INTRODUCTION
This document gives you some guidelines regarding how to write your NORDITEL position paper. A position paper is a brief essay that presents a statement or opinion about an issue. The purpose of position papers is to take part in discussion with others in symposium. Position papers consist of introduction to the issue, presentation of the statement or opinion about the issue to be discussed, questions to be discussed with the audience.
By this template we hope to give the all contributions a uniform, high-quality appearance. To do this, we ask that authors follow some simple guidelines. In essence, we ask you to make your paper look exactly like this document. You are of course free to choose the name of the different sections.
The easiest way to do this is simply to download this template and replace the content with your own text and graphics, being careful not to add any new styles or redefine the template styles.
PAGE SIZE
All material on each page should be centered on an A4 (8.26 x 11.69 inch) page with 2.5cm (or 1 inch) margins all around. It is important to check these margins even if you use this Word template, because they might have been overwritten by your local settings.
TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES
Executive summaries should be 2 pages at the most. This includes everything: from the title to the references.  
FORMATTED TEXT
Carefully format your submission using the following styles:
Title and Authors
The title (Helvetica 18-point bold), authors' names (Times New Roman 12-point bold) and affiliations (Times New Roman 12-point not-bold) run across the full width of the page. We also recommend that you add your e-mail address using the affiliations style. If only one address is needed, center all address text. For two addresses, use two centered tabs or a table (as in this paper), and so on. For more than three authors, you may have to improvise. There should be one blank Normal (10 pt.) line between the title and authors.
Abstract and Keywords
Place two blank Normal (10 pt.) lines after the title, followed by an abstract of about 100 words. The abstract should begin with the word “Abstract.” in bold, and should be formatted in the “Abstract” style provided in this template (like Normal, but indented 1cm each side). The abstract should be a concise statement of the problem, approach, findings, and conclusions of the work described.
Place one blank Normal line after the abstract, followed by the word “Keywords.” in bold, and followed by a set of keywords, this being also formatted in Abstract style. The keywords should be chosen to be suitable for both an index of the proceedings and for electronic search.
One Normal line should follow the keywords before the first section header of your paper.
Body Text
Format the first paragraph of each section (following the section title) in the style “Body Text,” like this paragraph. Please use a 10-point Times New Roman font, or other Roman font with serifs, as close as possible in appearance to Times New Roman in which these guidelines have been set. The goal is to have a 10-point text, as you see here. Please use sans-serif or non-proportional fonts only for special purposes, such as distinguishing source code text (use 9 point Courier or similar). The Press 10-point font available to users of Script is a good substitute for Times New Roman. If Times New Roman is not available, try Times or Computer Modern Roman.
Format all remaining paragraphs of your paper in the style “Body Text First Indent,” like this paragraph. This style is like Body Text, but the first line is indented 0.5cm.
Lists
For lists, bulleted lists, and numbered lists, please use the MS Word styles “List,” “List 2,” “List Bullet,” “List Bullet 2,” “List Number,” “List Number 2,” etc. See example of List Bullet later in this paper. In general, use of styles rather than manual formatting is preferable to enable us to give the proceedings a uniform appearance.  
References and Citations
Use the standard APA (American Psychological Association) format for references – that is, a list at the end of the article, ordered alphabetically by first author, and referenced by publication year in parentheses. Be consistent with capitalization. See the examples of references at the end of this document. Within this template file, use the style named “References” for the text of your references (hanging paragraphs indented by 1 cm, with no space between lines). Within your text, cite the references with (Author, year).
References should be published materials accessible to the public. Internal technical reports may be cited only if they are easily accessible (i.e., you give an Internet address within your citation). Proprietary information may not be cited. Private communications should be acknowledged, not referenced, e.g., “(Robertson, personal communication).”
FIGURES
Figures should be inserted at the appropriate point in your text. Each figure should have a figure caption in Normal Times New Roman 10 point font.
