctuations must be followed by space but not preceded. Equal signs should be separated from other text by spaces from both sides and units also should be separated by space. Parentheses should not be separated from other text inside. The figure or table captions and all the references should be finished by dots.

As the final text is not prepared in MS Word, please, avoid some special Word formatting constructions and macros. Make your text as simple as possible.
