1. General Appearance

Contributions to the 9th International Symposium for Geotechnical Safety and Risk (ISGSR), Oslo, Norway on 24th – 27th August 2025 Conference, are to be in American English. . The theme of ISGSR 2025 is “Geotechnical Risk Frontiers” Authors are encouraged to have their contribution checked for grammar. American spelling should be used. Abbreviations are allowed but should be spelt out in full when first used. Integers ten and below are to be spelt out. Italicize foreign language phrases (e.g. Latin, French). Authors are required to submit their manuscripts both in PDF and the typeset source (MS-Word or LaTex) formats, and should check their formatting before submission.

2. The Main Text and Important Considerations of the Paper

The text is to be typed in 10/12pt Times New Roman single spaced. A4/US letter size paper can be used. The trim size is 155mm (measure) x 246mm (depth). The entire paper must be typeset using one column and must be within 4 pages maximum. Final pagination and update of running titles/folios will be done by the publisher. Authors are encouraged to use this style template as provided. If you're not using this template, please ensure the page dimensions are followed accurately as in the PDF sample typeset provided, as your manuscript will be reduced electronically if it exceeds the page dimensions. (Author and Author 1986).

3. Major Headings

Major headings should be typeset in boldface in Title Case. Leave 6 points additional space after the major heading, and one line space before. (Author et al. 1987).

3.1.Sub-headings

Sub-headings should be typeset in boldface italic. Capitalize the first letter of the first word only. Leave no space after the sub-headings; leave one space before.

3.1.1.Sub-subheadings

Typeset sub-subheadings in boldface italic and capitalize the first letter of the first word only. Number the sub-sub headings systematically, as illustrated. Make sure that no heading, sub-heading, or sub-sub heading appears all by itself on the last line. Leave no line space after the sub-headings; leave one space before.

3.1.2.Numbering and Spacing of Headings

Sections, sub-sections and sub-sub-sections are numbered uniformly in Arabic numerals. Leave two spaces after the end of the numbering and beginning of heading text. Flush left all paragraphs that follow after section headings. Subsequent paragraphs should be indented.

3.1.3.List of Items

Lists may be laid out with each item marked by a bullet (dots only):

Item one

Item two

Leave 6pt space before and after bullets. Alternatively, items may also be numbered in lowercase Roman numerals: Author (1988)

item one

item two

(a) lists within lists can be numbered with lowercase alphabets

(b) second item

item three.

3.1.4. Equations

The equations are typeset in 10pt size, centered. Equation numbers must appear right aligned with open and closed parentheses (see Eq. (1)).

Displayed equations are to be centered on the page measure and have at least 8pt empty space above and below the equations. Displayed equations should be numbered consecutively in the paper, with the number set flush right and enclosed in parentheses, as below:

Equations should be referred to in the text in abbreviated form, e.g. “Eq.(1)” or “Eq.(2)” %do a reference example for Eq. (1) instead of text Author et al. (1990).

Conventional symbols should be adopted and used consistently. There is no constraint on use of units. Standard English letters like x are to appear as x (italicized) in the text if they are used as mathematical symbols. Punctuation marks are used at the end of equations as if they appeared directly in the text. (Author et al. 1992).

4. Figures and Photographs

Figures are to be inserted into the text nearest its first reference. The text in the figures should be large enough so that the text is reasonably readable. Authors are advised that all photographs will be finally reproduced in grayscale/black and white.

Leave one line space before and after the figure caption. Leave one line space between the text and start of the figure. Figures are to be placed closest to where cited, but definitely within the same section as called. Figures must be anchored to move with the text and be sequentially numbered in Arabic numerals. The 9ptfont figure caption must be placed below the figure. (Author et al. 1994) Figure should be placed top and bottom of the page. Please prepare the figures in high resolution (300 dpi) for half-tone illustrations or images. Half-tone pictures must be sharp enough for reproduction.

Fig. 1.This is the caption for the figure in font 9pt. The short-line caption must be centered, and the long caption can be left justified.

Figures must be anchored to move with the text and be sequentially numbered in Arabic numerals. The 9pt font figure caption must be placed below the figure. Short-line captions can be centered, while the long-captions must be justified. Whereas every effort should be made to place figures within a single column, larger sized figures may span across both columns by inserting suitable section breaks. Please ensure the figures and the labels with reasonable size and for clear visibility. No relabeling or enhancement of artwork will be done while production/printing. (Author 2021)

All authors must testify that their tables and figures are their own works, previously published figures must be accompanied by a written permission from the author and publisher.

5. Tables

Tables should be inserted in the text as close to the point of reference as possible, and definitely within the same section. One line space should be left above and below the table; also keep one line space after the text and start of the Table caption.

Tables should be numbered sequentially in the text in Arabic numerals. (see Table 1).

Table 1. This is the caption for this Table in font 9pt. Short line caption must be centered.

Year	Height of Dam	Width at Base
(m)	(m)
1200	10	50
1350	15	70
1625	17	90
1865	25	119
1950	30	135
2006	39	155
Sample typeset by Research Publishing for ISGSR 2025 conference proceedings.

The table captions must be in 9pt Times New Roman. If tables need to extend over to a second page or column, the continuation of the table should be preceded by a caption, e.g. “Table1 (Continued)”. The text inside tables should be in 9pt. Whereas every effort should be made to place tables within a single column, larger sized tables may span across both columns by inserting suitable section breaks. In all events, tables must be anchored to move with the text.
