This is where an abstract of your article should appear (Style Abstract). A good abstract combines a very short summary of the contents with the most relevant conclusions. When readers browse through a PDF and an article title catches their interest, the abstract is the first thing readers will check before they decide to read further. The article abstract is one of the most essential parts of the bibliographic records uploaded with the SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System. Articles without abstracts are regarded as not relevant and will not be consulted as a reference for future work. Therefore, an abstract is mandatory.

Introduction (Heading 2)

The page size used for eMetN Meteor Journal, is dinA4. If your Word is configured for another format please adapt your settings in Word to choose din A4 page format. This text uses the Normal style (see top right on the Word menu in the Tab “Home”). To improve the readability of an article, the text should be well organized by using different sections. Most papers start with an introduction, followed different sections to cover the history, methodology, results, discussion and conclusions.

Avoid using spoken language, do not use telegram style sentences or slogans. Each sentence should include a verb. Make sure that your spelling checker is pointed at English (United States). When you select all, the language can be chosen at the bottom of your Word window.

Make sure that the option “show hidden formatting symbols” is on so that you see all the carriage returns.

Next section (Heading 2)

Using sub sections (Heading 3)

Using different sections may require sub-sections to guide the reader through the article.

Using sub sections (Heading 3)

Your article will be integrated into the PDF journal and it helps the editor a lot when you deliver your article in a format that is close to the stylesheet used by MeteorNews. If you are not familiar with Word, we strongly recommend not to waste your time on lay-out issues. You can use either MS Word or simpler software such a Notepad or Wordpad. Keep your text and images separated until after the text has been formatted. Keep it simple.

Some common mistakes (Heading 3)

Numeric values should be mentioned with a dot to separate de decimal, no thousands delimiter (blank or comma) is used in scientific papers. Be consistent with the notations used.

If you struggle with English, we recommend to copy/paste your text in a simple draft of Gmail. Google provides excellent suggestions to correct mistakes. Apply the suggested corrections and copy/paste the corrected text back into your Word document using the paste option “Keep text only (T)”, the last option in the paste options in Word.

Next section (Heading 2)

Save your article by using the “Save As” command to define the name of your paper.

Equations (Heading 3)

The equations are probably the most difficult issue for authors. If you are not familiar with Word, either insert the equations as an image, or write them as a simple expression in a single line.

Use a long dash rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. All variables are written as italics. For instance:

Make sure that all variables are correctly explained and that units like meters, km/s, degrees, etc. are correctly mentioned with numeric values.

Figures and tables (Heading 3)

Large tables may span across both columns. Table captions should be above the tables, not below. To switch from two columns txt to one page wide, click on layout in the Word menu, click “breaks” and click “Continuously” in insert a continuous break, hit enter and mark the next line as one columns (just left of breaks under the Layout tab. To switch back to two columns, insert again a continuous break and mark the next line as two columns.

An easy trick to prepare numeric tables is to use Excel. Prepare your table in Excel and past your Excel table in Word using the “Use destination styles” option to paste the table. Do not paste as an image.

Table 1 – Example of table

Table Head	Column Head
Row head	Value
Row head	Value
Row head	Value
Total Row	Total Value

If you prepare graphics in Excel, paste these in the same way as a table from Excel in order to maintain all the Excel editing options. Do not paste graphs from Excel as an image.

Place figures at the top and bottom of columns. Avoid placing them in the middle of columns. Large figures may span across both columns. Figure captions should be below the figures. None breaking Space can be generated by “Ctrl+Shift+Space”, “–“ is generated by “Ctrl+Num + ‘-‘“. The following Figure 1 has been inserted with the section break (Continuous) (See under Layout in the Word menu).

Figure 1 – The evolution of the number of orbits in the CAMS@Benelux network (Style = Figure).

Conclusion (Heading 2)

Use formal language, avoid needless words. Do not write to long sentences

Acknowledgment (Heading 5)

The preferred spelling of the word “acknowledgment” in America is without an “e” after the “g.”.

References (Heading 5)

References will follow the following format for two authors (Roggemans and Campell-Burns, 2011), for 3 or more (Gritsevich et al., 2014b) or a single author (Egorova, 2012). Note how “et al.” is written. No first names of authors are mentioned in citations.

Number footnotes separately in superscripts. Place the actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which it was cited. References to URL’s tend to be short lived and therefore should be rather mentioned as footnote and not among the references. Do not put footnotes in the reference list.

Always give all authors’ names in the References section; do not use “et al.” in the references. Check your references with the ADS abstract service, incomplete and incorrect references require a lot of time from editors for corrections.

Example:

Jenniskens P., Gural P. S., Grigsby B., Dynneson L., Koop M. and Holman D. (2011). “CAMS: Cameras for Allsky Meteor Surveillance to validate minor meteor showers”. Icarus, 216, 40–61. (Reference style).

This is a foot note.
