64This document describes the  preparation of an article using \LaTeXe\ and
65\verb"iopart.cls" (the IOP \LaTeXe\ preprint class file).
66This class file is designed to help
67authors produce preprints in a form suitable for submission to any of the
68journals published by Institute of Physics Publishing.
69
70Authors submitting to any IOP journal, i.e.\
71to double-column journals as well as the single-column 
72ones,
73should follow the guidelines set out here.
74On acceptance, their source code will be converted to
75the appropriate journal format at Institute of Physics Publishing.
76For the printed version, Times fonts (and Helvetica in double-column
77journals) will be used instead of the Computer Modern used in the preprint
78form.

91\section{Introduction}
92Many authors use \LaTeX\ to
93produce their typescripts
94and we can use the source code to produce the printed version;  this gives
95more rapid publication with a smaller chance of typographical
96error.
97
98We explain here the procedures and specific requirements for
99the preparation and presentation of text and illustrations for
100articles in \LaTeXe\ using the IOPP class file
101\verb"iopart.cls". We also illustrate \verb"iopart.cls" through
102its use in the creation of this document. The
103class file and accompanying documentation are available to all authors
104and copies can be
105obtained (free of charge)
106\begin{itemize}
107\item from the World Wide Web (\verb"http://www.iop.org/Journals/texstyle")
108by downloading zipped files for PCs or tar compressed format files for
109Unix
110\item from the World Wide Web by using our
111Author Enquiry Service\\ (\verb"http://www.iop.org/Journals/AES")
112to request that the files be sent on disk
113\item by contacting the Electronic Services Specialist,
114Institute of Physics Publishing, Dirac House, Temple Back,
115Bristol BS1~6BE, UK (\verb"esub@ioppublishing.co.uk") and requesting
116the files be sent by e-mail or on 3$1\over2$ inch PC or Macintosh disk
117\end{itemize}
118
119There are 10 and 12 point versions of the style, but the 12pt
120version should be used for preprints and is selected by opening the file
121with the initial line:
122\begin{verbatim}
123\documentclass[12pt]{iopart}
124\end{verbatim}
125If the \verb"[12pt]" is omitted the article will be set in 10pt type (i.e.
126in the same size type as in the printed journal).
127The 12pt version
128of the style gives a `preprint' form with a page width and type size
1291.2 times larger than that for normal single-column journals
130with extra spacing between lines. The page depth is less than 1.2 times
131the normal page depth so that articles will fit on the page on both
132A4 and Letter paper.
133This form is the one required for
134the initial submission of a typescript for
135refereeing and copy editing. Authors need not aim to optimize the line and
136page breaks as they will inevitably change when converted to the final
137format for printing.
138
139The 10 pt version has the same page dimensions and type sizes as a
140single-column journal and shows approximately
141how the text would appear in print. It can also be used to produce
142camera-ready copy for journal special issues.
143
144Other compatible
145\LaTeXe\ packages can be used if they are available in the normal
146distribution of \LaTeXe; if it is essential to use
147a non-standard package then the extra files needed to process the
148article must also be sent in. Authors should be aware that the final
149version will be printed on a different page size and using different fonts
150to the preprint version so that any special effects used should not
151contain material that is not easily scalable.
152
153We recommend that authors use the IOPP \LaTeXe\ class file;
154however articles prepared using almost any  version of \TeX\ or \LaTeX\
155can be
156handled (${\cal AMS}$\TeX, L${\cal AMS}$TeX, PHYZZX, etc)
157and authors not using the IOPP
158style files
159can submit their source code in the way described
160below.
161Alterations to the source code will be made in-house by the
162Production Department in order to conform to IOPP house style and
163journal format.
164
165We aim to maintain our normal standards
166for articles published from \TeX\ and \LaTeX\ files so we reserve
167the right to make small alterations  to clarify and improve the
168English where necessary and to put the article into IOPP house style.
169
170\subsection{Double-column journals}
171Authors writing for double-column journals should also use the IOPP preprint
172macros. Conversion from the single-column format to the double-column
173output required for printing will be done by the Production Department
174at Institute of Physics
175Publishing.
176
177
178\section{Submitting new articles}
179
180\subsection{Sending in files for submission to internally refereed journals}
181\label{int}
182Articles for consideration for publication in the journals listed in
183table~\ref{e-mail} may be submitted electronically without the need to
184supply hard copies of the manuscript.
185Those journals are refereed internally.
186Articles for consideration by all other IOPP journals must be submitted in hard copy form. Electronic files can then be sent in on acceptance or when requested by the editor.
187
188Authors are asked to prepare their articles using the 12pt
189style and submit by World Wide Web upload, e-mail, FTP or on PC or Mac
190floppy disk.
191Please send all files necessary to reproduce your article,
192including the article itself and all figure files.
193Combine all your files into a single archive using a compression or archiving
194program. Utilities like WinZIP or StuffIt will both archive and compress your
195files. Alternatively you could archive your files using a program like TAR
196and compress the resulting file using gzip.
197
198
199\subsection{By World Wide Web upload}
200Users of Netscape (version 2 or higher) or Internet Explorer
201(version 4 or higher) can submit using our World Wide Web upload form.
202This can be found at
203\verb"http://www.iop.org/Journals/authorsubs"
204Complete the on-line form with information about your submission and then upload
205your article in one of two ways.
206
207\begin{enumerate}
208\item Having created a single compressed file containing an archive of your text
209and graphics files, use the `Browse...' button on the form to select that file.
210
211\item If your article has already been posted to the LANL e-print archive, select
212the archive name and enter the e-print number. ({\it Note}: We cannot download
213your paper from the LANL e-print server until it has been publicly released,
214usually by 10 pm on the day you submitted it there.) Use the `Transfer File'
215button at the bottom of the form to submit your file.
216\end{enumerate}
217
218
219\subsection{By E-mail} 
220\label{byemail}
221Files should be sent to the relevant journal mailbox (see table~\ref{e-mail}).
222Please send articles as attachments to e-mail messages.
223Any additional files such as figure files should be combined into a single archive with the article file as described in section~\ref{int}.
224All information about the submission should be included in the main body of the message.
225This must include:
226\begin{itemize}
227\item Your full name
228\item The name of the journal to which you are submitting
229\item The full title of the article
230\item The full list of authors
231\item The article type (e.g. Paper, Letter to the Editor etc.)
232\item The status of the article (i.e. new revised or accepted)
233\item Your postal address
234\item Your e-mail address
235\item Your telephone number
236\item Your fax number (if applicable)
237\item The article file format (i.e. \LaTeXe)
238\item The number of separate figure files
239\end{itemize}

279\subsection{By FTP}
280Create a file named \verb"readme.txt" containing all your submission information
281(e.g. your name, the name of the journal you are submitting to etc. See section ~\ref{byemail} 
282for full list).
283Create a single compressed file containing an archive of your text and graphics
284files along with the file \verb"readme.txt".
285Files should be sent by anonymous FTP to \verb"ftp.iop.org".
286Please logon with the username {\it anonymous} and use your e-mail address as
287the password.
288Change to the directory \verb"/incoming" and then change to the directory of the
289journal to which you wish to submit and
290upload your files.
291Please do not create any new directories on our server.
292Your files will remain in the \verb"/incoming" directory for no more than 90 minutes
293before they are moved to a secure location.
294
295\subsection{On Floppy Disk}
296Files may be sent in on 3.5 inch PC or Apple Macintosh formatted disk.
297Please include a file named \verb"readme.txt" containing all your submission
298information as described above.
299
300
301\section{Preparing your article}
302Using \LaTeX\ with the \verb"iopart" class file
303provides a simple way of
304producing an article in a form suitable for publication in one
305of the IOPP journals. Authors may add their own macros
306at the start of an article
307provided they do not overwrite existing definitions and
308that they send copies of their new macros with their text file.
309\verb"iopart" can be used with other package files such
310as those loading the AMS extension fonts
311\verb"msam" and \verb"msbm" (these fonts provide the
312blackboard bold alphabet
313and various extra maths symbols as well as symbols useful in figure
314captions); an extra style file \verb"iopams.sty" is provided to load these
315packages and provide extra definitions for bold Greek letters.
316
317In preparing your article you are
318requested to follow these guidelines as closely as possible; this will
319minimize the amount of file editing required and will hasten the
320production process. This is particularly important with regard to the
321reference list.
