Abstract
This manual is part of the template package for authors pre-paring their work for submission
to MWP in MS-Word format (Office 2007). It provides general information on manuscript
properties in the MWP journal family and a brief introduction to the technical usage of the
package’s template file. There is a section on style and layout conventions, and the manual
itself is formatted according to the MWP layout as an example.
For information on the journals’ scope, the editorial policy regarding scientific content and
peer review, and the submission and production process please see the “For authors” section
on the MacroWorld journal homepages.
Keywords: manuscripts, templates, manuals, journal
1. Main text
21
The target word count is 8000 words 20pages in length (all text, including notes, figures,
22
references, tables, charts, etc.). Main-body text is to written in fully (double-spaced) justified
23
12 pt. Times New Roman font with a 6pt. (paragraph) line spacing following the last line of
24
each paragraph, but a 12pt. (paragraph) line spacing following the last paragraph. Use tab
25
stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar. Do not indent paragraphs. Use the
26
automatic page numbering function to number the pages. Use the equation editor or
27
MathType for equations and math formulas.
28
Here introduce the paper, and put a nomenclature if necessary, in a box with the same font
29
size as the rest of the paper. The paragraphs continue from here and are only separated by
2
30
headings, subheadings, images and formulae. Numbers bold and 12 pt. arrange the section
31
headings. Here follows further instructions for authors.
32
33
1.1.
Structure
34
Files must be in MS Word only and should be formatted for direct printing, using the CRC
35
MS Word provided. Figures and tables should be embedded and not supplied separately.
36
Please make sure that you use as much as possible normal fonts in your documents. Special
37
fonts, such as fonts used in the Far East (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.) may cause
38
problems during processing. To avoid unnecessary errors you are strongly advised to use the
39
‘spellchecker’ function of MS Word. Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title,
40
Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text (including figures and tables),
41
Acknowledgements, References, and Appendix. Collate acknowledgements in a separate
42
section at the end of the article and do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the
43
title or otherwise.
44
45
1.2. Section and sub-section headings
46
Section headings are numbered 1. Xxx, 2.Yyy, etc. in 12 pt. bold “Small Caps” Times New
47
Roman font with a 6 pt. line spacing following. Subsection headings are numbered 1.1. Aaa,
48
1.2.Bbb, etc. in 12 pt. bold Times New Roman font with a 6 pt line spacing following. Please
49
do not use automatically number in headings and sub-headings.
50
51
1.3. Further Subsections
52
Further sub-sectioning, if required, is indicated using 1.1.1. Qqq, etc. headings with 12 pt.
53
bold Times New Roman font with a 6 pt line spacing following.

56
1.4. Figures and Tables
57
Tables capture information concisely and display it efficiently; they also provide information
58
at any desired level of detail and precision. Including data in tables rather than text frequently
59
makes it possible to reduce the length of the text. Prepare tables according to the specific
60
journal's requirements; to avoid errors it is best if tables can be directly imported into the
61
journal's publication software. Number tables consecutively in the order of their first citation
62
in the text and supply a title for each. Titles in tables should be short but self-explanatory,
63
containing information that allows readers to understand the table's content without having to
64
go back to the text. Be sure that each table is cited in the text. Ideally, submit your figures in
65
TIFF or EPS format. All inserts, figures, diagrams, photographs and tables must be centre-
66
aligned, clear and appropriate for black/white or grayscale reproduction. All tables and
67
figures should be numbered consecutively and cited in the text (as Table 1. Figure 1.
68
etc.). Do not allow tables or figures to exceed 35 picas (5 in) in width or 51 picas (8 in) in
69
length. Use Times New Roman Font on all graphics.
70
71
1.5. Table
72
All tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals. Tables should be submitted in the same
73
format as your article (Word). Tables must be embedded into the text and not supplied
74
separately. Each table should include a legend. The first sentence of the legend should be a
75
brief descriptive title. All tables and figures are numbered 1.1. Aaa, 1.2.Bbb, etc. in 10 pt.
76
bold Times New Roman font with a 6 pt line spacing following.
77

1.6. Figure
80
Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be
81
clean originals or digital files. Figure legends should be double-spaced in numerical order.
4
82
No single legend should be longer than about 200 words. Nomenclature, abbreviations,
83
symbols, and units used in a figure should match those used in the text. The figure title
84
should be given as the first line of the legend. Any individually labeled figure parts or panels
85
(A, B, etc.) should be specifically described by part name within the legend. Bar graphs,
86
simple line graphs, and gels may be reduced to a smaller width. Symbols and lettering should
87
be large enough to be legible after reduction.
88
89
Figure 1. Bumber of Claims & Claims Rate of Nail Gun Injuries (1990-1998)
90
91
Avoid wide variation in type size within a single figure. In the printed version of the figure,
92
letters should be about 7 points (2 mm) high, and not smaller than 5 points. High-resolution
93
images can be included as supporting online material. Resolution requirements apply:
94
EPS: Embed the font or save the text as 'graphics'. TIFF: The resolution should be in 300 DPI.
95
For line-art, vector format is preferable. Otherwise, the resolution should be 1200 DPI.
96
All tables, figures, appendices and endnotes should be placed after the references.
97
All figures, tables, etc. must have a caption, centre-justified in 11 pt. Times New Roman.
98
Captions precede tables but follow figures.
99
Tables and figures must appear as close to their point of reference as satisfactory formatting of the
100
101
102
103
final document permits.
5
104
1.7. Equations
105
Equations and formulae should be typed in Mathtype, and numbered consecutively with
106
Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right hand side of the page (if referred to explicitly in
107
the text). They should also be separated from the surrounding text by one space.

1.8. Acknowledgements
111
An (unnumbered) acknowledgements section may be inserted if required. Acknowledgments
112
of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list.

References
115
List the sources alphabetically at the end of the paper under a level-one heading called
116
“References,” as shown at the end of this document. Place entries in alphabetical order
117
according to the last name of the first author. References The APA style (6th edition) consists
118
of rules and conventions for formatting term papers, journal articles, books, etc., in the
119
behavioral and social sciences. This user guide explains how to cite references in APA style
120
(6th edition), both within the text of a paper and in a reference list, and gives examples of
121
commonly used types of references.
