1、opexstyle3Attention OSA Express Journal AuthorsOSA Publishings Express Journals create archival-quality XML along with the PDF output. XML is the industry standard for producing and archiving scientific journal articles and is used in producing all other OSA journals. Having full-text XML will allow

2、 the express journals to be indexed more accurately and completely in MEDLINE, PubMed Central, and other databases; it will also allow the journal to meet its archival obligations and to prepare for new services, such as full-text semantic search and repurposing of content.In order to prevent delays

3、 in production, we ask that authors carefully adhere to the following new guidelines:Word and LaTeX. OSA accepts Word and LaTeX submissions; however, we encourage authors to submit papers in MS Word. OSA will not publish the same Word file that authors submit for their final revisions, so it is impe

4、rative that authors carefully check the final version of their paper before paying the publication fee. OSA uses a Word plug-in called eXtyles to normalize, format, tag, and parse the file into full-text XML. eXtyles automatically reformats, checks, and updates the references against the CrossRef an

5、d PubMed databases. In addition to running other auto-redact editing rules, eXtyles checks all reference, figure, table and equation callouts in the text to ensure all items are cited. For LaTeX manuscripts, full-text XML is created in the production stages; there is no reference cross-checking for

6、LaTeX manuscripts, so OSA requests that LaTeX authors ensure that the reference section is as accurate as possible.Author listing. All authors must be grouped together using superscripts to callout each affiliation. Hard returns (Enter key) must be used to separate each individual affiliation.Main t

7、ext. Authors must identify equations and figures in the text by inserting Fig. or Eq. before the number. Display equation numbers should appear in parenthesis Eq. (1). All references, figures, and tables must be called out in the text in the order they appear. Figures. Authors must use one image fil

8、e per figure. Figures need to be inserted as objects that are fixed and move with the text, not as floating objects. Figures should never be placed in a table environment.Tables. Authors must use Words Table editor to insert tables. Authors must not import tables from Excel. All content for each tab

9、le should be in a single Word table (do not split content for a single table across multiple Word tables). Equations. The Express journals do not accept equations built using the Word 2007 or 2010 Equation Builder. All equations should be created in MathType (or the Microsoft Equation editor from De

10、sign Science). We strongly encourage authors to use MathType 6.7. Note that LaTeX users can type LaTeX code directly into MathType for rendering in Word. Adherence to the above guidelines will significantly expedite the production of your paper. Instructions for the preparation of a manuscript for O

Since OSA does not routinely perform copyediting and typesetting for the express journals, use of the macros and style guide is critical

17、 to providing a consistent appearance.Except for numbering and titling of sections, which may not be desirable for short articles, the express journal style and layout rules have been followed in this guide. Also note that there is a checklist available in Section 6 that summarizes the style specifi

18、cations.2. Page layout and lengthPaper size should be U.S. Letter, 21.505 cm x 27.83 cm (8.5 in. x 11 in.). The printing area should be set to 13.28 cm x 21.54 cm (5.25 in. x 8.5 in.); margins should be set for a 2.54-cm (1 in.) top and 4.11-cm (1.625 in.) left, right, and bottom.To maintain a rapid

19、 publication cycle, the recommended page length for an express journal article is 6 pages. Higher publication fees apply to articles 715 pages in length. There is an additional per-page fee for manuscripts longer than 15 pages. 3. SoftwareOSA Express Journals accept Word and TeX files. 4. Typographi

20、cal styleAll fonts for text should be some version of Times New Roman. Text should be 10-pt., the title should be 18-pt., and the affiliation and references should be 8-pt. Do not add hyphenation at the end of a line.4.1 TitleCenter the title. The title should be in 18-pt. bold font. Use initial cap

21、 for first word in title or for proper nouns. Use lowercase following colon. Title should not begin with an article or contain the words first, new or novel. 4.2 Author nameCenter author names in 10-pt. bold font. Author names should appear as used for conventional publication, with first and middle

22、 names or initials followed by surname. Every effort should be made to keep author names consistent from one paper to the next as they appear within OSA publications.4.3 Author affiliationAll authors and affiliations should be styled in the following below. If all authors share one affiliation, supe

23、rscript numbers are not needed. The corresponding author will have an asterisk indicating footnote. All authors must be grouped together using superscripts to callout each affiliation.

If the work of another author is cited in the abstract, that citation should be written out without a number, e.g., author, journal, volume, first page, and year (T. Miller, Opt.

30、 Express 22, 1234 (2014).), and a separate citation should be included in the body of the text. The first reference cited in the main text must be 1.

List the OCIS code in parenthesis, followed by the term spelled out; separate OCIS terms with semicolons. Each paper must contain two to six OCIS codes. Use 8-pt. type for this line. Please avoid using OCIS codes (000.0000) General or (000.2700) General science, and instead customize these codes to best represent the topics of your manuscript.For a complete list of OCIS codes, visit: http:/www.opticsinfobase.or
