20th COAL CONGRESS OF TURKEY
GUIDELINE FOR PREPARATION OF PAPERS
The manuscript should be prepared according to rules given in this guideline. The rules are
important to provide uniformity throughout the proceedings.
A template file named “20_coal_paper_template.docx” prepared according to rules is
attached for the author’s use. Some parts in this template (title, author(s) etc.) are defined with
“click and type” macro so that they can be typed directly by clicking on them. When the number of
headings is not sufficient further headings can be added by copy and paste method.
Since camera-ready manuscripts will be reduced to 75% of original size the main text must
be typed in Times New Roman, 14 point.