322
323The file name can be up to eight characters long with the suffix
324\verb".tex".
325Please use files names that are likely to be unique, and include
326commented material to identify the journal, author and reference number if
327known. The first non-commented line should be
328\verb"\documentclass[12pt]{iopart}"  to load the preprint class
329file. Other standard predeclared option files can be included in
330square brackets;
331copies of any non-standard options must be sent in with the source code.
332Omitting \verb"[12pt]" produces an article with the normal journal
333page and type sizes. Macros for the individual paper not included
334in a style file
335should be inserted in the preamble to the paper with comments to
336describe any complex or non-obvious ones.
337The start of the article text is signalled by
338\verb"\begin{document}".
339Authors of very long articles may find it convenient to separate
340their article
341into a series of files each containing a section, each of which is called
342in turn by the primary file.
343
344\section{The title and abstract page} 
345The code for setting the title page information is slightly different from
346the normal default in \LaTeX.
347
348\subsection{Titles and article types}
349The title is set in bold unjustified type using the command
350\verb"\title{#1}", where \verb"#1" is the title of the article. The
351first letter
352of the title should be capitalized with the rest in lower case.
353Mathematical expressions within the title may be left in light-face type
354rather than bold because the Computer Modern bold maths and symbol
355fonts may not be available at the size required for the title. 
356The final
357printed version will have bold mathematical expressions
358in the title. If the title is unsuitable for use as a running head a short
359form can be provided as an optional argument (in square brackets)
360before the full title, i.e. \verb"\title[Short title]{Full title}".
361A short title is required
362when the title itself is too long to
363be used
364as the short title or when the title contains a footnote.
365
366For article types other than papers the IOPP class file, \verb"iopart.cls",
367allows
368a generic heading \verb"\article[Short title]{TYPE}{Full title}"
369and the specific
370definitions given in table~\ref{arttype}. In each case (apart from Letters
371to the Editor) an
372optional argument can be used immediately after the control sequence name
373to specify the short title; where no short title is given the full title
374will be used as the running head at the top of each page apart from the
375first.
376For Letters no short title is required as
377the running head is automatically defined to be {\it Letter to the Editor}.
378The generic heading could be used for
379articles such as those presented at a conference or workshop, e.g.
380\begin{verbatim}
381\article[Short title]{WORKSHOP ON HIGH-ENERGY PHYSICS}{Title}
382\end{verbatim}
383
384
385\begin{table}

402\#1}\\
403\br
404\end{tabular*}
405\end{table}
406
407\subsection{Authors' names and addresses}
408The next information required is the list of authors' names and
409their affiliations. For the authors' names type \verb"\author{#1}",
410where \verb"#1" is the
411list of all authors' names. The style for the names is initials then
412surname, with a comma after all but the last
413two names, which are separated by `and'. Initials should {\it not} have
414full stops. First names may be used if
415desired. If the authors are at different addresses one of the symbols
416\dag, \ddag, \S, $\|$, \P, $^+$, *, $\sharp$ should be used after each
417surname to reference an author to his/her address.
418The symbols should be used in the order given.  If
419an author has additional information to appear as a footnote, such as
420a permanent address, and the
421footnote symbols are not being used to identify an address,
422the footnote should be entered after the surname
423as a normal \LaTeX\ footnote, without
424specifying a sign. Where footnote symbols are being used to indicate
425which address the author is at, the
426symbol used for a footnote should be the next one from the list given
427above and has to be selected individually using the command
428\verb"\footnote[<num>]{Text of footnote}", where \verb"<num>" is a
429number representing the position of the desired symbol in the list above,
430i.e.\ 1 for \dag, 2 for \ddag, etc.
431
432The addresses of the authors' affiliations follow the list of authors.
433Each address is set by using
434\verb"\address{#1}" with the address as the single parameter in braces.
435If there is more
436than one address then the appropriate symbol should come at the start of
437the address.
438 
439Please also add the corresponding author's e-mail address if applicable. This is done by inserting the
440command \verb"\ead{#1}" before the command \verb"\maketitle" where \verb"#1" is the e-mail address. 
441See section~\ref{startsample} for sample coding. For more than one e-mail address, please use the command
442\verb"\eads{\mailto{#1}, \mailto{#2}}" with \verb"\mailto" surrounding each e-mail address. These
443macros allow us to convert e-mail addresses to `mailto' links when articles are published on our
444website.
445
446\subsection{The abstract}
447The abstract follows the addresses and
448should give readers concise information about the content
449of the article and indicate the main results obtained and conclusions
450drawn. It should be complete in itself with no table numbers, figure
451numbers or references included and should not normally exceed 200
452words.
453To indicate the start
454of the abstract type \verb"\begin{abstract}" followed by the text of the
455abstract (not in braces).  The abstract should normally be restricted
456to a single paragraph and is terminated by the command
457\verb"\end{abstract}"
458
459\subsection{Subject classification numbers}
460Following the abstract come any
461Physics and Astronomy Classification System (PACS) codes
462or American Mathematical Society
463(AMS) classification scheme numbers. 
464The command
465\verb"\pacs{#1}", with the subject classification numbers from the 
466Physics and Astronomy Classification Scheme as the parameter, defines
467the subject area of the paper (or for a single number \verb"\pacno{#1}"). 
468If PACS numbers are not readily
469available, {\it Physics Abstracts\/} classification scheme numbers can be
470given instead. If this command  is omitted the
471classification numbers for indexing
472will be allocated by IOPP staff. It is
473unnecessary to supply PACS numbers for {\it Inverse
474Problems} and {\it Physics in Medicine and Biology}.
475AMS classification numbers may be given as well as, or instead of, PACS
476numbers for mathematical articles, they are specified using the
477command \verb"\ams{#1}".
478After any classification numbers the command
479\verb"\submitto{#1}" can be inserted, where \verb"#1" is the journal name written in full or the appropriate control sequence as
480given in
481~\ref{jlab1}. This will print a line indicating that the article has been submitted to one of the Institute of Physics journals. The command is not essential to the running of the file. 
482
483
484\subsection{Making a separate title page}
485The command \verb"\maketitle" forces a page break after the point where it
486is inserted and so to keep the header material on a separate page from the
487body of the text insert \verb"\maketitle" or \verb"\newpage" after the
488classification codes

528\subsection{AMS macros}
529Please do not use the style file \verb"amsmath.sty" (part of the AMSTeX package) in conjunction with \verb"iopart.cls". This will result in several errors. To make use of the macros defined in \verb"amsmath.sty", we have provided the file \verb"setstack.sty" which reproduces the following useful macros from \verb"amsmath.sty":
530\begin{verbatim}
531\overset
532\underset
533\sideset
534\substack
535\boxed
536\leftroot
537\uproot

543\section{The text}
544\subsection{Sections, subsections and subsubsections}
545The text of papers and reviews, but not comments or letters, should be
546divided into sections, subsections and, where necessary,
547subsubsections. To start a new section, end the previous paragraph and
548then include \verb"\section" followed by the section heading within braces.
549Numbering of sections is done {\it automatically} in the headings:
550sections will be numbered 1, 2, 3, etc, subsections will be numbered
5512.1, 2.2,  3.1, etc, and subsubsections will be numbered 2.3.1, 2.3.2,
552etc.  Cross references to other sections in the text should, where
553possible, be made using
554labels (see section~\ref{xrefs}) but can also
555be made manually. See section~\ref{eqnum} for information on the numbering of displayed equations. Subsections and subsubsections are
556similar to sections but
557the commands are \verb"\subsection" and \verb"\subsubsection" respectively.
558Sections have a bold heading, subsections an italic heading and
559subsubsections an italic heading with the text following on directly.
560\begin{verbatim}
561\section{This is the section title}
562\subsection{This is the subsection title}
563\end{verbatim}
564
565
566The first section is normally an introduction,  which should state clearly
567the object of the work, its scope and the main advances reported, with
568brief references to relevant results by other workers. In long papers it is
569helpful to indicate the way in which the paper is arranged and the results
570presented.
571
572For articles not divided into sections, precede the
573start of the text (without leaving a blank line)
574with the command \verb"\nosections", which provides the
575appropriate space and causes the paragraph indentation to be cancelled
576for the first paragraph.
