Information for Authors
General: The PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE welcomes for consideration technical papers on important topics of broad significance and long-range interest in all areas of electrical, electronics, and computer engineering. In-depth surveys, reviews and tutorials are particularly welcome; papers describing individual research will usually only be considered if they meet the general criteria above. As a general rule, papers that do not meet these criteria should be submitted to the appropriate IEEE Transactions and Journals.
It is suggested that a prospective author, before preparing a full-length manuscript, submit a brief 3-5 page proposal containing a description of the topic and its importance to PROCEEDINGS' readers, a detailed outline of the proposed paper and its type of coverage, and a brief biography showing the author's qualifications for writing the paper (including reference to previously published material as well as information on the author's relation to the proposed topic). Proposal reviews can be done most efficiently if the proposal is emailed directly to the Managing Editor at
*****************.
Submission:
If a proposal receives a favorable review, the author will be encouraged to prepare the paper and submit it to Manuscript Central for the normal peer-review process. All
full-length manuscripts should be submitted to Manuscript Central at the following URL: /pieee. Instructions and tutorials can be found on the main page. Please note that due to our journal redesign project and a new publishing production process, we request that all manuscripts accepted for publication be submitted as Word files. If you have specific questions or concerns, please contact Margery Meyer: ****************. All contributions are peer reviewed, as expeditiously as possible, in accordance with IEEE and PROCEEDINGS policy, usually by three (3) experts in the field.
Copyright:
The PROCEEDINGS is copyrighted to protect the interests of the IEEE as well as its authors and their employers. Authors must provide a signed copyright release form before their papers can be published; the completed form should accompany the manuscript upon its approval and final submission. The form may be found online at the following URL:
/web/publications/rights/IEEECForm121302.html.
The IEEE assumes that material submitted for publication has been properly released. It is the responsibility of the author, not the IEEE, to determine whether publication of the material requires the prior consent of other parties and, if so, to obtain it. Presentation:
Since papers in the PROCEEDINGS are read by engineers whose interests usually extend well beyond their own specialties, papers must be accessible to the nonspecialist EE reader as well as the expert. They should always contain adequate background and tutorial information, and, to ensure that papers are well-suited for the
general electrical engineering readership, authors are encouraged to have their manuscripts scrutinized by colleagues who are not experts in the fields discussed. Manuscript Preparation:
When a paper is accepted for publication (upon completing the peer review process through Manuscript Central), an electronic version of the manuscript will be requested for use in editing and typesetting. Manuscripts should be submitted in Word and paginated throughout (including the abstract, figure captions, tables, and the reference section). The composition of manuscripts should be the following: title page, abstract, body of paper, appendices, references, separate listing of figure captions, figures, and tables.
Title Page:
This page should contain the full title of the paper and complete names, affiliations, addresses, phone and fax numbers, and electronic mail addresses of all authors. The contact author should be indicated.
Abstract:
An abstract of not more than 200 words is required. It should contain not only a description of the subject and scope of coverage but also, in the case of
research-oriented papers, discuss major results and conclusions.
Paper Descriptions (Paper “Decks” and Table of Contents items):
Authors of approved papers should provide a 15 to 25-word description of the coverage of the paper and what the reader will learn from it.
Keywords:
All papers must contain keywords or index terms. They are provided by the authors. They should be provided in alphabetical order, and as a final paragraph of the abstract section.
Illustrations:
The Proceedings of the IEEE is eager to publish color illustrations, especially in those cases where color enhances technical details and understanding; for this reason, for the past year or so, we have been publishing color figures at no cost to the author. Figures and tables should be sent as separate electronic files and named numerically (e.g., fig1.eps, fig2.tif, table3.doc). It is requested that authors provide hard copies of all figures and tables as well, for verification purposes.
Units:
The International System of Units (the SI or "metric" system) should be used. Where desirable, non-metric equivalents can be included in parentheses.
References:
References should be numbered in the order they are mentioned in the text, with numbers within square brackets. The reference section should be double-spaced and in the style shown below; however, if there is any doubt about the correct abbreviation of publication names, these should be given in full. Note that titles of papers plus beginning and ending page numbers should be included.

