INTRODUCTION
This is the first paragraph – text set with no indent but justified. This is our preferred style for
all first paragraphs after headings.
STRUCTURE AND CONTENT
Papers should be well structured: i.e. they must comprise:
(1) Abstract: no more than 300 words briefly specifying the aims of the work, the main
results obtained, and the conclusions drawn.
(2) Keywords: 3–6 keywords (in alphabetical order).
(3) Main text: for clarity this should be subdivided into:
(i) Introduction - describing the background of the work and its aims.
(ii) Methods - a brief description of the methods/techniques used.
(iii) Results and Discussion - a clear presentation of the results obtained.
(4) Conclusions: a brief explanation of the significance and implications of the work.
(5) Acknowledgement: a brief acknowledgement of funding bodies or individuals who
contributed but are not among the authors.
(6) References: these should be to accessible sources. Please ensure that all works cited
in the text are included in the reference list, and that the dates and authors given in
the text match those in the reference list. References must always be given in
sufficient detail for the reader to locate the work cited (see below for formats).
HEADINGS AND LAYOUT
Major headings like the one above are typed bold in 14pt upper case (capital letters), with two
lines spaces above and none below.

Page layout
All text should be word-processed using the A4 page size, respecting the following general
layout requirements:



Normal paragraph text should be justified (extend to the right-hand margin) and be
typed single line-spaced to fill the full depth of the text area.
New paragraphs are not indented, but are preceded by a line of space. Also please
avoid using footnotes or splitting tables over two (or more) pages.
For bullet lists and numbered lists, refer to the examples shown in this paper template.
The first page
Special formatting requirements apply for the first page:




The title of the paper should appear centred in 16pt typeface as shown on the first page
of this file. If you have a long title, please consider a Title: Subtitle format. Allow
one line space below the title.
The author’s name(s) should appear centred in normal typeface, separated by commas
and with one line space above and below. Indicate the corresponding author (*).
The author’s affiliation(s) and full postal address(es) should be set out using centred
12pt italics typeface following the example on p1 of these notes.
Show the corresponding author’s E-mail address in 10pt italics below the affiliation(s).
LANGUAGE
Papers should be in good, grammatically correct English.
OTHER FORMATS
Mathematics, nomenclature and of units
Please take care that all terminology and notation used will be widely understood.
Abbreviations and acronyms should be spelled out in full at their first occurrence in the text.
SI units are mandatory. If non-SI units are absolutely necessary, SI equivalents (or
conversion factors) must also be given. Units should have a single space between the number
and the unit. Thousands should be separated by commas (e.g. 1,000). The decimal separator is
a full stop (e.g. g=9.81 m/s2).
Figures and Tables
Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively as they are presented (Figure 1, Figure
2, etc. and Table 1, Table 2, etc.). A descriptive caption, including the figure or table number
in boldface followed by a full stop, should be placed directly above tables and below figures.
Allow two line spaces above/below tables/figures and make sure they fit inside the text area.

Figure 1. This is an example of a Figure layout.
Please consider how your figures will look when printed in black and white. Illustrations
should be clear and text in illustrations should not be written with less than 10pt font size.
Scanned images may appear muddy or unreadable on a computer screen. Figures should be a
good enough resolution to allow printing.

CONCLUSIONS
We thank you for your efforts reading through these paper guidelines and look forward to
receiving your manuscript.
REFERENCES
It is essential that papers include a list of references at the end.
Citations in the text




Use surname of author and year of publication: Jones (1982) or (Jones, 1982).
Insert initials only if there are two different authors with the same surname and same
year of publication.
Two or more years in parentheses following an author's name are cited in ascending
order of year, and two or more references published in the same year by the same
author are differentiated by letters a, b, etc. For example: Brown (1969, 1973a, b).
Different references cited together should be in date order and separated by
semicolons, for example: (Smith, 1959; Thomson, 1982; Arthur, 2007).
The abbreviation "et al." (in italics) should be used in the text when there are more
than two co-authors of a cited paper.