577
578Footnotes should be avoided whenever possible. If required they should be
579used only for brief notes that do not fit conveniently into the text. The
580standard \LaTeX\ macro \verb"\footnote" should be used and will normally
581give an appropriate symbol; if a footnote sign needs to be specified
582directly \verb"\footnote[<num>]{Text}" can be used instead where
583\verb"<num>" is the number of the appropriate symbol as discussed in
584relation to authors (1~=~\verb"\dag", 2~=~\verb"\ddag", 3~=~\verb"\S",
585etc). 
586
587\subsection{Acknowledgments}
588Authors wishing to acknowledge assistance or encouragement from
589colleagues, special work by technical staff or financial support from
590organizations should do so in an unnumbered Acknowledgments section
591immediately following the last numbered section of the paper. The
592command \verb"\ack" sets the acknowledgments heading as an unnumbered
593section. For Letters
594\verb"\ack" does not set a heading but leaves a line space and does not
595indent the next paragraph.
596
597\subsection{Appendices}
598Technical detail that it is necessary to include, but that interrupts
599the flow of the article, may be consigned to an appendix.
600Any appendices should be included at the end of the main text of the paper, after the acknowledgments section (if any) but before the reference list.
601If there are
602two or more appendices they will be called Appendix A, Appendix B, etc.
603Numbered equations will be in the form (A.1), (A.2), etc,
604figures will appear as figure A1, figure B1, etc and tables as table A1,
605table B1, etc.
606
607The command \verb"\appendix" is used to signify the start of the
608appendixes. Thereafter \verb"\section", \verb"\subsection", etc, will
609give headings appropriate for an appendix. To obtain a simple heading of
610`Appendix' use the code \verb"\section*{Appendix}". If it contains
611numbered equations, figures or tables the command \verb"\appendix" should
612precede it and \verb"\setcounter{section}{1}" must follow it.
613 
614\subsection{Some matters of style}
615It will help your readers if your article is written in a clear,
616consistent and concise manner. The Production Department at Institute of Physics
617Publishing will try to make sure that your work is presented to its
618readers in the best possible way without sacrificing the individuality of
619your writing.
620
621The main elements of consistency and style we look for
622are presented in the booklet
623{\it Notes for Authors} (available upon request from Institute of Physics
624Publishing,
625Dirac House, Temple Back, Bristol, BS1 6BE, UK or from our World Wide
626Web site (\verb"http://www.iop.org/Journals/nfa/"). Some recommended
627points to note, however, are the following.
628\begin{enumerate}
629\item Authors are often inconsistent in the use of `ize' and `ise' endings.
630We recommend using `-ize' spellings (diagonalize,
631renormalization, minimization, etc) but there are some common
632exceptions to this, for example: devise,
633promise and advise.
634
635\item English spellings are preferred (colour, flavour, behaviour,
636tunnelling, artefact, focused, focusing, fibre, etc). We write of a
637computer program on disk; otherwise, we use `programme' and `disc'.
638
639\item The words table, figure, equation and reference should be written
640in full and {\bf not} contracted to Tab., fig., eq. and ref.
641\end{enumerate}
642
643Please check your article carefully for accuracy, consistency and clarity before
644submission. Remember that your article will probably be read by many
645people whose native language is not English and who may not therefore
646be aware of many of the subtle meanings of words or idiomatic phases
647present in the English language. It therefore helps if you try and keep
648sentences as short and simple as possible.
649
650\section{Mathematics}
651\subsection{Two-line constructions}
652The great advantage of \LaTeX\
653over other text processing systems is its
654ability to handle mathematics to almost any degree of complexity. However,
655in order to produce an article suitable for publication within a journal,
656authors should exercise some restraint on the constructions used.
657For simple fractions in the text the solidus \verb"/", as in
658$\lambda/2\pi$, should be used instead of \verb"\frac" or \verb"\over",
659care being taken to use parentheses where necessary to avoid ambiguity,
660for example to distinguish between $1/(n-1)$ and $1/n-1$. Exceptions to
661this are the proper fractions $\frac12$, $\frac13$, $\frac34$,
662etc, which are better left in this form. In displayed equations
663horizontal lines are preferable to solidi provided the equation is
664kept within a height of two lines. A two-line solidus should be
665avoided where possible; the construction $(\ldots)^{-1}$ should be
666used instead; for example use:
667\begin{equation*}
668\frac{1}{M_{\rm a}}\left(\int^\infty_0{\rm d}
669\omega\;\frac{|S_o|^2}{N}\right)^{-1}
670\end{equation*}
671instead of
672\begin{equation*}
673\frac{1}{M_{\rm a}}\biggl/\int^\infty_0{\rm d}
674\omega\;\frac{|S_o|^2}{N}.
675\end{equation*}
676
677
678\subsection{Roman and italic in mathematics}
679In mathematics mode \LaTeX\ automatically sets variables in an italic
680font. In most cases authors should accept this italicization. However,
681there are some cases where it is better to use a Roman font; for
682instance, IOPP journals use a Roman d for a differential d, a Roman e
683for an exponential e and a Roman i for the square root of $-1$. To
684accommodate this and to simplify the  typing of equations we have
685provided some extra definitions. \verb"\rmd", \verb"\rme" and \verb"\rmi"
686now gives Roman d, e and i respectively for use in equations,
687e.g.\ $\rmi x\rme^{2x}\rmd x/\rmd y$ 
688is obtained by typing \verb"$\rmi x\rme^{2x}\rmd x/\rmd y$".
689 
690
691Certain other common mathematical functions, such as cos, sin, det and
692ker, should appear in Roman type. \LaTeX\ provides macros for
693most of these functions
694(in the cases above, \verb"\cos", \verb"\sin", \verb"\det" and \verb"\ker"
695respectively); we have also provided
696additional definitions for $\Tr$, $\tr$ and
697$\Or$ (\verb"\Tr", \verb"\tr" and \verb"\Or", respectively).
698
699Subscripts and superscripts should be in Roman type if they are labels
700rather than variables or characters that take values. For example in the
701equation
702\[
703\epsilon_m=-g\mu_{\rm n}Bm
704\]
705$m$, the $z$ component of the nuclear spin, is italic because it can have
706different values whereas n is Roman because it
707is a label meaning nuclear ($\mu_{\rm n}$ 
708is the nuclear magneton).
709
710\subsection{Alignment of mathematics}
711\subsubsection{Alignment on the secondary margin.}
712IOPP style for displayed mathematics in single-column journals
713is not to centre equations,
714as \LaTeX\ normally does, but to have each equation indented to a
715secondary margin a fixed
716distance from the left-hand margin of the text, except for long
717equations that will just fit on one line, or need to be continued on
718subsequent lines, which start full left. 
719Any continuation lines are indented the fixed amount.
720The macros in the IOPP preprint style automatically
721line equations up on the
722secondary margin unless they are set within double dollar signs.
723Thus the use of double dollar signs should be avoided and the alternative
724\verb"\[ ... \]" should be used instead for unnumbered equations.
725The equation environment should normally be used for numbered single-line
726equations and the eqnarray array environment for multiline equations.
727It is then only necessary to indicate which lines
728should start full left and this is done by including \verb"\fl" (full
729left) at the start of the lines.
730Thus the equations:
731\begin{eqnarray}
732\phi_{k}(\vec{r})=(2\pi)^{-3/2} \exp(\rmi\vec{k}\cdot\vec{r}) \\
733N^+=\exp(\case12\pi\nu)\Gamma(1-\rmi\nu).
734\end{eqnarray} 
735are set with the code
736\begin{verbatim}
737\begin{eqnarray}
738\phi_{k}(\vec{r})=(2\pi)^{-3/2} \exp(\rmi\vec{k}\bdot\vec{r}) \\
739N^+=\exp(\case12\pi\nu)\Gamma(1-\rmi\nu).
740\end{eqnarray} 
741\end{verbatim}
742Where an equation will not fit on a line if indented but would if it
743were not, then the equation is started full left and this is achieved
744simply by adding \verb"\fl" to the start of the line. For example
745the equation
746\begin{equation}
747\fl R_{\rho l m,\rho'l'm'}(E)=\frac{1}{r_0}\sum_{i,j}\;\langle\rho l m r_0
748\mid\Phi_i\rangle\; [(H_{\Omega}+B)-ES_{\Omega}]^{-1}_{i,j}\;\langle\Phi_j
749\mid\rho'l'm'r_0\rangle.
