R. Espanani, A. Miller and W. Jacoby

I. Statement of the Problem

In your own words, describe the problem tackled in the article. What did the journal set out to
achieve?

II. Brief Background

Briefly discuss the necessary background of the journal and the development of the underlying
motivation behind the article.

III. Materials and Methods

Discuss in your own words the specifics of how the study was conducted. What methods were
used? What are the important equations involved? If a new model/computational method is
introduced, how was it developed?

IV. Results and Discussions

Discuss the major findings and results of the article.

V. Conclusions

In your own words, summarize the author’s conclusions. What are the major outcomes of the study?

VI. Critique

Provide your analysis of the journal article. Give your analysis from abstract to conclusion; from
organization, structure, relevance, scientific soundness etc. Point out any questionable areas and suggest
ideas on how it can be improved upon. Recreate/verify equations and results or demonstrate how the
concepts presented can be applied and compare them to prevailing theories, methods, and conventions.

VII. References

Provide your analysis of the journal article. Give your analysis from abstract to conclusion; from
organization, structure, relevance, scientific soundness etc. Point out any questionable areas and suggest
ideas on how it can be improved upon. Recreate/verify equations and results or demonstrate how the

NOTES:
 Tables. Tables (refer with: Table 1, Table 2, ...) should be presented as part of the text, but in such a
way as to avoid confusion with the text. A descriptive title/caption should be self-contained and should be
placed above each table.. Units in tables should be given in square brackets [meV]. If square brackets are
not available, use curly {meV} or standard brackets (meV).

Special Signs. for example , α γ μ Ω () ≥ ± ● Γ {11 2 0} should always be written in with the fonts
Times New Roman or Arial

Figures. Figures (refer with: Fig. 1, Fig. 2, ...) should be presented as part of the text, leaving enough
space so that the caption will not be confused with the text. The caption should be self-contained and
placed below the figure.

Equations. Equations (refer with: Eq. 1, Eq. 2, ...) should be indented 5 mm (0.5"). There should be
one line of space above the equation and one line of space below it before the text continues. The equations
have to be numbered sequentially, and the number put in parentheses at the right-hand edge of the text.
Equations should be punctuated as if they were an ordinary part of the text. Punctuation appears after the
equation but before the equation number, e.g.

c2 = a2 + b2. (1)

Literature References
References are cited in the text using APA Style format. The references are to be listed at the end of the
contribution under a heading References in the order in which they are cited in the text.