Photographs and Biographies:
Authors' photographs and biographies are published in conjunction with papers. They can be provided after acceptance of a paper and biographies should not exceed 200 words.
Proof:
Before publication, proofs will be sent to the author (or to the contact author who submitted the paper) by the PROCEEDINGS' Associate Editor. Typographical, illustration problems and other errors should be marked according to the instructions accompanying the proofs. This is not the time to rewrite or revise the paper, and the cost of excessive changes will be billed to the author. However, it is important to review the presentation details at this time and carefully check for any errors that might have been introduced during the production process.
Voluntary Page Charges and Reprints:
After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author's company or institution will be asked to pay a voluntary charge of $110 per printed page to cover part of the cost of publication. IEEE page charges are not obligatory, and payment is not a prerequisite for publication. The author will receive 100 free reprints if the charge is honored. Detailed instructions on page charges and on ordering reprints will accompany the galley proof.

IEEE编委谈：怎样向国际名刊投稿
2007-05-21 18:26
郭更生教授：曾任IEEE Transactions on Communications Magazine总编，IEEE Communications Magazine高级技术编辑，台湾***大学教授。

现任IEEE通信交换与路由技术委员会主席，IEEE Communications论文奖励委员会委员等。

各位好！
我在２００１年到２００２年担任过IEEE communication magazine的editor in chief。

期刊评比的指标：
影响因子：今年这个期刊中所有文章被引用的次数除以这个期刊发表的文章数。

在通信领域，IEEE的这三本期刊，永远扮演前三名的角色。

当我们写了一篇文章，准备去投稿时，要注意看这个杂志对作品的要求。

在IEEE发表一篇文章，大概会有６万人阅读。

如果你有一些比较特别的见解，你会收
到很多反馈。

IEEE communication magazine中的文章是如何定位的呢？
每期会先确定两个主题，就这个主题，提出５到７篇文章，一般会向世界上这方面做得比较好的企业研究单位约稿。

在这个情况下，如果你认为你做的内容与这个主题很近，想发表文章，是会很难的。

当然，所有的研究者，都有文章被拒的经历。

不论你的文章写的多好，这个领域的专家写的评论，总是值得一读的。

这些评论，可以提高你文章的价值。

当你收到言辞很不客气的评论时，你应该感到高兴。

如果你认为评论有错误，你应该进行讨论。

这也是表现你能力的一个机会。

每期有十八篇文章，其实，主题作品占去１２篇，社会大众投稿采用的，只有三篇左
右。

一篇文章的篇幅大约4500字到6500字之间。

怎么样写一篇文章，容易被别人接受呢？
第一步，要定一个主题。

别人看你文章，最先看到的是题目。

如果题目定得不好，影响是很
大的。

你要强调，你的文章，与当前热门话题是有关的。

第二步，要有一个摘要。

所有审文章的人，会比较注意摘要、引言、结论这几部分，中间的内容，一般来说，看也看不懂。

你研究的是什么问题（一般都不会是很大的问题，否则很难深入）。

你研究的主题，为什么是重要的。

你需要引证别人的观点来支持你的观点。

你要告诉大家，现在世界上，对这个问题，研究到了什么地步。

最好是你能告诉别人，现在全世界有很少的人做这个题目，因为他们做也做不出来。

或者你说，全世界做这个问题的人很多，但他们都没做好，有什么什么样的缺点。

这时，别人也对你的文章会比较有兴趣。

你可以批评任何人，说做得不好，但你要给出理由。

然后，你要给出，你要用什么思路来处理这个问题。

以上为第一段。

如果这一段给别人的印象是价值不高，就可以直接拒绝你的文章了。

然后，最后的结论也是很重要的。

很多人，看完第一段，就直接看结论了。

你要给出，你的结论别人的好多少，要有量化的指标。

技术论文，讲求简明，你不需要太多的形容词，因为这毕竟不是在抒情。

写一段话，要看看这段话告诉大家写的是什么，如果拿掉之后，对表达没什么影响，那就应该拿掉。

英文是不是很好，并不是很重要。

如果你的文章，得到的评语只是"英语不好"，那就说明你的文章是非常好的了。

不论多有名的人，都被拒过。

要想有更多的论文被发表，多投稿是个好办法。

如果你的文章很好，但不投稿，发表
的机会也不大。

一个人读博士而不搞研究，是件比较奇怪的事情。

所谓研究是训练你寻找问题的能力，训练你解决问题的能力，训练你创新的能力，训练你改进的能力，
所有的研究都是去寻找一个最的价值的主题，所有的研究都是为了解决一个目前的问题，所有的研究都是为了改进现有的情况，所有的研究都是要创造更多的价值
IEEE magazine和journal的区别
2010-09-01 09:15
IEEE的文章大体分为3类，letter,magazine,journal/transaction.
IEEE letter:属于快报形式，一般发表最新的研究成果，文章要求短小，理论推导要求不高。

