ABSTRACT: Leave 2 lines after the last author. You may straightaway type the paper into this template or make
your own template according to these guidelines. Abstract (in Times New Roman 11 pt single spacing ) must be
concise (about 100 words) highlighting the novelty and important findings. Follow the instructions carefully.
Except the title, all other matters are in TNR 11 font size. Line drawings, illustrations, black & white or coluur
photos of resolution not more than 600 dpi can be pasted in the text. The paper should be prepared in A4 size (210
 297 mm) as a 97-2003 WORD DOCUMENT (.doc format) or word 7 (.docx format). Leave 2 blank lines after
Abstract.
INTRODUCTION (12 PT BOLD CAPS)
This is the format for full length papers (general
and keynote papers) of IGC 2013, to be held at
Roorkee, during 22 – 24 December, 2013. The
paper should be strictly limited to TEN PAGES
for general papers and TWENTY PAGES for
Keynote papers and saved as a 97-2003
MICROSOFT WORD DOCUMENT ( .doc
format) or WORD 7(.docx format) .
Type Area (Second Level Heading 12 pt BOLD
Title Case)
Restrict the length of the paper to 10 pages or 20
pages for key note paper. Use paper size letter,
portrait format, mirror margin, inside margin 18
mm and 12 mm outside, top and bottom 29 mm.
The total width of the type area has to be 180 mm
and the height of the text on each page 239 mm.
The text and figures should fit exactly into the type
area (180  239 mm). The paper should be typed in
two columns except from title to abstract. Keep the
column width equal to 87 mm and leave a gutter of
5 mm between the two columns.
Typeface, Type size and Indenting
Use Times New Roman 14 font size only for the
title of the paper and the rest of the text in 12 with
single spacing. Use Times New Roman 10 italics
for the page headers.
Do not indent any line or paragraph.
LAYOUT OF TEXT
Title of the paper
Type the title of the paper in UPPER CASE (Times
New Roman, 14 pt bold, no indentation, hanging
none, spacing 18 pt before and 2 blank lines after,
single spacing) at the top of the first page. The title
should be short, preferably one line and in no case
longer than two lines. Justify the title at the centre.
Type the name(s) of the author(s) in Times New
Roman bold 12 font size singly spaced underneath
the paper title. Initials should precede the surname,
e.g., S. N. Singh, and NOT Singh B. N.; P. Srinivas
and NOT Srinivas P. The author’s designation,
institution name in short and e-mail should follow
in the same line. Keep the details of each author
brief enough to be accommodated in one line.
Authors’ names alone should be in bold letters.
Rest of the details should not be bold.
Authors’ names separated by comma / &, limited to one line on all even pages (Times New Roman 8 italics, aligned left)
Headings
Type primary headings in CAPITAL BOLD
letters in Times New Roman 12 and secondary
headings in bold Title Case (First letter of each
word in capital except words like at, on, the, of,
and etc.). Leave a blank line above and none
beneath all headings. Do not indent the heading or
the first line of text following the heading. If a
primary heading is immediately followed by a
secondary heading, place one blank line above and
none beneath. For the secondary heading, leave
one blank line above and none beneath. If a
heading falls at the bottom of a column, transfer it
to the top of the next column/page and leave an
open space at the bottom. No blank space should
appear above a heading at the top of a page or
column. Leave a line before between two
paragraphs.
Paste them on the typescript after the paragraph in
which reference is made to them in the text. Centre
the figures and the photographs preferably in a
single column. Leave a line of space between the
actual text and the figure (including caption).
While pasting the figures, ignore the open space
which may be present above the lines of the figure.
Line drawings (as well as photographic
reproductions of these) should be in black (not
grey) on white. Ensure that the legend in the
figures if any and the labels are clear and legible.
Avoid figures in Autocad, Corel draw etc. which
are not reproduced well. Scanned figures, graphs
etc. must be of high resolution so as to be sharp
and the labels should be readable, Fig. 1.

Abstract
Begin the paper with an abstract of about 100
words. Type the first line of the abstract leaving
two lines after the last author’s line. Type the word
ABSTRACT: followed directly by the abstract
itself, which should run across both the columns.
Leave two blank lines before starting the text (or
first heading, i.e., INTRODUCTION) of the paper.

Third Level Heading (10 pt BOLD Title Case)
The third level heading will be in Title Case,
Italics, bold with first letter of each word Capital.
Type headings flush against the left margin of the
relevant column. Leave one line blank above and
none below the third level heading. Fourth level
heading, if any, shall be in 10 pt, sentence case,
and italics but not bold. Leave one line blank above
and none below the fourth level heading too.
Photographs, Figures, Equations and Tables
Number the Figures consecutively in the order in
which reference is made to them in the text,
making distinction between diagrams and
photographs. Figures and Tables may be either 83
mm wide (one column) or 171 mm wide (two
columns).
Figures, photographs, etc. need not be in black and
white. Use colour to distinguish between closely
spaced dots, lines, symbols or special features.

Number the Tables consecutively and place them
close to the first reference to them in the text. Give
explanations at the foot of the Table, Table 1. Use
only horizontal lines; align the first column
heading to the left and others centred. Do not use
bold letters in Figures and Tables. Results should
be presented either as graphs or as Tables but not
both.

Note: Provide mirror margin
Equation
Set equations against the left margin of the column
and number them consecutively. Refer to equations
by these numbers in the text.
Equations must be typed in the equation editor or
Mathtype. Equations should NOT be typed in
regular text. Equations are not indented and should
be in Times New Roman 12 pt. Align the equation
to the left and keep one open line before and one
open line beneath the equation. Number equations
consecutively and place the number at the end of
the line, between parentheses. Refer to equations
by these numbers in the text. Leave 3 pt spaces
before and after an equation.
Example:
The maximum contact moment, M max , is quantified
by
(1)
M max   min( R1 ,R2 )P
where R =particle radius; P =contact normal force;
and  = coefficient of rotational sliding.
Define all parameters in an equation and use SI
units.
CONCLUSIONS
State concisely the most important findings of the
work presented in the paper, scope for future works

implication / application of the results in the
Conclusion.