750\end{equation}
751does not fit on the line if indented to the secondary margin but fits in
752comfortably when full left.
753
754
755For equations which do not fit on one line, even if started full left,
756the first line should be set full left with the turnover lines at the
757secondary margin. This is achieved by using the eqnarray
758environment
759and adding \verb"\fl" at the start
760of the first line and \verb"\\" at the end of each line (apart from
761the final line of the equation). Equations should be split at
762mathematically sound points, often at =, + or $-$ signs or between
763terms multiplied together. The connecting signs are not repeated and
764appear only at the beginning of the turned-over line. A multiplication
765sign should be added to the start of turned-over lines where the break
766is between two multiplied terms. Where an equation is broken at an
767equals sign (or similar, i.e.\ $\equiv$, $\le$, $\sim$, etc) the sign
768is made more prominent by aligning it to the left of the secondary
769margin; where it is a +, $-$ or $\times$ the sign goes to the right.
770Alignment to the left of the secondary margin is achieved by adding
771\verb"\lo" in front of the sign (and enclosing the sign within braces if it
772consists of more than one character or control sequence, e.g.\
773\verb"\lo{:=}"). An example demonstrating these features is:
774\begin{eqnarray} 
775\fl\langle\cos(q\Omega_s)\rangle=\frac12\int^\infty_0
776\frac{k_s(b)}{k^{\rm tot}_s}\{\cos[q\Omega^{\rm o}_S(b_f,R^s_{x})]+
777\cos[q\Omega^{\rm i}_S(b_f,R^s_{x})]\}
7782\pi b\, \rmd b\nonumber\\ 
779\lo=\sum_c{(\mu^s_c)^2/\vert\Delta V'_s(R^s_{\rm c})\vert \over \sum_n
780(R^s_n\mu^s_n)^2(1-V^s_n/E)^{1/2}/\vert\Delta'_s(R^s_n)\vert}\nonumber\\ 
781\times \frac12\int^{b_{\rm max}}_0
782\{\cos[q\Omega^{\rm o}_S(b_f,R^s_{\rm c})]
783+\cos[q\Omega^{\rm i}_S(b_f,R^s_{\rm c})]\} 
784b\, \rmd b/v_s(b,R^s_{\rm c}).
785\end{eqnarray} 
786where a simplified version of the
787code used is:
788\begin{verbatim} 
789\begin{eqnarray} 
790\fl    <first line>  \nonumber\\ 
791\lo=   <second line> \nonumber\\
792\times <third line> 
793\end{eqnarray} 
794\end{verbatim} 
795
796Note that alignment at the secondary margin normally takes
797precedence over aligning equals signs so there is usually no need
798to include any ampersands within the
799\verb"eqnarray" environment.
800
801
802\subsubsection{Secondary alignment.}
803While the primary alignment either on the secondary
804margin or full left is adequate in most cases
805there are examples where additional
806alignment is desirable. Firstly, for repeated series of short
807equations, secondly for
808equations with attached conditions and thirdly for connected
809series of equations with a short left-hand side which together
810occupy more than a full line but where each individual
811part is short. In these cases the \verb"eqnarray" environment
812should be used; there will still be alignment at the
813secondary margin but ampersands should be positioned to
814provide the secondary alignment. For equations with conditions the
815space separating the longest part from its condition is provided by
816\verb"\qquad". Examples of equations requiring secondary alignment are:
817\begin{eqnarray}
818A^{(3/2)}=A^{(+)}-A^{(-)}&(I=\case32)\\
819A^{(1/2)}=A^{(+)}+2A^{(-)}\qquad&(I=\case12)\\           
820A^{(0)}&({\rm otherwise}).
821\end{eqnarray}
822which is obtained with the code
823\begin{verbatim}
824\begin{eqnarray}
825A^{(3/2)}=A^{(+)}-A^{(-)}&(I=\case32)\\
826A^{(1/2)}=A^{(+)}+2A^{(-)}\qquad&(I=\case12)\\           
827A^{(0)}&({\rm otherwise}).
828\end{eqnarray}
829\end{verbatim}
830and
831\begin{eqnarray}
832C(12)&=[\vec\pi(x)\cdot\vec\phi(x+r)]\nonumber\\
833&\simeq 1-{\rm const}{r^2\over L^2}\int^L_r{x\, \rmd x\over 
834x^2}+\cdots\\
835&\simeq 1-{\rm const}{r^2\over L^2}\ln\left({L\over r}\right)+\cdots.
836\end{eqnarray}
837for which the code is
838\begin{verbatim}
839\begin{eqnarray}
840C(12)&=[\vec\pi(x)\cdot\vec\phi(x+r)]\nonumber\\
841&\simeq 1-{\rm const}{r^2\over L^2}\int^L_r{x\, \rmd x\over 
842x^2}+\cdots\\
843&\simeq 1-{\rm const}{r^2\over L^2}\ln\left({L\over r}\right)+\cdots.
844\end{eqnarray}
845\end{verbatim}
846
847\subsection{Displayed equations in double-column journals}
848The way equations are displayed in the Institute of Physics Publishing
849double-column journals differs from that in single-column journals.
850However
851authors submitting to double-column journals can produce their equations
852as described above for single-column journals
853and conversion to the proper double-column format will
854take place here as proofs are being prepared.
855
856\subsection{Special characters for mathematics}
857Bold italic characters are used in our journals to signify vectors (rather
858than using an upright bold or an over arrow). To obtain this effect
859use \verb"\bi{#1}" within maths mode, e.g. $\bi{ABCdef}$. If upright
860bold characters are required in maths use \verb"\mathbf{#1}" within maths
861mode, e.g. $\mathbf{XYZabc}$. The calligraphic (script) uppercase alphabet
862is obtained with \verb"\mathcal{AB}" or \verb"\cal{CD}"
863($\mathcal{AB}\cal{CD}$).
864
865The American Mathematical Society provides a series of extra symbol fonts
866to use with \LaTeX\ and packages containing the character definitions to
867use these fonts. Authors wishing to use Fraktur
868\ifiopams$\mathfrak{ABC}$ \fi
869or Blackboard Bold \ifiopams$\mathbb{XYZ}$ \fi can include the appropriate
870AMS package (e.g. amsgen, amsfonts, amsbsy, amssymb) with a
871\verb"\usepackage" command or add the command \verb"\usepackage{iopams}"
872which loads the four AMS packages mentioned above and also provides
873definitions for extra bold characters (all Greek letters and some
874additional other symbols).
875
876The package iopams uses the definition \verb"\boldsymbol" in amsbsy
877which allows individual non-alphabetical symbols and Greek letters to be
878made bold within equations.
879The bold Greek lowercase letters \ifiopams$\balpha \ldots\bomega$,\fi 
880are obtained with the commands
881\verb"\balpha" \dots\ \verb"\bomega" (but note that
882bold eta\ifiopams, $\bfeta$,\fi\ is \verb"\bfeta" rather than \verb"\beta")
883and the capitals\ifiopams, $\bGamma\ldots\bOmega$,\fi\ with commands
884\verb"\bGamma" \dots\
885\verb"\bOmega". Bold versions of the following symbols are
886predefined in iopams:
887bold partial\ifiopams, $\bpartial$,\fi\ \verb"\bpartial",
888bold `ell'\ifiopams, $\bell$,\fi\  \verb"\bell",
889bold imath\ifiopams, $\bimath$,\fi\  \verb"\bimath",
890bold jmath\ifiopams, $\bjmath$,\fi\  \verb"\bjmath",
891bold infinity\ifiopams, $\binfty$,\fi\ \verb"\binfty",
892bold nabla\ifiopams, $\bnabla$,\fi\ \verb"\bnabla",
893bold centred dot\ifiopams, $\bdot$,\fi\  \verb"\bdot", other
894characters are made bold using
895\verb"\boldsymbol{\symbolname}".
896
897Table~\ref{math-tab2} lists some other macros for use in
898mathematics with a brief description of their purpose.
899Both \verb"\ms" (medium space) and \verb"\bs" (big space) can be used to
900provide extra spacing between lines of a displayed equation or table.
901This space may be necessary when several separate equations are within the
902same equation environment.

