Authoring Support: Help and Guidance for the Preparation of Papers
Templates and Guides
Please Note:
- Users of MS Word are requested to use the available
templates wherever possible;
- Users of alternative products are requested to follow
the formatting instructions contained in the "General Notes and Guidance for
Authors" closely in order that your paper can be published to the required STO
formatting standards.
If you require further
assistance in using STO Templates, or have any questions, comments or
suggestions or any other matter, please contact the
CSO Scientific Publications Manager .
Sample Papers
Below list two sample papers from previous STO reports:
Clearances Required for Submission of Papers (Form 13)
Below lists the various clearance forms necessary to provide the release
authority in order that the STO can publish the submitted material:
Submitting Forms 13
Classification and Copyright
CSO Form Presentation/Publication Release and Clearance Certificate (CSO Form
13), requests that you ensure that your paper is free from any copyright
restrictions that may prevent the STO from publishing your work. It is requested
that you pay particular attention to this clause.
Further, you are required
to give your paper a suitable security classification. In this regard, the STO
would prefer that the use of
NATO Unclassified be avoided wherever possible, particularly if you
wish your paper to reach a wide unrestricted audience. If this is the case then
please you mark your paper free for public release on the Form 13. Clearly, this
may not always be possible and of course we will process the material based upon
the classification you provide.
