This document describes the format of IISA 2025 Conference manuscripts. The official language of IISA 2025 is English; therefore, all manuscripts should be prepared in English. Each paper should begin with an abstract describing the main ideas of the paper. The text of abstract must contain 250 to 300 words (the abstract submission system will not allow entering more than 300 words and will not validate abstracts of less than 250 words).
PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THE HEADER THAT WILL CONTAIN THE LOGOS
This document contains all the information necessary to prepare a manuscript for the IISA 2025 Gurugram – India International Symposium on Acoustics Conference, to be held at KIIT College of Engineering, Gurugram (HR), India, October 30 - November 1, 2025. All papers should strictly follow the instructions given below.
All papers must be submitted through the conference email: iisa2025@kiitworld.in or at IISA EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences?conf=iisa20250 (for enrolled authors only) Please note that the online paper submission system only accepts word document (.doc) or (.pdf) files no larger than 2 MB. In case of any problems during your paper submission, do not hesitate to contact the Conference Secretariat at iisa2025@kiitworld.in
This document uses predefined styles to satisfy all the requirements of the IISA 2025 manuscript format. Please do not modify any of the important fonts, page layout, and style parameters embedded in this document while writing your paper. The most important parameters are described below:
Special parts of the title page include the Conference logo, manuscript title, author names and affiliations, and the abstract.
The title should be typeset using 17 points bold Arial or Helvetica font, with capital letters only. The “Title” style has been adjusted to use these values. This style also adjusts vertical spacing above and below the title. If the title is longer than one line, it should be manually broken to equalise line lengths.
Author names should be typeset using 14 points, Times Roman font, while affiliations should be typeset using 12-point italics Times font. “Author” and “Affiliation” styles have been defined to use these values. The styles also adjust vertical spacing above and below author and affiliation lines as well as left and right line indentations.
There is nothing special in case of one author of the manuscript.
If two or more authors belong to the same institution, they should be mentioned in one line preceding the affiliation. In this case, authors should be separated with commas (,) except for the last author’s name, which should be preceded with and
If two or more authors belong to different institutions, the affiliation should be written after each author with a differing institution affiliation. An example of the affiliation style for two or more authors is provided on the first page of this guide.
In both cases, there should be only one email address, preferably to the presenting author.
The abstract text should be typeset using 12 points roman Times font. The abstract text should be separated from the rest of the manuscript with a horizontal line. The “Abstract” style has been created to choose this font, to adjust vertical and horizontal spacing around the abstract, and to add the horizontal line.
The abstract should be self-contained; therefore, do not refer to the list of references. If references cannot be avoided, please put them in full (e.g., “as described in Gnus and Gnats of the World, R. Gneisser, Gnu Publishing, Ltd, 2024”).
The text must contain 250 to 300 words (the abstract submission system will not allow entering more than 300 words and will not validate abstracts of less than 250 words).
Sections, subsections, and subsubsections should be numbered with Roman numerals. Section, subsection, and subsubsection headings should be typed in a sans-serif font (Helvetica, Arial) and left-justified.
Section heading size should be 14 pt. Section headings should be typed using boldface font. The “Heading 1” style has been adjusted to follow these rules.
Subsection headings should be typed using boldface font with 12 pt size. The “Heading 2” style has been adjusted to follow these rules.
4.1.1 SubsubsectionSubsubsection headings should be typed using italic font, with 12 pt size. The “Heading 3” style has been adjusted to follow these rules.
Mathematical formulas, figures, and tables should be separated from the text by a small amount of space below and above them. This space may be used to justify the content vertically on the page.
Mathematical formulas can be placed in the middle of text lines (inline math) or separate paragraphs. Inline math should be used only for short equations. Please avoid build-up constructions (like fractions, matrices, etc.) in inline math.
Long and important mathematical formulas should be placed in separate paragraphs, centred, and with a right-justified number, like the following:
. (1)
The “Equation” style has been created to make it easier to produce formulas following these rules. The style contains two tabulators: a centring tabulator in the middle of the line, and a right-justifying tabulator at the right margin.
Generally, all displayed formulas should be numbered consecutively, beginning with 1. However, only one line of a multi-line formula should be numbered, except when separate references to different lines are necessary.
Microsoft Word does not provide convenient tools for automatic enumeration of equations and making references to them. Please check all equation numbers and references to these equations carefully before submitting the full paper. If your manuscript contains a lot of equations and many equation references, please consider writing it in LaTeX, using the class provided for IISA 2025 manuscripts.
All illustrations (line drawings, charts, plots, photos, etc.) should be adjusted to provide reasonable trade-offs between resolution and memory usage (the whole paper should be no larger than 2 MB). When scaling an illustration, make sure the font size and line thickness are still large enough to be legible.
All illustrations should be centred on the page. However, when there are two or more narrow illustrations, it may be reasonable to put them side-by-side.
All illustrations should be captioned below the illustration. Captions should be numbered consecutively, centred, and written using a Times family font with
point size 11. The “Caption” style has been adjusted to follow these rules.
Tables should be centred on the page. All tables should be captioned above the table. Table captions should be numbered consecutively, centred, and written using Times family font with point size 11.

When referring to equations, enclose the numbers in parentheses and precede them with “Eq.” or “Eqs.” Put an unbreakable space between “Eq.” and the number (press Ctrl-Shift-Space to insert the unbreakable space). For example, you can refer to Eq. (1). You should not begin a sentence with the abbreviation “Eq.” or “Eqs.” Instead, spell out the word.
When referring to figures, precede the number with “Fig.” Put an unbreakable space between “Fig.” and the number (press Ctrl-Shift-Space to insert the unbreakable space). For example, you can refer to Fig. 1. You should not begin a sentence with the abbreviation “Fig.” or “Figs.” Instead, spell out the word.
When referring to tables, precede the number with the word “Table.” Put an unbreakable space between “Table” and the number (press Ctrl-Shift-Space to insert the unbreakable space). For example, you can refer to Table 1.
When referring to sections, subsections, and subsubsections, precede the number with the word “Section.” Put an unbreakable space between “Section” and the number (press Ctrl-Shift-Space to insert the unbreakable space). For example, you can refer to Section 2. Moreover, you can also refer to Section 3.2.2.

Use superscript numbers to refer to particular positions in the literature. For example, to refer to the first position in the literature list presented at the end of this guide, you should write [1].
The heading of the references section should not be numbered—see the last section of this guide. The “RefHeading” style has been created to be used with the references heading.
References should be typed using 12- or 11-point size. The “References” style has been created to be used with the literature list.
All references to the literature should appear at the end of the paper. An example of the proper format for references is given at the end of this guide. Please check how to refer to a book, journal paper, or conference paper. The reference number should be typeset as superscript. The title of the journal, book, or conference proceedings should be in italics. The volume number of a journal paper should be typeset using a boldface font. The numbering of references should be in ascending order.
