Author Names: Formatting for Authors and Institutions are done automatically (\author tag not needed) through the form.
If you have a single author, just fill out the blanks for the first author. If there are two or more authors, be sure that the last author boxes are filled, as the word "and" is inserted automatcally into the author fields. If there are more than five authors, then separate the next author in line within the 4th author's last name box and LaTeX code for superscript for institution affiliation. For example, the last name field on the fourth author box would look like
Martin, Smith$^{2}, J.P.
For a sixth author with the last author in line placed in the last author boxes.
Institutions: \Institution tag not needed. Enter the Institutions with leading superscript numbers as needed. For example two Institutions could look like
$^{1}USDA-ARS, College Station, TX, $^{2}USDA-ARS, Beltsville, MD.
Abstract: the \abstract tag is added automatically. All other information and LaTeX formatting for changes in font, etc. will need to be entered within the body of the text.
Keywords: The \keyword tags are formatted automatically for you, so enter the keywords (max 3) that you desire.
Thank You.
