Use of the JACoW templates is mandatory and always download the latest template before starting, even if you have them already.
Ensure that the template you download corresponds to the version of software you are using. Do NOT convert documents across different platforms, MAC < > PC, or across different versions of Microsoft Word on the same platform. Always use the styles contained in the templates. The styles will automatically ensure correct typesetting and layout, and ensure you are not called to fix these problems again.
For those authors that have requested peer review, it is recommended to use the JACoW LaTeX template because this will minimize the work of re-formatting the contribution for the IoP version of the paper.
