To automatically inherit most of the correct formats and styles, please insert your text and other content directly into this template and save it as a Word document. You can replace all of the explanatory text here and above with the content of your paper. The main-body text should be in MS Word Style “J_IASS_PD_Text,” which will automatically provide 11-point Times New Roman, left and right justified with the first lines of all paragraphs not indented, and a 6-point space at the end of each paragraph.

CRITERIA FOR ACCEPTABLE PROJECT DESCRIPTIONS

The principal criterion for an acceptable Project Description (PD) is that the project should have innovative or distinctive features that are clearly described. In addition, the description should not exceed four pages, should conform to the format of this template, and should include clear photos and/or drawings of the project as well as brief explanatory text. All submissions are reviewed for acceptability, and the Editorial Committee reserves the right to accept or reject any PD submission.

SECTION TITLES

Section titles are in Style “J_IASS_PD_Section_Title,” are in all boldface capital letters, and should be unnumbered. There should be no subsections. The choice of sections is optional, but the following are some typical choices:

DESIGN CONCEPT

STRUCTURAL DESIGN

INNOVATIVE FEATURES

DETAILS AND CONSTRUCTION

REFERENCES [only if References are included, see below]

FIGURES, TABLES AND CAPTIONS

Following is a sample caption, including credit citation to be inserted where appropriate (alternatively, photo credits may be listed in a separate section preceding the References, see example below):

Full-width photo or drawing. Color images are welcome and encouraged.

Figure 1: Caption [credit, reference or acknowledgment for photo or figure, if needed] [Style “J_IASS_PD_Caption”]

Captions are in MS Style “J_IASS_PD_Caption,” are centered, and are in italic 10-point Times New Roman. The caption title is in italic boldface in MS Style “J_IASS_Caption_Title.” Figure and photo captions are below figures, while table captions should be above tables. Figures or tables may either be inserted across the width of the page or in a two-column format, as illustrated below.

Partial-width photos or figures (captions centered under each figure)

REFERENCING LITERATURE

If a few references describing the project or its innovations are included, they should be formatted according to the IEEE citation style (concise information at http://pitt.libguides.com/citationhelp/ieee) as shown in the sample reference list at the end of this template, and cited in the text by bracketed numbers such as [1]. If referring to a specific page of a reference, the citation should be of the form [2, p. 14]. The IEEE style dictates that the references should be numbered and listed at the end of the paper in the order in which they are cited. A sample reference list is appended below to show how to format the list and how to cite the different types of references. The Style is “J_IASS_PD_Refs.” [Note that the standardized abbreviation for the Journal of the IASS is J. IASS.]. If a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) exists and is known for a reference, please include it at the end of the citation as “DOI: (insert DOI here).”

COPYRIGHT

The copyright for a PD usually remains with the contributors – see the standard footer on the first page of this template – but the authors may assign the copyright to the IASS. As a prerequisite for publication a completed and signed IASS Copyright Declaration must be submitted to the IASS Secretariat. This form may be downloaded from the IASS website.

Acknowledgments

This is an optional un-numbered section in which may be included acknowledgments not present in the Key Project Data.

Photo Credits

This is an optional un-numbered section where photo and figure credits not included in captions may be listed.
