Splncs04.bst

[Jamey Saldana]

Im writing a paper using the template of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The template comes with splncs04.bst file for bibliography style.My bibliography is a .bib file generated with Mendeley.

Now, when I compile the tex file, using \bibliographystylesplncs04 (as requested by the template), citations are reported not in order: first citation is n. 12, then 8, then 5 and so on. If I compile using a different style, like \bibliographystyleieeetr, the order is correct: it starts from 1.

I was facing the same issue. After searching a lot, I found the problem. Basically, the latest splncs04.bst automatically sorts according to the alphabetical order of the last name of the author. This is the latest Springer Style.

But if you want to have the citation numbers to be ordered by appearance, you have to use a different style file. For this, I have used splncs03_unsrt.bst. You can download the file from the link here. This will sort the citations in the order of the appearance.

The submission is performed online at this site using the submission forms. Corresponding author needs to register with the journal (if it has not been done before) prior to submitting. When registering, please leave empty the Signature field of the profile.

If the corresponding author is already registered, she/he needs to log in and follow the link [New Submission]. The submission must be ZIP-archive containing the original source (including all style files and figures) and a PDF version of the compiled output.

The abstract should be a short summary of the paper that needs to be understood without reference to the paper itself. Abstract reflects the scientific content of the paper and contains information about problems, methods and results. Abstract should not contain acknowledgements, any undefined abbreviations, citations and references to figures, equations, etc. Abstract's optimal size is 150 to 250 words.

In figures, authors should restrict their use of color to situations where it is necessary on scientific, and not merely cosmetic grounds as well as avoid unnecessary complexity, coloring and excessive detail.

Reference citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets (not superscript), separated by a comma and a space. Multiple references forming a range of numbers should be written as that range using a dash between the numbers.

The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. The references should be listed in alphabetical order or in order of appearance.

We strongly encourage authors to include DOIs (Digital Object Identifiers) in references. The DOI is a unique code assigned by the publisher to each online paper or journal article. It provides a stable way of finding published papers and increasing their visibility. Most digital libraries (e.g. ACM DL, DBLP, IEEE Xplore) provide metadata with DOI. Authors may also use CrossRef service to find DOIs.

Authors may format references manually or they can use BibTeX with the bibtex file splncs04.bst, which is included in SuperFrI's LaTeX macro package and provides automatical formatting of reference list. When using BibTeX authors should prepare bibliographic file(s) manually or they can use bibtex records provided by the most digital libraries (e.g. ACM DL, DBLP, IEEE Xplore).

Authors should prepare manuscripts in LaTeX using SuperFrI's LaTeX macro package. Please do not change contents of class (superfri.cls) and bibliographic style (splncs04.bst) files when preparing your article. With any questions and suggestions regarding SuperFrI's LaTeX macro package please contact Technical Editor (Mikhail Zymbler, mz...@susu.ru).

The journal uses single-blind peer review model. Articles submitted in JSFI are sent out to peer reviewers, although submissions that are out of scope for the journal or are of an unacceptably low standard may be rejected without review. Potentially suitable manuscripts will generally be reviewed by at least three experts in the field with the aim of reaching a first decision as soon as possible. Reviewers are asked to declare their conflicting interests, if any.

This journal provides immediate and free of charge open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. The publication in articles appearing in the journal are also free of charge for the authors. JSFI is listed in DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals).

The authors must agree to publish their paper under a free license (Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial 3.0 License), which permits non-commercial use, reproduction and distribution of the work without further permission provided the original work is properly cited.

The conference takes place in the building ZT (aka VCC) of the University of Konstanz. It is located in the Northern parts of the university campus. The university can be reached easily by city bus (line 9a/b/c and line 11), see here for more detailed instructions. The city of Konstanz levies a tourist tax which in return allows for the free use of all busses (and selected other public transport options) during the stay.

For accommodation we suggest to book directly at a hotel of your choice. There are many hotels in the area of the conference, which can satisfy any price requirements. The city of Konstanz levies a tourist tax which in return allows for the free use of all busses (and selected other public transport options) during the stay.

Additionally, we offer a limited number of pre-reserved hotel rooms. Please use the registration form to sign up for them. Please be aware that these hotels are provided by the Konstanz Tourist Office. Some of the hotels are outside of the city of Konstanz and the connection with public transport from these hotels to the university is quite limited.

The conference venue is located 1 close to the centre of Mlaga and the touristic harbor, which offer a very large selection of restaurants, tapas bars and local street food. You will for sure find something to satisfy your appetite! Zoom in the map and choose your favourite place . Beware that not all restaurants are open for lunch, but the offer is still very large.

The social dinner will take place at "La Reserva del Olivo" 2 --> Conference Information Program Travel grants Registration Keynote Speakers Best Paper Award Wednesday October 9, 2024 8:30 - 16:00 Registration 8:30 - 9:30 Welcome coffee 9:40 - 10:00 Welcome 10:00 - 10:40 Session 1: Oral presentations Collective Bayesian Decision-Making in a Swarm of Miniaturized Robots for Surface Inspection
