See Section 2.10 for format and content of references.

2.7 Abstract

Do not include an abstract.

2.8 Section and Subsection Headings

Use the decimal and font format used for these instructions.

2.9 Paragraphs

- Indent the start of each paragraph 0.5 inches.
- Single-space within each paragraph. Double-space between paragraphs.

2.9 Footnotes

Use the "Insert Footnote" feature and select "Auto Number".

2.10 References

Specify references in the text by putting the author's last name and the year of publication in parentheses; e.g., (Smith, 1991). If a reference has more than two authors, list only the first author's last name, followed by "et al." e.g., (Jackson et al., 1989).

List all the references at the end of the paper in alphabetical order.

A reference to an article should include all the authors' names (the senior author's last name should appear before their initials), the publication date, the title of the article, the name of the journal or other publication in which the articles appears, the journal volume and number, and inclusive page numbers.

Example: Gillespie, A.R. and A.B. Kahle, 1977, "Construction and Interpretation of a Digital Thermal Inertial Image," Photogramm. Eng. and Rem. Sens., vol. 43, no. 1, pp. 983-1000.

A reference to a book should include all the authors' names as above, the year of publication, the title of the book, the name of the publisher, the place of publication, and specific chapters or pages cited.

Example: Ulaby, F.T., R.K. Moore, and A.K. Fung, 1982, Microwave Remote Sensing Active and Passive, Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Massachusetts, pp. 102-117.

Notes:
- A personal communication is not a reference because a researcher seeking to duplicate this material would have to find and contact a person who might move, die, or not want to answer 50 requests for information.

- Likewise, "Submitted to the ..." is not a reference because the article might be rejected by the journal or withdrawn by the author. These items can be footnotes but not references.

- "In press" is acceptable because there is assurance that the article will be published in the near future, even though date, volume, and number might not be set.
