Abstract—These instructions provide guidance on the preparation of manuscripts for the proceedings of Student and Scientific Works in the Field of Industrial Electrical Engineering. Use this document as a template (Microsoft Word). Define all symbols used in the abstract and do not include citations in it. The recommended length of the abstract is 150 to 250 words.

Keywords—approximately four keywords or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by commas.

Introduction

This document is a template for Microsoft Word. Do not change the font sizes or line spacing in order to fit more text onto a limited number of pages. Use italics for emphasis; do not underline.

Insert figures at the cursor position via Insert | Picture, or by pasting from the clipboard (Paste Special | Picture, without the "float over text" option).

The manuscript may be written in Slovak or English. The length of the manuscript is 2 to 6 pages. Only documents in MS Word format are accepted.

Procedure for Submitting a Manuscript

Figures

Save graphics in a suitable format with sufficient resolution. If you prepare the source files in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel or in PDF format, the graphics do not need to be converted to PS, EPS or TIFF formats.

Electronic Image Files (optional)

The quality of the figures is decisive for the print quality. Although we accept several formats, the quality of poor images cannot be improved after submission. If a figure appears to be of poor quality on screen or in print, it will also be of poor quality in the proceedings.

When inserting graphics into this template, proceed as follows:

In the Edit menu, choose Paste Special, select the Picture option and confirm with OK. The figure will be inserted into the document.

When preparing figures in TIFF, EPS or PS format: prepare line art (high-contrast) figures and tables at a resolution of 600 dpi, without compression, 1 bit per pixel (monochrome).

Prepare photographs and grayscale figures at a resolution of 300 dpi, without compression, 8 bits per pixel.

Graphics Size

Most graphs and tables are one column wide (approximately 8.5 cm) or two columns wide (full page width). Avoid overly small figures; significant enlargement may reduce the reproduction quality.

Creating Figures

When preparing figures, use commonly available fonts so that they are displayed correctly for readers. Suitable fonts are, for example, Times New Roman, Arial, Courier, Symbol and Palatino.

Mathematical Expressions

Use the Word equation editor (Insert | Equation) or the MathType add-in to create equations. The "float over text" option must not be active.

Useful Advice

Figures and Tables

Place figure captions below the figures and table titles above the tables. Use the abbreviation "Fig." also at the beginning of a sentence; do not abbreviate the word "Table". Number tables with Roman numerals and figures with Arabic numerals. Verify that all figures and tables mentioned in the text actually exist, and vice versa.

Fig. 1 Magnetization as a function of the applied field

TABLE I

Units for Magnetic Quantities

Symbol	Quantity	Conversion from Gaussian / CGS EMU to SI
Φ	magnetic flux	1 Mx → 10⁻⁸ Wb
B	magnetic flux density	1 G → 10⁻⁴ T
H	magnetic field strength	1 Oe → (10³/4π) A/m
m	magnetic moment	1 erg/G → 10⁻³ A·m²
M	magnetization	1 G → (10³/4π) A/m
μ	permeability	1 → 4π×10⁻⁷ H/m

Label graph axes with words, not only with symbols, and give units in parentheses – for example "Magnetization (A/m)", not just "A/m".

Figure captions should be legible, with a font size of approximately 8 to 12 points.

References

Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation follows the bracket [2]. Refer to multiple sources as [2], [3] or [1]–[3]. Instead of "ref. [3]" write simply [3], except at the beginning of a sentence: "Reference [3] states … ".

Give the names of all authors; use the abbreviation "et al." only for six or more authors. Cite unpublished works as "unpublished" [4] and works accepted for publication as "in press" [5].

In the title of a work, capitalize only the first word, except for proper nouns and element symbols.

Abbreviations and Acronyms

Define abbreviations and acronyms at their first use in the text, even if they have already been defined in the abstract. Common abbreviations (for example SI, PLC, HMI) do not need to be defined. Avoid abbreviations in the title of the manuscript where possible.

Equations

Number equations consecutively; place the equation number in parentheses aligned with the right margin, as in (1). Use the equation editor and the style "SSIEE-Equation". Define the symbols in the equation before the equation or immediately after it.

(1)

Refer to equations as "(1)", not "eq. (1)", except at the beginning of a sentence: "Equation (1) …". Write quantity symbols in italics (for example T for temperature) and units in roman type (for example T for tesla).

Further Recommendations

Use a single space after a period and a colon. Use a decimal point according to English conventions and a zero before it: "0.25", not ".25".

Do not mix full unit names and unit abbreviations. Write a range of values using the word "to" or a dash: "7 to 9", not "7~9".

Ensure clarity and correct punctuation. Check the text thoroughly for spelling.

Have the text proofread before submission. If you are writing in a language other than your mother tongue, ask a proficient colleague for proofreading.

Common Mistakes

Ensure consistent terminology and correct use of technical terms. Separate chemical symbols without a specified composition with a dash (for example "Ni–Mn").

Join prefixes such as "non-", "sub-", "micro-" and "multi-" to the word they modify, as a rule without a hyphen. Do not write the abbreviations "i.e." and "e.g." in italics.

A good source of information on writing technical texts is the cited reference [9].

Conclusion

The Conclusion section is not mandatory. The conclusion may summarize the main points of the work, but it should not duplicate the abstract. It may emphasize the significance of the work and indicate its further use and extension.

Appendix

Appendices, if needed, are placed before the acknowledgement.

Acknowledgement

The acknowledgement (for example, mentioning a grant project) is placed at the end of the manuscript, before the list of references.
