1.1
Page Layout
Manuscripts for IMC30 should be formatted in a manner identical to this
document. Ideally this document should be used as your manuscript template.
Page size is set to 16.83 cm wide and 26.03 cm high. The margins are set to: Top
19 mm, Bottom 19 mm, Inside 12.7 mm, and Outside 19 mm from the paper
edge, with a ‘gutter’ of 8.9 mm. The title should be typed in capitals and
centrally aligned and if possible it should be limited to ten words. The author’s
name(s) should be typed in upper and lower case and also be centred.
Affiliation(s) should be typed upper and lower case but should be left aligned.
The text should be typed in 11 pt Times New Roman font and single line spacing
should be used except where additional spaces will enhance readability such as
above and below drawings, photographs, equations etc.
The manuscript text should be justified. The starting line of a paragraph
should be indented by 10 mm and there should not be any blank line space
between paragraphs. Main headings should be in capitals and sub-headings
should be in upper and lower case. A blank line space should be left above main
and sub-headings and a blank line should be placed between all main headings
and the text. However, the text should follow sub-headings without any
additional line spaces. Main headings should be numbered and sub-headings
should carry the number of the main heading followed by a number indicating the
sub-heading number.

Figures, Photographs, Equations and Tables
All figures and photographs should be numbered consecutively and located
as close as possible to the relevant text. The caption of a figure is to be separated
from the following text by two line spaces. Coloured diagrams and photographs
are accepted and will appear in colour in the conference CD. However, please
ensure colour choices for all figures provide appropriate contrast and readability
as the printed proceedings will be available in black and white only.
Equations should be numbered in parentheses and aligned to the right.
Tables should be located as close to the relevant text as possible and should be
numbered consecutively.
The insertion of page breaks helps to retain the document format.
