Quick guide for compiling the two-column paper
====================================================
Dear Contributor

We recommend you to prepare Manuscripts  in LaTeX. 
Please use Springer's LaTeX macro package and choose the formatting option "twocolumn".
At the JSNM site, one can find  an archive file that conains a style file and a simple example for its using (JSNM-Latex.zip).

For those contributors who prefer to use Word, the best we can suggest is  to count the symbols number.
In order to help you to estimate 
correct size of your manuscript,  we give below typical figures for 
the paper pages. 

Please, also see two examples of the 5-pages paper and 2-pages paper.