936\subsection{Miscellaneous points}
937Exponential expressions, especially those containing subscripts or
938superscripts, are clearer if the notation $\exp(\ldots)$ is used except for
939simple examples. For instance $\exp[\rmi(kx-\omega t)]$ and $\exp(z^2)$ are
940preferred to $\e^{\rmi(kx-\omega t)}$ and $\e^{z^2}$, but
941$\e^2$ 
942is acceptable. Similarly the square root sign $\sqrt{\phantom{b}}$ should
943only be used with relatively
944simple expressions, e.g.\ $\sqrt2$ and $\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$;
945in other cases the
946power $1/2$ should be used.
947
948It is important to distinguish between $\ln = \log_\e$ and $\lg 
949=\log_{10}$. Braces, brackets and parentheses should be used in the
950following order: $\{[(\;)]\}$. The same ordering of brackets should be
951used within each size. However, this ordering can be ignored if the
952brackets have a
953special meaning (e.g.\ if they denote an average or a function).  Decimal
954fractions should
955always be preceded by a zero: for example 0.123 {\bf not} .123. For long
956numbers commas are not inserted but instead a thin space is added after
957every third character away from the position of the decimal point unless
958this leaves a single separated character: e.g.\ $60\,000$, $0.123\,456\,78$ 
959but 4321 and 0.7325.
960
961Equations that are referred to in the text should be numbered with
962the number on the right-hand side.
963
964
965\subsection{Equation numbering}
966\label{eqnum}
967\LaTeX\ provides facilities for automatically numbering equations
968and these should be used where possible. Sequential numbering (1), (2),
969etc, is the default numbering system although, if the command
970\verb"\eqnobysec" is included in the preamble, equation numbering
971by section is obtained, e.g.\
972(2.1), (2.2), etc. In articles with several appendixes equation numbering
973by section is useful in the appendixes even when sequential numbering has
974been used throughout the main body of the text and is switched on by the
975\verb"\appendix" command. Equation numbering by section {\it must} 
976be used for {\it Reports on Progress in
977Physics}. When referring to an equation in the text, either put
978the equation number, in brackets, e.g.\ `as in (2)', or spell out the
979word equation in full, e.g.\ `if equation (2) is factorized'; do not
980use abbreviations such as eqn or eq.
981When cross-referencing is used, \verb"\ref{<label>}"
982 will produce `(\verb"<eqnum>")',
983\verb"\eref{<label>}" produces `equation (\verb"<eqnum>")' and
984\verb"\Eref{<label>}" produces `Equation (\verb"<eqnum>")',
985where \verb"<label>"
986is the
987label to produce equation number \verb"<eqnum>".
988
989
990If an equation number is centred between lines then the
991command \verb"\eqalign{...}"
992can be used within the `equation' environment.
993After \verb"\begin{equation}" enclose the lines over
994which the number is
995to be centred
996within \verb"\eqalign{...}"  with
997\verb"\\" or \verb"\cr"
998at the end of each line. Ampersands are unnecessary within the
999\verb"\eqalign" but can be used for secondary alignment if necessary.
1000The code
1001\begin{verbatim}
1002\begin{equation}
1003\eqalign{T_{11}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}-(1-P_\e)
1004I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
1005T_{-1-1}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\downarrow}-(1-P_\e)
1006I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
1007S_{11}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\uparrow}-(3-P_e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}\\
1008S_{-1-1}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\downarrow}-(3-P_\e)
1009I_{\downarrow\downarrow}}
1010\end{equation}
1011\end{verbatim}
1012gives four equations with a centred
1013number:
1014\begin{equation}
1015\eqalign{T_{11}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}-(1-P_\e)
1016I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
1017T_{-1-1}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\downarrow}-(1-P_\e)I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
1018S_{11}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\uparrow}-(3-P_e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}\\
1019S_{-1-1}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\downarrow}-(3-P_\e)
1020I_{\downarrow\downarrow}}
1021\end{equation}
1022Note that the secondary alignment at the equals signs would not normally
1023be necessary but is included here for demonstration purposes.
1024
1025
1026Sometimes it is useful to number equations as parts of the same
1027basic equation. This can be accomplished by inserting the
1028commands \verb"\numparts" before the equations concerned and
1029\verb"\endnumparts" when reverting to the normal sequential numbering.
1030The equations below show the previous equations numbered as separate parts
1031using \verb"\numparts ... \endnumparts" and the \verb"eqnarray"
1032environment
1033\numparts
1034\begin{eqnarray}
1035T_{11}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}-(1-P_\e)
1036I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
1037T_{-1-1}&=(1+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\downarrow}-(1-P_\e)I_{\uparrow\downarrow}\\
1038S_{11}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\downarrow\uparrow}-(3-P_e)I_{\uparrow\uparrow}\\
1039S_{-1-1}&=(3+P_\e)I_{\uparrow\downarrow}-(3-P_\e)
1040I_{\downarrow\downarrow}
1041\end{eqnarray}
1042\endnumparts
1043
1044
1045\subsection{Miscellaneous extra commands for displayed equations}
1046The \verb"\cases" command of Plain \TeX\ is available
1047for use with \LaTeX\ but has been amended slightly to
1048increase the space between the equation and the condition.
1049\Eref{cases} 
1050demonstrates simply the output from the \verb"\cases" command
1051\begin{equation}
1052\label{cases}
1053X=\cases{1&for $x \ge 0$\\
1054-1&for $x<0$\\}
1055\end{equation}
1056The code used was:
1057\begin{verbatim}
1058\begin{equation}
1059\label{cases}
1060X=\cases{1&for $x \ge 0$\\
1061-1&for $x<0$\\}
1062\end{equation}
1063\end{verbatim}
1064
1065To obtain text style fractions within displayed maths the command
1066\verb"\case{#1}{#2}" can be used (see equations (2) and (5)) instead
1067of the usual \verb"\frac{#1}{#2}" command or \verb"{#1 \over #2}".
1068
1069When two or more short equations are on the same line they should be
1070separated by a `qquad space' (\verb"\qquad"), rather than
1071\verb"\quad" or any combination of \verb"\,", \verb"\>", \verb"\;"
1072and \verb"\ ".
1073 
1074
1075
1076\section{Referencing}
1077Two different styles of referencing are in common use: the Harvard
1078alphabetical system and the Vancouver
1079numerical system. All the IOPP journals allow
1080the use of the Harvard system but the numerical system should {\bf not} be
1081used in {\it Physics in Medicine and Biology}.
1082Brief descriptions of the use of the two
1083referencing systems are given below.
1084
1085\subsection{Harvard system}
1086In the Harvard system the name of the author appears in the text together
1087with the year of publication. As appropriate, either the date or the name
1088and date are included within parentheses. Where there are only two authors
1089both names should be given in the text; if there are more than two
1090authors only the first name should appear followed by `{\it et al}'
1091(which can be obtained by
1092typing \verb"\etal"). When two or
1093more references to work by one author or group of authors occur for the
1094same year they should be identified by including a, b, etc after the date
1095(e.g.\ 1986a). If several references to different pages of the same article
1096occur the appropriate page number may be given in the text, e.g.\ Kitchen
1097(1982, p 39).
1098
1099The reference list at the end of an article consists of an
1100unnumbered section containing an
1101alphabetical listing by authors' names and in date order for each
1102author or group of identical authors. The reference list in the
1103preprint style is started by including the command
1104\verb"\section*{References}" and then
1105\verb"\begin{harvard}".
1106There will be two basic types of
1107entries within the reference list: (i) those to journal articles and
1108(ii) those to books, conference proceedings and reports. For both of
1109these types of references \verb"\item[]"
1110is required before the start of an individual reference.
1111The reference list is completed with \verb"\end{harvard}".
1112There is also a shortened form of the coding; \verb"\section*{References}"
1113and \verb"\begin{harvard}" can be replaced by the single command
1114\verb"\References" and \verb"\end{harvard}" can be shortened to
1115\verb"\endrefs".
1116
1117
1118\subsubsection{References to journal articles.}
1119A normal reference to a journal article contains three changes of
1120font:
1121the authors and date appear in Roman type, the journal title in
1122italic, the volume number in bold and the page numbers in Roman again.
