your submission does not follow the template format, your manuscript may be sent back to you for
corrections.
The template linked above is optimized for the latest June 2022 LaTeX release and may return errors if
you use
an older version of LaTeX.
Use this template to help format your article for our production process. You can add packages to this
template,
but please do not remove any already included.
How to Submit
For your initial submission, upload the PDF as your manuscript file, containing your manuscript text,
figure legends, tables, and references.
If your submission is accepted, you will be asked to upload your LaTeX source file. If your manuscript
.tex is separated into several .tex files, combine these into a single, cohesive .tex file before
submission. Make sure to update your PDF file with the most recent version of your manuscript.
As stated in the ICMSB template, your reference information should be included in your .tex file (not
submitted separately as .bib or .bbl). See the References section below for more information.
The submission will be confirmed and assigned a Paper ID by the conference secretary from
ppgmsbdcet2@uneb.br within two working days after submission. To ensure receipt of all correspondence
from the conference, please add ppgmsbdcet2@uneb.br as acceptable emails to receive.
Formatting Tips
Use the ICMSB template.
Do not track changes in your final tex file. ICMSB recommends the use of latexdiff to track changes
in the manuscript PDF during review, as this will help to maintain a clean tex file. Download
latexdiff.
Your manuscript source file should not call on external files (do not use \input or
\externaldocument).
Include all portions of equations within the math environment in order to ensure it is correctly
rendered.
Use the formatting and symbols in the template for the author byline. Don't forget to inform your
advisor if you're a student.
Follow the instructions in the template regarding the placement of table and figure legends.
Follow the instructions in the template for proper formatting of supporting information legends and
citations.
Elements that exceed the width of the text column must be included in an “adjustwidth” environment
to
display properly. See the template for more information.
Supporting Information
Supporting Information requirements for LaTeX do not differ from the requirements for normal manuscripts.

References
As stated in the ICMSB template, your reference information should be included in your .tex file (not
submitted separately as .bib or .bbl). Here is a step-by-step way to include your reference list
directly within your .tex file:
Compose your LaTeX manuscript as normal, using \cite{bibkey} for reference citations.
Compile your manuscript using BibTeX, your .bib file (\bibliography{references}), and the
plos2015.bst style
file. This process should output a .bbl file into the same folder as your manuscript.
Overleaf users can find the .bbl file in the "Logs and output files" tab under the "Other logs and
files"
option.
Open the .bbl file and copy/paste its contents into the appropriate position within the manuscript
.tex. Comment
out or delete the \bibliography command.
Compile your manuscript again. The PDF output should be the same as before.
Please contact ppgmsbdcet2@uneb.br if you encounter any issues and be sure to include
your manuscript files.
