How to prepare your manuscript

Your proceedings paper should be formatted by the LaTeX system in accordance with the ICRC2003 style guideline specified by a style file prepared by ICRC2003 LOC. For submission, we require to send a SINGLE archive file which contains following files:

1. A LaTeX Source text file named with your family name (e.g. author.tex if your family name is author) created using the style file specialized for ICRC2003 proceedings:
   • Style file: tsukuba.sty (Save this as "tsukuba.sty" in the same directory of your TeX source.)
   • LaTeX source sample ("icrc2003.tex")
   [Note that we accept only LaTeX files using this style as it is. If you need other format (MSword), please contact LOC to the e-mail address shown at the bottom of this page.]
2. EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) or PS (PostScript) figure(s) if any (e.g. figure1.eps)
   • EPS file for this sample source ("figure.eps")
   [See the sample source to see how to include figures in your paper.]
3. A PDF (Portable Document Format) file generated by the LaTeX source and figures (e.g. author.pdf)
   • sample PDF file ("icrc2003.pdf")
   [We need a PDF file in order to ensure the final image of your proceedings paper looks like what you expect.]

These files must be archived to a single file for submission in gzipped tar, ZIP, LZH or SIT format (see "Tips" below).

Here is an example session of preparing an archive file on UNIX-based systems: # vi author.tex [edit a LaTeX source file] # convert figure.gif figure.eps [convert a GIF graphic file to EPS] # latex author [compile the source to get a DVI file] # dvipdfm author [convert the DVI file to PDF] # ls author.tex author.pdf figure.eps tsukuba.sty # tar cvfz author.tgz author.tex figure.eps author.pdf [make an archive] Then author.tgz is the archive file to be e-mailed.

Tips for LaTeX typesetting, PDF generation and archiving

• General reference to LaTeX system can be found here.
• EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) or PS (PostScript) files can be created application programs that supports EPS  or PS output format. For example, gnuplot (graph plot) or xfig (drawing). More general graphic format files, such as GIF or JPEG, can be converted to EPS by programs such as convert, xv, or gimp. See Los Alamos e-Print help page for details and tips for optimization.
• A PDF (Portable Document Format) file can be created from a DVI file generated by LaTeX via programs such as dvipdfm. Or you can use Adobe Acrobat (commercial product) to create a PDF file from a PostScript file generated by dvips from a DVI file. You should check if your PDF file is OK using Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or recent version of Ghostview.
• Making archive: we can receive many formats shown below, although tar+gz (extension .tar.gz or .tgz) is preferred.
  • Gzipped tar (.tar.gz or .tgz): UNIX tar + GNU gzip or compatible
  • zip (.zip): MS-DOS/Windows zip (WinZip or compatible)
  • lha (.lzh): MS-DOS/Windows LHA or compatible
  • sit (.sit): Macintosh StuffIt or compatible
• FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for Los Alamos e-Print archive which is also useful for preparing LaTeX-based papers.