IEEE Magazine:这才是属于杂志类，一般要求用文字和图表来表述些最新研究成果，不允许有过多的公式推导
IEEE Jour/Trans:这两个属于同一类，期刊杂志，但两者面向的读者和表达方式上略有不同。

两者都需要有很大的创新点，和比较详细的公式推导。

Trans:具体到一个相对较细的专业方向上，如IEEE Trans. Sign.Proc.。

而jour:面向的读者群却更加广泛,如IEEE J-SAC,所以jour需要对背景知识有更加全面的介绍。

虽然jour没有trans.的专注度高，但是其理论深度的要求也很高，而且其影响因子往往远远高于Trans.
procedding和transaction的区别
proceeding一般是指CONFERENCE的会议录
一般只需要作者SUBMIT ABSTRACT 或者EXTENDED ABSTRACT
长度比较短
JOURNAL的PAPER,
就要求作者SUBMIT研究成果的全文
IEEE 的TRANSACTION
是在IEEE的JOURNAL基础上筛选征集的
理论上说是水平更高一层的了

ZZ：
ransaction\Magzine\Letters的区别（个人理解）：
T：比较深入详尽学术研究
M：产业新闻、技术动态之类的
L：不超过三页的小短文
1、IEEE提供的word模板：（word 6.0 以上版本）
TRANS-JOUR.DOC 或TRANS-JOUR.PDF
/organizations/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.htm
2、IEEE提供的latex模板：
网址同上
一、准备篇
1、如果是投会议文章，需要和举办方联系，以防人家有特殊的排版要求。

关键字要按字母顺序写。

参考/organizations/pubs/ani_prod/keywrd98.txt
2、打开TRANS-JOUR.DOC后, 选择(View | Page Layout), 然后才能看到脚注（footnotes）. 这个模板很好用，你把你的文章copy过来后，直接点左上角的格式窗口就可以自动转换格式了，尤其一些标题，它会自动转大小写、斜体、粗体等等，唯一美中不足的就是reference中的斜体得手工完成，呵呵。

我使用过程中觉得最大的一个好处就是公式后面的编号，你在怎么推它也不会跳到下一行去，也不用担心和上下编号不对齐。

公式的位置你任意调整皆可。

解决我一直头疼的一个问题，呵呵
3、不要改变默认字体等等。

文章页数不要超过6页，本来每页110刀，超过部分每页要200刀！
4、文章里面的出现符号的时候，比如x，y，上标什么的，一定要用公式编辑器或mathtype来完成，千万别用什么改字体的方法。

5、visio生成的图形在转成pdf文档的时候经常会把字体丢失，所以转换后要仔细检查，万无一失的方法是先用hypercram等抓图软件把visio的页面抓下来（记得关掉链接点和网格），然后copy到word里面再转换。

6、压缩包不要超过1Mbytes，记得用.zip格式，老外不认.rar，（估计是老外太穷，winrar得单买，而.zip 的解压xp已经自带了）
7、图表一定要放大单发，递交的paper里面或者不加图表，或者自己加着玩玩，以便知道自己
的paper会有多少页，图表里面不要包含图表名称和边框等
8、单位的问题，单位放括号里面，我原来总用冒号...
再就是乘号不要用x等等小常识，想起来再补充吧～