1123A typical journal entry would be:
1124
1125\smallskip
1126\begin{harvard}
1127\item[] Cisneros A 1971 {\it Astrophys.\ Space Sci.} {\bf 10} 87
1128\end{harvard}
1129\smallskip
1130
1131\noindent which would be obtained by typing, within the references
1132environment
1133\begin{verbatim}
1134\item[] Cisneros A 1971 {\it Astrophys. Space Sci.} {\bf 10} 87
1135\end{verbatim}
1136
1137Features to note are the following.
1138
1139(i) The authors should be in the form surname (with only the first
1140letter capitalized) {\bf followed} by the initials with {\bf no} 
1141periods after the initials. Authors should be separated by a comma
1142except for the last two which should be separated by `and' with no
1143comma preceding it. For journals that accept titles of articles in the
1144reference list,  the title should be in Roman (upright)
1145lower case letters, except for an initial
1146capital, and should follow the date.
1147
1148(ii) The journal is in italic and is abbreviated. \ref{jlabs} 
1149gives a list of
1150macros that will give the correct abbreviation for
1151many of the common journals. If a journal has several parts denoted by
1152different letters the part letter
1153should be inserted after the journal in Roman type, e.g.\
1154{\it Phys.\ Rev.\ \rm A}.
1155
1156(iii) The volume number is bold; the page number is Roman.
1157 Both the initial and final page
1158numbers should be given where possible. The final page number should be in
1159the shortest possible form and separated from the initial page number by an
1160en rule (\verb"--"), e.g.\ 1203--14.
1161
1162(iv) Where there are two or more references with identical authors,
1163the authors' names should not be repeated but should be replaced by
1164\verb"\dash" on the second and following occasions. Thus
1165\begin{verbatim}
1166\item[]Davis R, Mann A K and Wolfenstein L 1989  {\it Ann. Rev. Nucl.
1167Part. Sci.} {\bf 39} 467
1168\item[]\dash 1990 Private communication
1169\end{verbatim}
1170
1171\subsection{Electronic journal references}
1172These do not always follow the conventional {\it year-journal-volume-page numbers} pattern.
1173The journals may be electronic {\it and} print (e.g. {\it Phys. Rev.} D) or electronic only (e.g. {\it Living Reviews in Relativity}).
1174Electronic journals with unique referencing systems are given below.
1175
1176\begin{itemize}
1177\item {\it Phys. Rev. (parts A, C and D).} Each article has a six-digit unique reference number which is cited after the volume number. So, for example,
1178\smallskip
1179\numrefs{1}
1180\item Carlip S and Vera R 1998 {\it Phys. Rev.} D {\bf 58} 011345
1181\endnumrefs
1182\smallskip
1183Note that page numbers are no longer used.
1184
1185\item {\it Journal of High Energy Physics.}
1186This journal is primarily electronic, with a print version for archive purposes.
1187Papers are cited as per the following example.
1188\smallskip
1189\numrefs{1}
1190\item Davies K and Brown G 1997 {\it J. High Energy Phys.}
1191JHEP12(1997)002
1192\endnumrefs
1193\smallskip
1194with no spaces, where JHEP is obvious, 12 is the month (December in this case), 1997 is the year and 002 is the paper number.
1195
1196\item {\it Living Reviews in Relativity.}
1197This journal is electronic only. The short form for this journal is {\it Liv. Rev. Rel.} and papers are cited simply by a number consisting of year and article number. So, for example,
1198\smallskip
1199\numrefs{1}
1200\item Gundlach C 1999 {\it Liv. Rev. Rel.} 1994-4
1201\endnumrefs
1202\smallskip
1203\end{itemize}
1204
1205\subsection{Preprint references}
1206Since the introduction of the LANL preprint server this class of references has grown in importance.
1207To reflect this and to maximize  the number of hyperlinks available through IOPP's Hypercite service in our electronic journals, each preprint reference should be given in as much detail as possible. Such references should include authors, year of work and preprint number (preceded by the word {\it Preprint}).
1208An example would be
1209\smallskip
1210\numrefs{1}
1211\item Harrison M 1999 Dipheomorphism-invariant manifolds {\it Preprint} hep-th/9909196
1212\endnumrefs
1213\smallskip
1214If the preprint has been published then the full published reference is given first and the preprint details can be added in brackets after, on a separate line. So, for example,
1215\smallskip
1216\numrefs{1}
1217\item Neilson D and Choptuik M 2000 {\it Class. Quantum Grav.} {\bf 17} 761
1218\item[](Neilson D and Choptuik M 1998 {\it Preprint} gr-qc/9812053)
1219\endnumrefs
1220\smallskip
1221
1222\subsubsection{References to books, conference proceedings and reports.}
1223
1224References to books, proceedings and reports are similar, but have only two
1225changes of font. The authors and date of publication are in Roman, the
1226title of the book is in italic, and the editors, publisher,
1227town of publication
1228and page number are in Roman. A typical reference to a book and a
1229conference paper might be
1230
1231\smallskip
1232\begin{harvard}
1233\item[] Dorman L I 1975 {\it Variations of Galactic Cosmic Rays} 
1234(Moscow: Moscow State University Press) p~103
1235\item[] Caplar R and Kulisic P 1973 {\it Proc.\
1236Int.\ Conf.\ on Nuclear Physics (Munich)} vol~1 (Amsterdam: 
1237North-Holland/American Elsevier) p~517
1238\end{harvard}
1239\smallskip
1240
1241\noindent which would be obtained by typing
1242\begin{verbatim}
1243\item[] Dorman L I 1975 {\it Variations of Galactic Cosmic Rays} 
1244(Moscow: Moscow State University Press) p~103
1245\item[] Caplar R and Kulisic P 1973 {\it Proc. Int. Conf. on Nuclear
1246Physics (Munich)} vol~1 (Amsterdam: North-Holland/American
1247Elsevier) p~517
1248\end{verbatim}
1249\noindent respectively.
1250
1251
1252Features to note are the following.
1253
1254(i) Book titles are in italic and should be spelt out in full with
1255initial capital letters for all except minor words. Words such as
1256Proceedings, Symposium, International, Conference, Second, etc should
1257be abbreviated to Proc., Symp., Int., Conf., 2nd,
1258respectively, but the rest of the title should be given in full,
1259followed by the date of the conference and the
1260town or city where the conference was held. For
1261Laboratory Reports the Laboratory should be spelt out wherever
1262possible, e.g.\ {\it Argonne National Laboratory Report}.
1263
1264(ii) The volume number as, for example, vol~2, should be followed by
1265the editors, if any, in a form such as ed~A~J~Smith and P~R~Jones. Use
1266\etal if there are more than two editors. Next comes the town of
1267publication and publisher, within brackets and separated by a colon,
1268and finally the page numbers preceded by p if only one number is given
1269or pp if both the initial and final numbers are given.
1270
1271Cross referencing between the text and the
1272reference list is not necessary for alphabetic referencing
1273in the Harvard system as adding or deleting a reference
1274does not normally change any of the other references.
1275
1276\subsection{Numerical system}
1277In the numerical system references are numbered sequentially
1278throughout the text. The numbers occur within square brackets and one
1279number can be used to designate several references. A numerical
1280reference list in the preprint style is started by including the
1281command \verb"\section*{References}" and then
1282\verb"\begin{thebibliography}{<num>}", where \verb"<num>" is the largest
1283number in the reference list (or any other number with the same number
1284of digits).  The
1285reference list gives the references in
1286numerical, not alphabetical, order and is completed by
1287\verb"\end{thebibliography}". Short forms of the commands are again
1288available: \verb"\Bibliography{<num>}" can be used at the start of the
1289references section and \verb"\endbib" at the end.
1290(Note that footnotes should not be
1291part of a numerical reference system, but should be included in the
1292text using the symbols \dag, \ddag, etc.)
1293
1294References to journals and books are similar to those in the Harvard
1295system, except that two or more references with identical authors are
1296spelt out in full, i.e.\ they are {\bf not} replaced with \verb"\dash".
1297When one number covers two or more separate references \verb"\nonum"
1298or \verb"\par\item[]" should be included at
1299the start of each reference in a group after the first.
