Preparation
of Manuscript for CVIU
Manuscripts
should be prepared according to the following style rules. Deviation from
these rules causes publication delays.
Manuscripts
prepared using TeX or LaTeX are welcome; however, LaTeX (2e) is preferred.
Authors are strongly encouraged to use the LaTeX template available at http://www.authors.elsevier.com/latex
for manuscript preparation. Note that the use of other specialized versions of custom
macros may necessitate conventional typesetting from a hard-copy manuscript.
The manuscript will be edited according to the style of the journal, and proofs
must be read carefully by the author.
Manuscripts
should be double-spaced on one side of 8.5 x 11-in. white paper or A4 white
paper with 1-in. margins. Number all pages consecutively.
Title page (page 1). This page
should contain the article title, authors' names, and complete affiliations,
footnotes to the title, and the address for manuscript correspondence
(including e-mail address and telephone and fax numbers
Abstract (page 2). The abstract
must be a single paragraph that summarizes the main findings of the paper in
less than 150 words. After the abstract, a list of up to 10 keywords that will
be useful for indexing or searching should be included.
References. Cite references in the
text by an Arabic numeral between brackets as [1], [1,2], [1, Theorem 5.4],
etc. It is suggested that text references be given in the form "As Jones
[31] showed...," rather than "As [31] showed...." References
should be listed in the order cited in the text and typed double-spaced
throughout.

For
unpublished lectures or symposia, include the title of the paper, name of the
sponsoring society in full, and the date. For journal names, follow
"Abbreviations of Names of Serials, Reviewed in Mathematical Reviews"
(American Mathematical Society). When in doubt about employing certain
abbreviations, use clarity as a guide.
Footnotes. In text, footnotes
should be avoided. If absolutely necessary, identify them by superscript Arabic
numerals in order of their appearance and type them together on a separate
page, double-spaced.
Tables. Number each table
consecutively with Arabic numerals in order of appearance in the text. Type
each table double-spaced on a separate page with a short descriptive title
typed directly above and with essential footnotes below. Authors should submit
complex tables as camera-ready copy.
Figures. Figures should be in a
finished form suitable for publication. Number figures consecutively with
Arabic numerals, and indicate the top and the authors on the back of each
figure. Lettering on drawings should be of professional quality or generated by
high-resolution computer graphics and must be large enough to take withstand
appropriate reduction. Figures should be submitted separately from the text.
Digital artwork of at least 300 dpi resolution is accepted in .eps or TIFF
formats. Type all legends consecutively on a separate sheet. Please visit our
Web site at http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork
for detailed instructions on preparing electronic artwork.
Color
figures.
One color plate will be published free of charge in each article, provided
color is deemed scientifically necessary by the reviewers and the Editorial
Board. Additional color figures in print will be charged to the author. Submit
color illustrations as original photographs, high-quality computer prints or
transparencies, close to the size expected in publication, or as 35-mm slides.
Polaroid color prints are not suitable. If, together with your accepted
article, you submit usable color figures, Elsevier will ensure, at no
additional charge, that these figures will appear in color on the Web (e.g.,
ScienceDirect and other sites)in addition to the one free color figure. Authors
should clearly state in a cover letter sent to the editorial office at submission
or at final acceptance which figures they would like reproduced in color for
free in the electronic version of the article only and which figures they would
like reproduced in color in the print and electronic versions at a cost to
them.
Equations. All equations should
be typewritten and the numbers for displayed equations should be placed in
parentheses at the right margin.