II.Procedure for Paper Submission
A.Review Stage
Please check with your editor on whether to submit your manuscript by hard copy or electronically for review. If hard copy, submit photocopies such that only one column appears per page. This will give your referees plenty of room to write comments. Send the number of copies specified by your editor (typically four). If submitted electronically, find out if your editor prefers submissions on disk or as
e-mail attachments.
If you want to submit your file with one column electronically, please do the following:
--First, click on the View menu and choose Print Layout.
--Second, place your cursor in the first paragraph. Go to the Format menu, choose Columns, choose one column Layout, and choose “apply to whole document” fr om the dropdown menu.
--Third, click and drag the right margin bar to just over 4 inches in width.
The graphics will stay in the “second” column, but you can drag them to the first column. Make the graphic wider to push out any text that may try to fill in next to the graphic.
B.Final Stage
When you submit your final version, after your paper has been accepted, print it in two-column format, including figures and tables. Send three prints of the paper; two will go to IEEE and one will be retained by the Editor-in-Chief or conference publications chair.
You must also send your final manuscript on a disk, which IEEE will use to prepare your paper for publication. Write the authors’ names on the disk label. If you are using a Macintosh, please save y our file on a PC formatted disk, if possible. You may use Zip or CD-ROM disks for large files, or compress files using Compress, Pkzip, Stuffit, or Gzip.
Also send a sheet of paper with complete contact information for all authors. Include full mailing addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, and e-mail addresses. This information will be used to send each author a complimentary copy of the journal in which the paper appears. In addition, designate one author as the “corresponding author.” This is the au thor to whom proofs of the paper will be sent. Proofs are sent to the corresponding author only.
C.Figures （这段很重要，就是说图表一定要放大单发，递交的paper里面或者不加图表，或者自己加着玩玩，以便知道自己的paper会有多少页）
All tables and figures will be processed as images. However, IEEE cannot extract the tables and figures embedded in your document. (The figures and tables you insert in your document are only to help you gauge the size of your paper, for the convenience of the referees, and to make it easy for you to distribute preprints.) Therefore, submit, on separate sheets of paper, enlarged versions of the tables and figures that appear in your document. These are the images IEEE will scan and publish
with your paper.
D.Electronic Image Files (Optional)
You will have the greatest control over the appearance of your figures if you are able to prepare electronic image files. If you do not have the required computer skills, just submit paper prints as described above and skip this section.
1) Easiest Way: If you have a scanner, the best and quickest way to prepare noncolor figure files is to print your tables and figures on paper exactly as you want them to appear, scan them, and then save them to a file in PostScript (PS) or Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) formats. Use a separate file for each im age. File names should be of the form “fig1.ps” or “fig2.eps.”
2) Slightly Harder Way: Using a scanner as above, save the images in TIFF format. High-contrast line figures and tables should be prepared with 600 dpi resolution and saved with no compression, 1 bit per pixel (monochrome), with file names of the form “fig3.tif” or “table1.tif.” To obtain a 3.45-in figure (one-column width) at 600 dpi, the figure requires a horizontal size of 2070 pixels. Typical file sizes will be on the order of 0.5 MB.
Photographs and grayscale figures should be prepared with 220 dpi resolution and saved with no compression, 8 bits per pixel (grayscale). To obtain a 3.45-in figure (one-column width) at 220 dpi, the figure should have a horizontal size of 759 pixels.
