INTRODUCTION
The introduction of your paper should state in approximately 400-700 words the nature of the research
and why you are studying it. It should provide background information about the work and its
significance, while highlighting other relevant literature and specifying how it relates to or differs from
your work. You should also discuss the scope and limitations of your study in the introduction.
PAPER FORMAT/BODY
The manuscript text shall be typeset in full-justified 11 point Times New Roman. Same type font shall
be used throughout the text (except title and authors name and affiliation, and label for the Figures and
Tables). The body of the manuscript should be type set in single-column, single-space format on one side
of the sheet. The title should be centered across the full page with the first letter of each major word in
capital letters. It should be typed in bold face using 14-point Times Roman Font. Use 12 point Times
Roman font for author names, and italic 10-point Times Roman font for author(s) affiliation and address
information. Section headings should be bold faced, capitalized, and left justified.
The main section heading should be typed in bold and capitalized on a separate line and should not be
underlined. A single space between section main headings and texts is required. The page limit for each
paper is eight A4 (210 x 297mm) pages with 2.0 cm top, bottom and right margins and 2.54 cm left
margin. Please make sure you adhere to this limit. We will be unable to include in the proceeding papers
in excess of this page limit. No page numbers should appear on the manuscript.
Major headings, such as INTRODUCTION, OBJECTIVES, MATERIALS AND METHODS,
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION, CONCLUSIONS, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and REFERENCES
should be in full capitals and left justified.
Sub Sections, Tables and Figures
Sub headings appear in lower case, left justified and boldface. Figures should be numbered
consecutively, and placed after it is mentioned in the text. To save space, text may be wrapped around
Figures and Tables. However, the Figure or Table should be flush against either the left or right margin
such that text only wraps around one side. The same applies to tables as shown in Table 1. Figure
captions should be centered below the illustrations as shown in Fig. 1. The figure labels shall be typeset
in 9 points Times New Roman.
Units of Measurements
The use of S.I. units (Systeme Internationale d’Unites) in papers is mandatory.
