Please take care to use the proper format for references, as detailed in the templates, when preparing your papers. If using LaTeX, the easiest way to ensure correct format is to use BibTex, in which case the JACoW template will automatically take care of the formatting of references. Papers with references which are incorrectly-formatted or are missing needed information, such as DOIs, may be returned to the author with a red dot for correction. </p> <p class='vspace'>The <a class='link_url' href='https://refs.jacow.org' rel='nofollow' target='_blank'>JACoW Reference Search Tool</a> provides you with correct and complete citations for JACoW publications, formatted for pasting into either LaTeX or MS Word documents.

Authors, especially if preparing submissions using MS Word, are encouraged to use the Cat Scan tool to help catch and correct formatting errors in their prior to submission.