1300A typical numerical reference list might begin
1301
1302\smallskip
1303
1304\numrefs{1}
1305\item Dorman L I 1975 {\it Variations of Galactic Cosmic Rays} (Moscow:
1306Moscow State University Press) p~103
1307\item Caplar R and Kulisic P 1973 {\it Proc.\ Int.\ Conf.\
1308on Nuclear Physics (Munich)} vol~1 (Amsterdam: 
1309North-Holland/American Elsevier) p~517
1310\item Cisneros A 1971 {\it Astrophys. Space Sci.} {\bf 10} 87
1311\endnumrefs
1312\smallskip
1313
1314\noindent which would be obtained by typing
1315
1316\begin{verbatim}
1317\item Dorman L I 1975 {\it Variations of Galactic Cosmic Rays} 
1318(Moscow: Moscow State University Press) p~103
1319\item Caplar R and Kulisic P 1973 {\it Proc. Int. Conf.
1320on Nuclear Physics (Munich)} vol~1 (Amsterdam: 
1321North-Holland/American Elsevier) p~517
1322\item Cisneros A 1971 {\it Astrophys. Space Sci.} {\bf 10} 87
1323\end{verbatim}
1324
1325The point to note is that this is identical to the entries in the
1326Harvard system except that square brackets following
1327\verb"\item" are no longer required.
1328If you are using \LaTeX's cross-referencing system then \verb"\item" would be replaced by \verb"\bibitem{label}" corresponding to \verb"\cite{label}" in the text (see section \ref{refs}).
1329 
1330\subsection{Reference lists}
1331A complete reference should provide the reader with enough information to
1332locate the article concerned and should consist of: name(s) and initials,
1333date published, title of journal or book, volume number, editors, if any,
1334and town of publication and publisher in parentheses for books,
1335and finally the
1336page numbers. Titles of journal articles may also be included.
1337Up to twenty authors may be given in a particular reference; where
1338there are more than twenty only the first should be given followed by
1339`{\it et al}'. Abbreviations of the names of periodicals used by Institute
1340of Physics Publishing are usually the same as those
1341given in British Standard
1342BS 4148: 1985. If an author is unsure of an abbreviation and the
1343journal is not given in~\ref{jlabs},
1344it is best to leave the title in
1345full. The terms {\it loc.\ cit.\ }and {\it ibid.\ }should not be used.
1346Unpublished conferences and reports should generally not be included
1347in the reference list and articles in the course of publication should
1348be entered only if the journal of publication is known.
1349A thesis submitted for a higher degree may be included
1350in the reference list if it has not been superseded by a published
1351paper and is available through a library; sufficient information
1352should be given for it to be traced readily.
1353
1354\section{Cross referencing\label{xrefs}}
1355The facility to cross reference items in the text is very useful when
1356composing articles the precise form of which is uncertain at the start
1357and where revisions and amendments may subsequently be made. When using
1358cross referencing, labels are given to elements in the text, for
1359instance sections, figures, tables or equations and the elements may
1360be referred to elsewhere
1361in the text by using the label. When the article is
1362first processed the labels are read in and assigned, e.g.\ 2.1 for a
1363subsection or (4) for an equation number. When the article is
1364processed a second or subsequent time the label assignments are read
1365in at the start of the file and the correct values given in the text.
1366\LaTeX\ provides excellent facilities for doing cross-referencing
1367and these can be very useful in preparing articles.
1368
1369\subsection{References}
1370\label{refs}
1371Cross referencing is useful for numeric reference lists because, if it
1372is used, adding
1373another reference to the list does not then involve renumbering all
1374subsequent references. It is not necessary for referencing
1375in the Harvard system where the final reference list is alphabetical
1376and normally no other changes are necessary when a reference is added or
1377deleted.
1378Two passes are necessary initially to get the cross references right
1379but once they are correct a single run is usually sufficient provided an
1380\verb".aux" file is available and the file
1381is run to the end each time.
1382\verb"\cite" and \verb"\bibitem" are used to link citations in the text
1383with their entry in the reference list;
1384if the
1385reference list contains an entry \verb"\bibitem{label}",
1386then \verb"\bibitem{label}"
1387will produce the correct number in the reference list and
1388\verb"\cite{label}" will produce the number within square brackets in the
1389text. \verb"label" may contain alphabetic letters,
1390or punctuation characters but must not contain spaces or commas. It is also
1391recommended that the underscore character \_{} is not used in cross
1392referencing.
1393Thus labels for the form
1394\verb"eq:partial", \verb"fig:run1", \verb"eq:dy'",
1395etc, may be used. When several
1396references occur together in the text \verb"\cite" may be used with
1397multiple labels with commas but no spaces separating them;
1398the output will be the
1399numbers within a single pair of square brackets with a comma and a
1400thin space separating the numbers. Thus \verb"\cite{label1,label2,label4}"
1401would give [1,\,2,\,4]. Note that no attempt is made to sort the
1402labels and no shortening of groups of consecutive numbers is done.
1403Authors should therefore try to use multiple labels in the correct
1404order.
1405
1406The numbers for the cross referencing are generated in the order the
1407references appear in the reference list, so that if the entries in the
1408list are not in the order in which the references appear in the text
1409then the
1410numbering within the text will not be sequential. To correct this
1411change the ordering of the entries in the reference list and then
1412rerun {\it twice}.
1413
1414\subsection{Equation numbers, sections, subsections, figures and
1415tables}
1416Cross references can be made to equation numbers, sections,
1417subsections, figures and tables or
1418any numbered environment
1419and this is a very useful feature when
1420writing a document as its final structure is often not fully defined
1421at the start. Thus a later section can be referred to by a label
1422before its precise number is known and when it is defined there is no
1423need to search back through the document to insert the correct value
1424manually. For this reason the use of cross referencing
1425can save considerable time.
1426
1427Labels for equation numbers, sections, subsections, figures and tables
1428are all defined with the \verb"\label{label}" command and cross references
1429to them are made with the \verb"\ref{label}" command. The \verb"\label"
1430macro
1431identifies the type of environment it is used in and converts \verb"label"
1432into the correct form for that type of environment, thus \verb"\ref{label}"
1433might give (2.3) for an equation number but 3.1 for a subsection and 2
1434for a figure or table number.
1435
1436Any section, subsection, subsubsection, appendix or subappendix
1437command defines a section type label, e.g. 1, 2.2, A2, A1.2 depending
1438on context. A typical article might have in the code of its introduction
1439`The results are discussed in section\verb"~\ref{disc}".' and
1440the heading for the discussion section would be:
1441\begin{verbatim}
1442\section{Results}
1443\label{disc}
1444\end{verbatim}
1445Labels to sections, etc, may occur anywhere within that section except
1446within another numbered environment.
1447Within a maths environment labels can be used to tag equations which are
1448referred to within the text.
1449An example of an equation with a label and a reference to it
1450is:
1451\begin{verbatim}
1452\begin{equation}
1453X=a\cos\theta+ b\sin\phi. \label{cossin}
1454\end{equation}
1455Equation (\ref{cossin}) ...
1456\end{verbatim}
1457which produces
1458\begin{equation}
1459X=a\cos\theta+ b\sin\phi. \label{cossin}
1460\end{equation}
1461Equation (\ref{cossin}) ...
1462
1463In addition to the standard \verb"\ref{<label>}" the abbreviated
1464forms given in the \tref{abrefs}
1465are available for reference to standard parts of the text
1466
1467\Table{\label{abrefs}Alternatives to the normal references $\backslash${\tt ref} 
1468and the text generated by
1469them. Note it is not normally necessary to include the word equation
1470before an equation number except where the number starts a sentence. The
1471versions producing an initial capital should only be used at the start of
1472sentences.}

1487\section{Tables and table captions}
1488Tables are numbered serially and referred to in the text
1489by number (table 1, etc, {\bf not} tab. 1). Each table should have an
1490explanatory caption which should be as concise as possible. If a table
1491is divided into parts these should be labelled \pt(a), \pt(b),
1492\pt(c), etc but there should be only one caption for the whole
1493table, not separate ones for each part.
1494
1495In the preprint style the tables may be included in the text
1496or listed separately after the reference list
1497starting on a new page.
1498
1499\subsection{The basic table format}
1500The standard form for a table is:
1501\begin{verbatim}
1502\begin{table}
1503\caption{\label{label}Table caption.}
1504\begin{indented}
1505\item[]\begin{tabular}{@{}llll}
1506\br
1507Head 1&Head 2&Head 3&Head 4\\
1508\mr
15091.1&1.2&1.3&1.4\\
15102.1&2.2&2.3&2.4\\
1511\br
1512\end{tabular}
1513\end{indented}
1514\end{table}
1515\end{verbatim}
1516
1517Points to note are:
1518\begin{enumerate}
1519\item The caption comes before the table. It should have a full stop at
1520the end.
