3.1. Tables
Tables should be presented in the form shown in Table 1
of this instruction. The title of the table should be
numbered and written above the table (10 point, italic).
Before table title use 10 point space and after table title
use 5 point space. If a table is too wide to fit into one
column (82.5 mm), You can put it in one pagewidth
column (170 mm). If a table is too long to fit into one
page, the table number and headings should be repeated
on the next page before the table is continued.
Alternatively, the table can be spread over two
consecutive pages turned 90° without repeating the
headings.
3.2. Figures
The title of the figure should be numbered and written
below the figure (10 point, centered, italic). Before and
after figure title use 10 point space. All figures should be
clearly displayed by leaving single line of spacing above

less than 2 mm high. The use of heavy black, bold
lettering should be avoided as they will look unpleasantly
dark when printed. Pictures should be inserted in the
paper as JPEG or TIFF format (resolution at least 300
dpi).

If they are numbered make sure that they are numbered
