General
Manuscripts should be typed, single-spaced. A font size of 12 point, Times New
Roman type, paper size A4. Use the same margins as per this template. The maximum
number of pages is 10. In sentences where mathematical formula renders single
spacing unsuitable, one and half spacing may be used for those only.

Headings
Major headings are in bold capital letters and aligned on the left of the typed area not
underlined. Two blank lines should be left before each major heading and one blank
line after. Minor headings are in the lower case characters, bold script and typed at
the left-hand margin of the typed area with one blank line before it and no blank lines
after. Leave one blank line between paragraphs. Footnotes may appear in the paper
with a solid black line before it.

The First Page
On the first page, the title should be typed in capital letters starting on the 6th line.
This should be followed by authors(s) names, address, an abstract, a listing of up to

ILLUSTRATIONS

Please consider that, except in scanned images, the fonts used in figures, diagrams or
equations shall be widely available. In addition to the Times-family, Arial and/or
Helvetica fonts may be used in figures, as these fonts are usually available on any
computer and printer. Other fonts should not be used. Each figure must have a brief
descriptive caption. Number all diagrams, figures and photos sequentially, Figure 1,
Figure 2, etc. Do not use too small characters in figures and tables. Captions should be
centered below figures and above tables.

Position
Put illustrations on the same page as the reference to them in the text, or as soon after
as possible, not at the end of the paper as shown in Figure 1. Center them vertically in
the middle of typed area. Small illustrations can be side by side.
