Paper Title in Bold and Centered: All Major Words Capitalized [space here] [space here] Abstract The Abstract will begin here, and should be double-­‐spaced, with no indentation of the first line. Abstracts should be no longer than 250 words and should communicate both the subject and import of the research. [space here] [space here] Keywords: list key words sequentially, separated by semicolons [space here] [space here] Introduction Every paragraph of the manuscript should be indented (with a Tab of 0.5”), even after headings. First-­‐level headings are typed in bold and left-­‐justified, with all main words capitalized. Begin with double-­‐spaced text on the following line. Headings should be in bold. All text, including footnotes, is 12-­‐point, Times New Roman font. There is no need to triple-­‐space after paragraphs—simply indent the first line of the next paragraph, or proceed to the next heading. Formatting Subheadings Second-­‐level headings should be italicized, with all main words capitalized. The text starts on the next line. For third-­‐level headings, which are italicized, only the first letter should be capitalized, and the text should run on from the heading. General Style Guidelines We provide an abbreviated list of general guidelines here. If you have more specific questions, please contact the Managing Editor at journal@inesweb.org. 1. When punctuating quotations, please use a comma after the introductory element, then full quotation marks, ending punctuation inside the quotation marks, and then the footnote, e.g., According to Smith,“Engineers were committed to problem-­‐
solving above all else.”1 2. Spell out proper nouns on first use, followed by the acronym. For example, spell out the organization Volunteers for International Technical Assistance (VITA), with the acronym in parentheses following the name. 3. Avoid excessive use of italics and parentheses in the text. Do not use any underlining or bold font in the body of the text. 4. Give dates as day month year: 16 April 1975. 5. Write out numbers up to one hundred, unless they are a unit of measure or a constant (e.g., 9.8 m/s2). 6. Engineering Studies accepts both American and British forms of spelling, but we request that individual manuscripts be internally consistent. 7. Italicize words that appear in languages other than English. Authors may also choose to italicize key theoretical concepts or terms, but are encouraged to refrain from doing so excessively. 8. Avoid excessive use of capitals. Proper nouns should be capitalized. Formatting Tables Tables should be numbered and titled in bold above the table, and should list the source after the table.

A list of figures should be included at the end of the manuscript. [space here] [space here] Fig. 1.1 This caption would describe the illustration above. Acknowledgments Acknowledgments may appear after the main body of the text and before the References page. Authors should limit their acknowledgments to no more than 150 words. Acknowledgements should only be added to the manuscript once it has been accepted, in order to keep the manuscript confidential for blind review. References Footnotes Reference information should be given in a shortened form in footnotes, with a full version given in a list of references at the end of the manuscript. Do not use ibid. or op.cit. Footnotes should be given in abbreviated form as Name, Short Title (up to a colon only), year, pages (if pointing to specific pages only). In other words, do not include page numbers if citing an entire article or book chapter. Use semicolons to separate multiple references within one footnote. For non-­‐English titles the original language title should go first, followed by the English translation in brackets – in both footnotes and the reference list.
