\section{Introduction}
\label{intro}

The annual Technical Report of the International GNSS Service~\citep[IGS,
see][]{Johnston17} has been published successfully every year since its publication 
was resumed in 2011. The published IGS Technical Reports are 
available online at the IGS website. We appreciate your interest and 
valuable contributions to the report again. The next report, IGS Technical 
Report 2024, is scheduled to be published at the beginning of 2025.  

In agreement with the previous IGS Technical Reports, the issue for
2024 \emph{must} contain contributions from the main components of the IGS, namely global analysis 
centers (ultra rapid, rapid and final products), the global data centers, 
the working groups, and the pilot projects. Contributions from associated analysis 
centers, regional data centers, and other IGS related organizations are also welcome. 
Table~\ref{tab1} shows an overview of expected submissions.

The format of manuscript is the same as that for the IGS Technical Report 2023. 
Please pay close attention to the following general points:
\begin{enumerate}
\item The deadline for submissions is {\bf January 31, 2025}. This is a
  hard deadline.
  Late contributions will not be considered for the publication.
\item Missing contributions from key components of the IGS (see ``required
  $=$ yes'' in Tab.~\ref{tab1}) will be indicated in the report.
\item A submission is expected to have 4 to 6 pages length.
\item The possible document formats are \LaTeX\ , MS Word,
  OpenOffice (LibreOffice) Writer, or plain ASCII text.
\item All figures must {\bf be provided as separate file} either {\bf in PostScript
  format ({\tt eps}, {\tt ps})} or {\bf in Portable Document Format ({\tt pdf}) }. It is important that these are vector but {\bf not bitmap} graphics.
\item Submissions should be mailed to {\bf \url{igs_tr@aiub.unibe.ch}}
\end{enumerate}

The final publication will be prepared in \LaTeX.


% Submissions in Latex
% ----------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Document in \LaTeX}
\label{latex}

The source file of this article ({\tt guideline.tex}) should be used as
example and template for a \LaTeX\ submission. All standard
\LaTeX\ commands and packages may be used. Please do not change
\begin{itemize}
\item the document class\\
  \verb|\documentclass[11pt,onecolumn,oneside,notitlepage,a4paper]{article}|
\item the citation and bibliography style\\
  \verb|\usepackage[round]{natbib}|\\
  \verb|\bibliographystyle{plainnat}|
\item the page size\\
  \verb|\setlength{\textheight}{582pt}|, etc.
\item appearance of header, footer, headlines, captions, etc.
\end{itemize}
Following these rules will help us to reformat all submissions to a
consistent layout for the final publication.

% Additional packages , commands
\subsection{Additional Packages and Commands}
You may include additional \emph{standard} \LaTeX\ packages like {\tt
  amsmath} or {\tt graphicx} (see preamble of {\tt guideline.tex}).
Definitions of new commands must be included in the submitted {\tt tex}
file. Please avoid non-standard features as far as possible.

% Bibliographic references
\subsection{Bibliographic References} \label{ref}

Citations to bibliographic references should be in the author--year
style. Please use the {\tt natbib} package together with the {\tt plainnat}
bibliography style. The layout of the referenced items should look like in 
the example at the end of this document.


The command \verb|\citet{...}| creates in-text references like
\citet{Dach09}. Parenthetical citations are obtained with the \verb|\citep|
command, e.\,g. \citep{Dach09}.

Please include either the full {\tt bbl} file in your submission or---even
better---include the list of references at the end of your article, as
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{thebibliography}{2}
  \bibitem[Dach et~al.(2009) ...]{Dach09}
  ...
\end{thebibliography}
\end{verbatim}


% Figures and tables
\subsection{Figures and Tables}
All figures must {\bf be provided in separate files} either {\bf in PostScript format
({\tt eps}, {\tt ps}) or in Portable Document Format ({\tt pdf})} -- no bitmap please. The
figures will appear in full color in the electronic version of the
Technical Reports. Keep in mind, however, that the Technical Report may
also be printed in gray scale. Please make sure that your figures are still
readable when printed in gray scale.

Captions should be placed below figures but above tables (see
Fig.~\ref{fig1} and Tab.~\ref{tab1}).

\begin{figure}

\includegraphics[angle=0,width=0.46\textwidth]{fig1}
\caption{An example.}\label{fig1}
\end{figure}


% Submissions in other formats
% ----------------------------------------------------------------------
\section{Documents in Other Formats \small{(MS Word, LibreOffice, plain text})}
\label{other}

You may write your contribution to the IGS Technical Reports in Microsoft
Word, OpenOffice (LibreOffice) Writer, or in plain ASCII text. Keep in mind,
however, that the final publication will be prepared in \LaTeX. As a
consequence, your article will be reformatted to fit to the final layout.

Please take the following points into account
\begin{itemize}
\item the printable area of the final document will be
 $20.5 \times 15\,\mbox{cm}$,
\item fontsize is 11\,pt,
\item text is set in one column,
\item do not use automatic referencing features of your word processor.
\end{itemize}
Following these rules will help us to reformat all submissions to a
consistent layout for the final publication.


% Bibliographic references
\subsection{Bibliographic References}

Citations to bibliographic references should be in the author--year
style. In-text references should look like
\citet{Dach09}, parenthetical references like \citep{Dach09}.

Please include the full list of references at the end of your
article. Provide all necessary bibliographic information in the order 
and layout as given in the examples at the end of these guidelines.

% Figures and tables
\subsection{Figures and Tables}
All figures must be provided in separate files either in PostScript format
({\tt eps}, {\tt ps}) or in Portable Document Format ({\tt pdf}), even if
they are already included in your document. The figures will appear in full
color in the electronic version of the Technical Reports. Keep in mind,
however, that the Technical Report may also be printed in gray
scale. Please make sure that your figures are still readable when printed
in gray scale.

Captions should be placed below figures but above tables (see
Fig.~\ref{fig1} and Tab.~\ref{tab1}).