Color figures should be prepared with 400 dpi resolution and saved with no compression, 8 bits per pixel (palette or 256 color). To obtain a 3.45-in figure (one column width) at 400 dpi, the figure should have a horizontal size of 1380 pixels.
For more information on TIFF files, please go to
/organizations/pubs/transactions/information.htm and click on the link “Guidelines for Author Supplied Electronic Text and G raphics.”
3) Somewhat Harder Way: If you do not have a scanner, you may create noncolor PostScript figures by “printing” them to files. First, download a PostScript printer driver from
/support/downloads/pdrvwin.htm (for Windows) or from
/support/downloads/ pdrvmac.htm(for Macintosh) and install the “Generic PostScript Printer” definition. In Word, paste your figure into a new document. Print to a file using the PostScript printer driver. File names should be of the form “fig5.ps.” Use Adobe Type 1 fonts when creating your figures, if possible.
4) Other Ways: Experienced computer users can convert figures and tables from their original format to TIFF. Some useful image converters are Adobe Photoshop, Corel Draw, and Microsoft Photo Editor, an application that is part of Microsoft Office 97 and Office 2000 (look for C:\Program Files\Common Files \Microsoft Shared\ PhotoEd\ PHOTOED.EXE. (You may have to custom-install Photo Editor from your original Office disk.)
Here is a way to make TIFF image files of tables. First, create your table in Word. Use horizontal lines but no vertical lines. Hide gridlines (Table | Hide Gridlines). Spell check the table to remove any red underlines that indicate spelling errors. Adjust magnification (View | Zoom) such that you can view the entire table at maximum area when you select View | Full Screen. Move the cursor so that it is out of the way. Press “Print Screen” on your keyboard; this copies the screen image to the Windows clipboard. Open Microsoft Photo Editor and click Edit | Paste as New Image. Crop the table image (click Select button; select the part you want, then Image | Crop). Adjust the properties of the image (File | Properties) to monochrome (1 bit) and 600 pixels per inch. Resize the image (Image | Resize) to
a width of 3.45 inches. Save the file (File | Save As) in TIFF with no compression (click “More”button).
Most graphing programs allow you to save graphs in TIFF; however, you often have no control over compression or number of bits per pixel. You should open these image files in a program such as Microsoft Photo Editor and re-save them using no compression, either 1 or 8 bits, and either 600 or 220 dpi resolution (File | Properties; Image | Resize). See Section II-D2 for an explanation of number of bits and resolution. If your graphing program cannot export to TIFF, you can use the same technique described for tables in the previous paragraph.
A way to convert a figure from Windows Metafile (WMF) to TIFF is to paste it into Microsoft PowerPoint, save it in JPG format, open it with Microsoft Photo Editor or similar converter, and
re-save it as TIFF.
Microsoft Excel allows you to save spreadsheet charts in Graphics Interchange Format (GIF). To get good resolution, make the Excel charts very large. Then use the “Save as
HTML” feature (see /support/ kb/articles/q158/0/79.asp). You can then convert from GIF to TIFF using Microsoft Photo Editor, for example.
No matter how you convert your images, it is a good idea to print the TIFF files to make sure nothing was lost in the conversion.
If you modify this document for use with other IEEE journals or conferences, you should save it as type “Word 97-2000 & 6.0/95 - RTF (*.doc)” so that it can be opened by any version of Word.
E.Copyright Form
An IEEE copyright form should accompany your final submission. You can get a .pdf, .html, or .doc version at /copyright or from the first issues in each volume of the IEEE
T RANSACTIONS and J OURNALS. Authors are responsible for obtaining any security clearances.