1521
1522\item Tables are normally set in a smaller type than the text.
1523The normal style is for tables to be indented in the same way as
1524equations. This is accomplished
1525by using \verb"\begin{indented}" \dots\ \verb"\end{indented}"
1526and putting \verb"\item[]" before the start of the tabular environment.
1527Omit these
1528commands for any tables which will not fit on the page when indented.
1529
1530\item The default alignment of columns should be aligned left and
1531adding \verb"@{}" omits the extra space before the first column.
1532
1533\item Tables have only horizontal rules and no vertical ones. The rules at
1534the top and bottom are thicker than internal rules and are set with
1535\verb"\br" (bold rule).
1536The rule separating the headings from the entries is set with
1537\verb"\mr" (medium rule).
1538
1539\item Numbers in columns should be aligned on the decimal point;
1540to help do this a control sequence \verb"\lineup" has been defined
1541which sets \verb"\0" equal to a space the size of a digit, \verb"\m"
1542to be a space the width of a minus sign, and \verb"\-" to be a left
1543overlapping minus sign. \verb"\-" is for use in text mode while the other
1544two commands may be used in maths or text.
1545(\verb"\lineup" should only be used within a table
1546environment after the caption so that \verb"\-" has its normal meaning
1547elsewhere.) See table~\ref{tabone} for an example of a table where
1548\verb"\lineup" has been used.
1549\end{enumerate}
1550
1551\begin{table}
1552\caption{\label{tabone}A simple example produced using the standard table commands
1553and $\backslash${\tt lineup} to assist in aligning columns on the
1554decimal point. The width of the
1555table and rules is set automatically by the
1556preamble.} 
1557
1558\begin{indented}
1559\lineup
1560\item[]\begin{tabular}{@{}*{7}{l}}
1561\br

1568\br
1569\end{tabular}
1570\end{indented}
1571\end{table}
1572
1573\subsection{Simplified coding and extra features for tables}
1574The basic coding format can be simplified using extra commands provided in
1575the \verb"iopart" class file. The commands up to and including
1576the start of the tabular environment
1577can be replaced by
1578\begin{verbatim}
1579\Table{\label{label}Table caption}
1580\end{verbatim}
1581this also activates the definitions within \verb"\lineup".
1582The final three lines can also be reduced to \verb"\endTable" or
1583\verb"\endtab". Similarly for a table which does not fit in when indented
1584\verb"\fulltable{\label{label}caption}" \dots\ \verb"\endfulltable" or \verb"\endtab"
1585can be used. \LaTeX\ optional positional parameters can, if desired, be added after
1586\verb"\Table{\label{label}caption}" and \verb"\fulltable{\label{label}caption}".
1587
1588
1589\verb"\centre{#1}{#2}" can be used to centre a heading
1590\verb"#2" over \verb"#1"
1591columns and \verb"\crule{#1}" puts a rule across
1592\verb"#1" columns. A negative
1593space \verb"\ns" is usually useful to reduce the space between a centred
1594heading and a centred rule. \verb"\ns" should occur immediately after the
1595\verb"\\" of the row containing the centred heading (see code for
1596\tref{tabl3}). A small space can be
1597inserted between rows of the table
1598with \verb"\ms" and a half line space with \verb"\bs"
1599(both must follow a \verb"\\" but should not have a
1600\verb"\\" following them).
1601   
1602\Table{\label{tabl3}A table with headings spanning two columns and containing notes.
1603To improve the
1604visual effect a negative skip ($\backslash${\tt ns})
1605has been put in between the lines of the
1606headings. Commands set-up by $\backslash${\tt lineup} are used to aid
1607alignment in columns. $\backslash${\tt lineup} is defined within
1608the $\backslash${\tt Table} definition.}

1620\item[] $^{\rm a}$ Self-supporting.
1621\item[] $^{\rm b}$ Deposited over Al backing.
1622\end{indented}
1623\end{table}
1624
1625Units should not normally be given within the body of a table but
1626given in brackets following the column heading; however, they can be
1627included in the caption for long column headings or complicated units.
1628Where possible tables should not be broken over pages.
1629If a table has related notes these should appear directly below the table
1630rather than at the bottom of the page. Notes can be designated with
1631footnote symbols (preferable when there are only a few notes) or
1632superscripted small roman letters. The notes are set to the same width as
1633the table and in normal tables follow after \verb"\end{tabular}", each
1634note preceded by \verb"\item[]". For a full width table \verb"\noindent"
1635should precede the note rather than \verb"\item[]". To simplify the coding
1636\verb"\tabnotes" can, if desired, replace \verb"\end{tabular}" and
1637\verb"\endtabnotes" replaces
1638\verb"\end{indented}\end{table}".
1639
1640If all the tables are grouped at the end of a document
1641the command \verb"\Tables" is used to start a new page and
1642set a heading `Tables and table captions'.
1643 
1644\section{Figures and figure captions}
1645Figures may be included in an article as encapsulated PostScript files or
1646using the \LaTeX\ picture environment. Alternatively authors may send in
1647high quality printed versions of their figures (fair copies) and
1648attach copies of the fair copies to each
1649typescript. The fair copies should be in black
1650Indian ink or printing on tracing paper, plastic or white card or
1651paper, or glossy photographs.
1652
1653Each figure should have a brief caption describing it and, if
1654necessary, interpreting the various lines and symbols on the figure.
1655As much lettering as possible should be removed from the figure itself and
1656included in the caption. If a figure has parts, these should be
1657labelled ($a$), ($b$), ($c$), etc.
1658\Tref{blobs} gives the definitions for describing symbols and lines often
1659used within figure captions (more symbols are available
1660when using the optional packages loading the AMS extension fonts).
1661
1662\begin{table}
1663\caption{\label{blobs}Control sequences to describe lines and symbols in figure
1664captions.}
1665\begin{indented}

1677\br
1678\end{tabular}
1679\end{indented}
1680\end{table}
1681
1682Unless the figures files are incorporated into the text
1683the captions should be listed at the end of the article.
1684
1685\subsection{Figure captions where figure files are not available}
1686The command \verb"\Figures" starts a new page and an unnumbered section
1687with the heading `Figure captions'.
1688The captions should then be set with the commands:
1689\begin{verbatim}
1690\begin{figure}
1691\caption{\label{label}Figure caption.}
1692\end{figure}
1693\end{verbatim}
1694or more simply
1695\begin{verbatim}
1696\Figure{\label{label}Figure caption.}                                         
1697\end{verbatim}
1698The caption should finish with a full stop and the printed version will be
1699indented as in Institute of Physics Publishing single-column journals.
1700
1701\subsection{Inclusion of graphics files}
1702If graphics files are available as encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files
1703(or are created within the \LaTeX\ picture environment) they may
1704be included within the body of the text at an appropriate point using a
1705standard graphics inclusion package. Authors should ensure EPS files meet
1706the following criteria.
1707\begin{itemize}
1708\item The Bounding Box should indicate the area of the figure
1709with a minimum of white space around it and not the dimensions of the
1710page.
1711\item Any fonts used should be from the standard PostScript set (Times,
1712Helvetica, Courier and Symbol).
1713\item Scanned images should be of 600 dpi resolution for line art (black
1714and white) and 150 dpi resolution for grayscale or colour.
1715\item Captions and labels (e.g.\ Figure 1) should not be included in the
1716EPS file although part letters (e.g.\ ($a$)) are acceptable provided they
1717are placed close or within the boundary of the figure.
1718\end{itemize}
1719
1720The precise coding required will depend on the graphics package being used
1721and the printer driver. We use a printer driver compatible with DVIPS but
1722authors should avoid using special effects generated by including verbatim
1723PostScript code within the \LaTeX\ file with specials other than the
1724standard figure inclusion ones.
1725
1726Using the epsf package figures can be included using code such as:
1727\begin{verbatim}
1728\begin{figure}
1729\begin{center}
1730\epsfbox{file.eps}
1731\end{center}
1732\caption{\label{label}Figure caption}
1733\end{figure}
