MANUSCRIPT INSTRUCTIONS

This year the PVSC is fully virtual.  Your manuscript, copyright and presentation will all be uploaded via your Presentation Portal. The manuscript submission deadline is June 15, 2021 . While the PVSC is still following our No Paper-No Podium/No Podium-No Paper Rule, we understand the global pandemic has disrupted research.  Thus, you are free to submit either a full conference proceeding (up to 8 pages) or a brief summary (1-2 pages) of you work.  However, we still ask that you use either the Word or LaTeX templates given below. 

Instructions

Step 1: 
Prepare your manuscript. Your final submission must use either the PVSC 2021 MS Word template or the equivalent LATeX template (ZIP). For other unsupported word processing systems please follow the official manuscript guidelines (PDF). 

Please remove all page numbers from your manuscript.  There is an eight (8) page size limit on all submittals. Please follow the IEEE two-column format specified in the template or your submission will be rejected.  Note: a new manuscript template is being used for PVSC 48 in 2021 and prior year templates are obsolete.
