Abstract. The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper and should contain at least 70 and at most 250 words. It should be set in 11-point font size and should be inset 0 cm from the right and left margins. This document is in the required format.

Keywords: Choose up to six key words or phrases and locate them after the abstract of your paper, separated by commas. It is not required to capitalize each keyword.

Introduction

This document provides instructions for preparing manuscripts for publishing in CSIMQ. The document is also a sample of layout and template for the manuscripts submitted for publication.

The articles sent to the Editorial team are published from the manuscripts submitted in an electronic format. Therefore, it is very important that the authors observe precision and correctness of language. The authors bear responsibility for all language mistakes.

General Regulations

Manuscripts should be submitted in an electronic format. The recommended length of the manuscript is 7–25 pages) including information about the authors, abstract, images and appendixes. Prepare the manuscript with Microsoft Word (not older than MS Word 2007). When writing, use Times New Roman font. Enter the text in the style and sequence of this document.

The Roman numerals are used to number the sections. Paper title and sections headings should be capitalized. Appendix is placed in front of the references section. If author has ORCID ID, it should be written in footer as shown in footer of this page. The text shouldn't be hyphenated.

Page Layout. Use page setup with the following options: paper size A4 (height = 29,7cm; width = 21 cm). Margins:

left margin = 2,5 cm.

right margin = 2 cm.

top and bottom margins = 2 cm.

The page numbering starts from page 1, but the number is hidden on the first page. The header and footer areas are left blank.

Type Sizes, Spaces and Intervals are specified in Table 1.

2.1 Figures and Tables

All tables and figures (graphs, illustrations, line drawings, pictures, etc.) must be referred to in the text (Figure 1). Figures must be centered, captions format see in Table 1. Number the figures consecutively with Arabic numerals. Do not abbreviate the word “Figure” in the caption or in the text.

Figure 1. CSIMQ main research areas

Tables are numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals and have references in the main text. Use the Quick style set of this document to write table captions and text in the table. Table captions and titles should be centered (title that takes more than one line should be justified) and placed above the table. Do not abbreviate the word “Table” in the caption or in the text.

2.2 Programs and Codes

If necessary, include parts or entire texts of your programs using “Consolas” font.

void main(void)

{

WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD; //Stop watchdog

P3DIR |= 0x01; //P3.0 - output

for (;;)

{ unsigned int i;

i = 50000;do i--;while (i != 0); //SW Delay

P3OUT ^= 0xFF; } //Toggle P3.0

}

2.3 Equations

Use the equation editor to create your equations and select “CSIMQ – Equations” style for them. Place one tab before short equations to center them. Place one or two tabs after the equations to put equation’s number flush with the right margin, as in (1). Number the equations consecutively with Arabic numbers. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are a part of a sentence.