III.M ATH
If you are using Word, use either the Microsoft Equation Editor or the MathType add-on
() for equations in your paper (Insert | Object | Create New | Microsoft Equation or MathType Equation). “Float over text” should not be selected.
IV.Units
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are strongly encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). This applies to papers in data storage. For example, write “15 Gb/cm2 (100 Gb/in2).” An exception is when English units are used as identifiers in trade, such as “3½ in disk drive.” Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each quantity in an equation.
The SI unit for magnetic field strength H is A/m. However, if you wish to use units of T, either refer to magnetic flux density B or magnetic field strength symbolized as µ0H. Use the center dot to separate compound units, e.g., “A·m2.”
V.Helpful Hints
A.Figures and Tables
Because IEEE will do the final formatting of your paper, you do not need to position figures and tables at the top and bottom of each column. In fact, all figures, figure captions, and tables can be at the end of the paper. Large figures and tables may span both columns. Place figure captions below the figures; place table titles above the tables. If your figure has two parts, include the labels “(a)” and “(b)” as part of the artwork. Please verify that the figures and tables you mention in the text actually exist. Please do not include captions as p art of the figures. Do not put captions in “text boxes” linked to the figures. Do not put borders around the outside of your figures. Use the abbreviation “Fig.” even at the beginning of a sentence. Do not abbreviate “Table.” Tables are numbered with Roman numerals. Color printing of figures is available, but is billed to the authors (approximately $1300, depending on the number of figures and number of pages containing color). Include a note with your final paper indicating that you request color printing. Do not use color unless it is necessary for the proper interpretation of your figures. If you want reprints of your color article, the reprint order should be submitted promptly. There is an additional charge of $81 per 100 for color reprints.
Figure axis labels are often a source of confusion. Use words rather than symbols. As an example, write the quantity “Magnetization,” or “Magnetization M,” not just “M.” Put units in parentheses. Do not label axes only with units. As in Fig. 1, for example, write “Magnetization (A/m)” or “Magnetization (A m-1),” not just “A/m.” Do not label axes with a ratio of quantities and units. For example, write “Temperature (K),” not “Temperature/K.”
Multipliers can be especially confusing. Write “Magnetization (kA/m)” or “Ma gnetization (103A/m).” Do not write “Magnetization (A/m) ´1000” because the reader would not know whether the top axis label in Fig. 1 meant 16000 A/m or 0.016 A/m. Figure labels should be legible, approximately 8 to 12 point type.
B.References
Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the brackets [2]. Multiple references [2], [3] are each numbered with separate brackets [1]–[3]. When citing a section in a book, please give the relevant page numbers [2]. In sentences, refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]. Do not use “Ref. [3]” or “reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] shows ... .” Unfortunately the IEEE document translator cannot handle automatic endnotes in Word; therefore, type the reference list at the end of the paper using the “References” style. Number footnotes separately in superscripts (Insert | Footnote).[1] Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it is cited; do not put footnotes in the reference list (endnotes). Use letters for table footnotes (see Table I).
Please note that the references at the end of this document are in the preferred referencing style. Give all authors’ names; do not use “et al.” unless there are six authors or more. Use a space after authors' initials. Papers that have not been published should be cited as “unpublished” [4]. Papers that have been submitted for publication should be cited as “submitted for publication” [5]. Papers that have been accepted for publication, but not yet specified for an issue should be cited as “to be published” [6]. Please give affiliations and addresses for private communications [7].
Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns and element symbols. For papers published in translation journals, please give the English citation first, followed by the original
foreign-language citation [8].
C.Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after they have already been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, ac, and dc do not have to be defined. Abbreviations that incorporate periods should not have space s: write “C.N.R.S.,” not “C. N. R. S.” Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are unavoidable (for example, “IEEE” in the title of this article).
D.Equations
Number equations consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses flush with the right margin, as in (1). First use the equation editor to create the equation. Then select the “Equation” markup style. Press the tab key and write the equation number in parentheses. To make your equations more compact, you may use the solidus ( / ), the exp function, or appropriate exponents. Use parentheses to avoid ambiguities in denominators. Punctuate equations when they are part of a sentence, as in
(1)
Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before the equation appears or immediately following. Italicize symbols (T might refer to temperature, but T is the unit tesla). Refer to “(1),” not “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is ... .”
E.Other Recommendations
Use one space af ter periods and colons. Hyphenate complex modifiers: “zero-field-cooled magnetization.” Avoid dangling participles, such as, “Using (1), the potential was calculated.” [It is not clear who or what used (1).] Write instead, “The potential was calculated by using (1),” or “Using (1), we calculated the potential.”
Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25,” not “.25.” Use “cm3,” not “cc.” Indicate sample dimensions as “0.1 cm ´0.2 cm,” not “0.1 ´ 0.2 cm2.” The abbreviation for “seconds” is “s,” not “sec.” Do no t mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: use “Wb/m2” or “webers per square meter,” not “webers/m2.” When expressing a range of values, write “7 to 9” or “7-9,” not “7~9.”
A parenthetical statement at the end of a sentence is punctuated outside of the closing parenthesis (like this). (A parenthetical sentence is punctuated within the parentheses.) In American English, periods and commas are within quotation marks, like “this period.” Other punctuation is “outside”! Avoid contractions; for example, write “do not” instead of “don’t.” The serial comma is preferred: “A, B, and C” instead of “A,
B and C.”
If you wish, you may write in the first person singular or plural and use the active voice (“I observed that ...” or “We observed that ...” instead of “It was observed that ...”). Remember to check spelling. If your native language is not English, please get a native English-speaking colleague to proofread your paper.
VI.Some Common Mistakes
The word “data” is plural, not singular. The subscript for the permeability of vacuum µ0 is zero, not a lowercase letter “o.” The term for residual magnetization is “remanence”; the adjective is “remanent”; do not write “remnance” or “remnant.” Use the word “micrometer” instead of “micron.” A graph within a gr aph is an “inset,” not an “insert.” The word “alternatively” is preferred to the word “alternately” (unless you really mean something that alternates). Use the word “whereas” instead of。
