<\/span>General Formatting Guidelines of AIP Style Guide<\/span><\/h2>\n
Here are the general guidelines to follow<\/a> while drafting a manuscript in AIP style<\/p>\n
- Mathematical operation signs indicating continuity of the expression should be placed at the left of the second and succeeding lines. Use \u201cx\u201d rather than a center dot, except for scalar products of vectors. The solidus (\/) should be used instead of built-up fractions in running text and in display wherever clarity would not be jeopardized. Use \u201cexp\u201d for complicated exponents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  <\/span>How to Cite Sources in AIP Style Guide?<\/span><\/h2>\n
  AIP style guide is different from other style guides in its referencing style<\/a>. It is a numbered style with references numbered in the order of appearance in the manuscript at the end of the article.<\/p>\n
  AIP Style consists of two types of citations<\/a>: a brief \u201cIn-text Citation\u201d throughout the text of the paper and a detailed \u201cReference List\u201d at the end of the paper.<\/p>\n
  In-text Citation<\/h3>\n
  \n

  Numerals must be placed after punctuation<\/li>\n
  Authors must be referred in text by their last name only<\/li>\n
  A maximum of three authors must be named when citing multiple authors\u2019 work. In case of four or more authors, the first author\u2019s name and the expression \u201cet al.\u201d must be used<\/li>\n
  Remember to place citation numbers where they will not be confused for a different meaning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
  For example:<\/p>\n
  A recent measurement^{2<\/sup>\u00a0of\u00a0rv<\/p>\n}
  not<\/p>\n
  A recent measurement of rv\u00a0^{2<\/sup><\/p><\/blockquote>\n}

  Authors\u2019 names must be notated as they appear in their original work<\/li>\n
  Do not use “et al”<\/em> in the Reference list. All authors must be listed with due credit in the Reference list.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
