Text
These instructions refer to the preparation of papers for the
International Scientific Conference‘2015 of the University
of Mining and Geology, which will be held on 20th October
2015 in Sofia. The maximum paper length is 6 (six) pages,
prepared according to these instructions. The first page
contains the title, authors’ names, company (organization) of
affiliation, town and town code, abstracts and text. All text
should be written in Arial Narrow, 10 point. The margins for
each page are as follows:
Papers are printed by a high quality laser jet on standard
A4 sheets (210 mm × 297 mm), on one side only, on white
paper and using black ink. The text is single spaced, Arial
Narrow 10-point. There is a space between the end of a
sentence (after the period) and the beginning of the following
sentence. The first line of each paragraph is 3 three intervals
indented. One blank line is left between the paragraphs.
Page Setup:
top: 1.8 cm; bottom: 2.2 cm; left: 2 cm; right: 2 cm.
Paragraph: Line spacing: Single; Alignment: Justified.
Format
The text is presented in two columns of 0.8 cm space
between them. Graphics, figures and photographs should be
adjusted to adhere to a single column width and should be
software inserted notwithstanding the programme used for
their creation. Exception (using both columns) is admitted only
if positioning of a certain table or figure by the standard
approach is absolutely impossible.
The text layout should be the following:
Main headings
The use of three types of headings is possible. Main
headings (first level) are typed with bold, 12-point, left-hand
aligned. There are two blank lines before and a blank line after
first level headings.
Second level heading
Second level headings are left-hand aligned and typed by
Arial Narrow, bold, 10-point. The text follows immediately.
There is a blank line before second level heading.
Third level heading
Third level headings are left-hand aligned by bold, 10-point,
italic. There is a blank line before third level heading.
Footnotes
References
Footnotes should be avoided. If they are absolutely
necessary, they may be denoted in the text with consecutive
numbers1 and a font size of 8 points. Separate footnotes from
the main text by double-spacing and drawing a line extending
halfway across the column, immediately above the footnote.
References to bibliography are referred in the main text by
author’s name and year of publication, for example: “Similar
results are published in Smith (1993)” or “Data are published
(Smith, 1993) ...”
If sources and authors that are cited are more than one, they
are put in parentheses and order in the following way: (Ivanov
et al., 1983; Davis et al., 1989; Jones and Miller, 1990).
The names of all the authors are specified in the list of
reference sources.
References are listed alphabetically at the end of the text.
The name of journal is typed in italics, if the source is from a
journal, the title of book or proceedings, if the source is from a
symposium or congress. If the source is a book or proceedings
the town of publishing is typed (abbreviated for Sofia – S. and
Moscow – М.), publisher and pages (if the source is from the
Latin alphabet – publisher, town and pages).
Graphics
Graphics, illustrations and drawings are positioned as close
as possible to the first reference to them. Graphics are
centered within the column margins. There is a blank line
above and below each graphics. Figure number and caption is
positioned below the graphic.
Examples (hanging 0.5 mm)
Fig. 1. Figure caption is left-hand aligned (8-point, bold)
Tables
Tables are positioned as close as possible to the first
reference to them. They are centered within column margins.
There is a blank line above and below each table. The table
number and title should be positioned above the table and lefthand aligned within column width .
