Gardens. It is a central departure point for the intriguing "Lost City", the Kruger National Park, Pilanesberg Game Reserve which is
located in an extinct volcano, and many other interesting game parks. Pretoria is only 40 minutes from OR Tambo International
Airport, and is linked to the rest of the country by air, road and rail.
The University of Pretoria Conference Centre is on the University Campus, and is centrally situated close to hotels, guest

2. PAPER STRUCTURE
2.1
Subdivision - numbered sections (heading 2: size 11)
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2,
etc. (the abstract is not included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-referencing: do not just refer
to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
2.2 Introduction
State the objectives of the work and provide an adequate background, avoiding a detailed literature survey or a summary of
the results.
2.3 Material and methods
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already published should be indicated by a reference:
only relevant modifications should be described.
2.4 Theory/calculation
A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the
foundation for further work. In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a theoretical basis.
2.5 Results
Results should be clear and concise.
2.6 Discussion
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat them. A combined Results and Discussion section is
often appropriate. Avoid extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
2.7 Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study may be presented in a short Conclusions section, which may stand alone or form a
subsection of a Discussion or Results and Discussion section.
2.8 References
2.8.1 Citation in text (heading 2: size 10)
Use the Harvard method for references. The Harvard method quotes an author in the text by means of a surname and the year of
the publication, for example
“. . .was found. (Smith, 1975)". The references are then given in alphabetical order (according to
the surname of the primary author) in the reference list.
Any references cited in the abstract must be given in full. Unpublished results and personal communications are not
recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. If these references are included in the reference list they
should follow the standard reference style mentioned above and should include a substitution of the publication date with either
'Unpublished results' or 'Personal communication' Citation of a reference as 'in press' implies that the item has been accepted for
publication.
2.8.2 Web references
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference was last accessed. Any further information, if
known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web references can be listed
separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.

2.9 Tables
Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body
and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data
presented in tables do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.

2.10 Figures
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. Supply captions separately, not attached to the figure. A caption should comprise a
brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in the illustrations themselves to a minimum but
explain all symbols and abbreviations used.
