2. Manuscript
2.1. General layout
Manuscripts should fill no more than 2 pages, on one
side only. They should look as follows (Fig. 1):



A4 (21.01 cm x 29.70 cm; 8.27 in x 11.69 in)
letter size.
Single spaced justified text in 2 columns of 8.5 cm
with 0.7 cm separation. First line with a 2-space
indentation. Do not separate paragraphs with a
blank line. Title and author-paper documentation
in 1 column (see section 2.3.).
The text should be located within the margins
specified in Table 1 and Fig. 1. Do not use
footnotes.
2.3. Title and author-paper documentation
At the beginning of the first page: the title, author
name(s), sponsoring/affiliation organization and full
address should be written in 1 column, i.e., they should fill
the full breadth of the page.





The title should use 10pt bold uppercase letters
and be centred on the page.
Author name(s) should use normal text and also
be centred on the page. Write the surname and
then the first and other name initials. Separate
author names by a comma followed by one space.
Sponsoring/affiliation organization and its full
address should be written in normal text and
aligned left. Give the e-mail of the corresponding
author only.
Use superscripts to relate author to sponsoring
organization and so on.
Leave 1 blank line both between title and author
name(s) and the latter and sponsoring/affiliation
organization-full address.
2.4. Section headings
3.2 cm
Fig. 1. Layout of papers.
Section headings should be numbered and aligned left in
the column. Use 10pt bold, uppercase and lowercase
letters.
Widow and Orphan control: all headings should appear
next to the following text, there should never be a column
break between a heading and the following paragraph.
Leave 2 blank lines between the section heading and the
previous paragraph, and 1 blank line between the section
heading and the following paragraph.
2.5. Subsection headings
2.9. Acknowledgments
Subsection headings should be numbered and aligned
left in the column. Use normal text, uppercase and
lowercase letters. Leave a blank line between the
subsection heading and both the previous and the following
paragraph.
Acknowledgments, if any, should not be numbered. Do
not use indentation. Use 8pt font, italic bold letters for the
title and 8pt italic font for the text.
Example:
Acknowledgements: Part of the work reported in this paper was
financially supported by the Commission of the European Union.
2.6. Figures and Tables
Place figures and tables as close to the place of their
mention as possible and centred in the column. They
should be black and white, of excellent quality, and should
span just one column, whenever possible.
Do not use an external border in figures. Figures must be
given sequential numbers. In the text, refer to a figure as
“Fig. #” (uppercase and lowercase letters, normal text, with
one space before the corresponding number). A 9pt font
should be used for a caption, with the prefix “Fig.” in 9pt
bold letters, as in Fig. 1. Captions must be aligned left and
placed below the figure. Leave a blank line between the
figure and the caption. Every figure should be followed by
a blank line.
Tables should be in single spacing, using 9pt font. Use a
1.5 pt weighted line to draw the upper and lower border of
tables (see Table 1). Avoid using vertical lines within
tables. Tables must be given sequential numbers. In the
text, refer to a table as “Table #” (uppercase and lowercase
letters, normal text, with a space before the corresponding
number). The caption should be in a 9pt font, with the
prefix “Table” in 9pt bold font, as in Table 1. Caption must
be aligned left and placed above the table. Do not leave
blank lines between the caption and the table. Every table
should be followed by a blank line.
2.7. Equations
Equations should be centred in the column and
numbered. Use a font similar to that of the text. Place the
number in brackets on a level close to the right margin of
the column, as in (1).
Example:
f ( x)  
f
dx
x
(1)
Refer to “(1)”, not “Eq. 1” or “equation 1”, except at the
beginning of the sentence: “Equation (1) is…”
2.8. Units
Metric units must be used throughout the manuscript. SI
units are strongly recommended.
2.10. Bibliographical references
All bibliographical references should be listed at the end
of the paper in a section called “References” (this heading
should not be numbered). When writing an author’s name,
first write the surname followed by a comma and then the
initial(s). Separate author names by a comma. Always use
8pt font, except for book titles or journal names, including
volume number, which should be written using 8pt italic
font. The first line of each reference should be aligned left
and the following with a 2-space indentation.
When referring to a reference in the text, follow the
example: Miller (2005), Miller and Anderson (2005) or
Miller et al. (2005) for more than 2 authors. For multiple
references: Miller, 1986; Anderson et al., 1999.
