published in CSEE journals. They are categorized based on
Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined their construction, and use of color / shades of gray:
before the equation appears or immediately following.
Italicize symbols (T might refer to temperature, but T is the
unit tesla). Refer to “(1),” not “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),”
except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is ... .”

IV. UNITS
Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are
strongly encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary
units (in parentheses). This applies to papers in data storage.
For example, write “15 Gb/cm2 (100 Gb/in2).” An exception is
when English units are used as identifiers in trade, such as
“3½-in disk drive.” Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such
as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This
often leads to confusion because equations do not balance
dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the
units for each quantity in an equation.
The SI unit for magnetic field strength H is A/m. However,
if you wish to use units of T, either refer to magnetic flux
density B or magnetic field strength symbolized as µ 0H. Use
the center dot to separate compound units, e.g., “A·m2.”

V. SOME COMMON MISTAKES

The word “data” is plural, not singular. The subscript for
the permeability of vacuum µ0 is zero, not a lowercase letter
“o.” The term for residual magnetization is “remanence”; the
adjective is “remanent”; do not write “remnance” or
“remnant.” Use the word “micrometer” instead of “micron.” A

4) Tables
Data charts which are typically black and white, but
sometimes include color as demonstrated in Table I.
B. Multipart figures
Figures compiled of more than one sub-figure presented
side-by-side, or stacked. If a multipart figure is made up of
multiple figure types (one part is lineart, and another is
grayscale or color) the figure should meet the stricter
guidelines.
C.File Formats for Graphics
Format and save your graphics using a suitable graphics
processing program that will allow you to create the images as
