Introduction

The oral presentation papers, virtual presentation papers, posters with paper, and virtual posters with paper are included in the proceedings for the conference, both in paper and digital form. To have a high-quality format for the proceedings, authors are asked to follow the guidelines for formatting CMC papers.

There are two easy ways to make sure your paper follows the guidelines. The first is to use this document a replace the content with your own. This document uses the predefined styles described in the guidelines. The second is to download the ‘.dot’ template file from the CMC Guidelines page and use the predefined styles for each part of the paper.

All figures (e.g. concept maps) must be in the same language as the paper. If needed, a translated figure should be included besides the original figure. To the extent possible, figures should be included within the text, not as appendices at the end. Make sure all figures are included and referenced properly. Even if they are at the end, figures are included in the page count limit. Make sure that figures are legible, particularly concept maps. If they are in color, make sure they read well when printed in black and white.
