1 General Instructions
Follow these instructions exactly. Abstracts written according to these instructions are
submitted to fces15@jyu.fi as doc-files by 15 March 2015 for eventual review and editorial work.
Submitted abstracts must be in English. Authors are advised to follow exactly the given
guidelines to ensure the quality of layout of their abstract/s.
The quality of the language must meet the standards of the international scientific community.
The length of the abstract should not exceed 4 printed pages, including all tables, figures, and
references. No page numbering should be used. The paper format is A4 and 71 pt (2.5 cm)
margins must be used on all sides of each page.
2 Format of headings and paragraphs
Text must be typed in single line spacing with justified 12 pt Times New Roman font. Same
font should be used in all headings and captions Title, authors’ name/s, and affiliation are
centred. First and second order headings are aligned left. Main title, all headings, and author’s
name/s are bolded. Use 14 pt font in the main title and 12 pt font in author’s name/s,
affiliation, headings, and paragraphs. Do not use third order headings. Use space above and
below paragraphs and headings as shown in Table 1. Paragraphs are started without indent.
Both sides of text in paragraphs are justified.
2.1 Authors’ name and affiliation
All authors’ names are to be typed in bold 12 pt font and the corresponding author is marked
with asterisk (*). Affiliations for each author should be identified with superscript Arabic
number after initials. Full postal addresses must be given for each author and E-mail address
for corresponding author. If two authors have same affiliation, it is written only once (see
example above).
2.2 Order of sections
Follow this order of sections:
1
2
3
4
Introduction
Materials and Methods
Results and Discussion
References
2.3 Numbering of headings
Point is not used after number of first order heading. In second order headings point is used
between the numbers and space of 22 (0.76 cm) is used between number of heading and
heading. Do not enumerate the list of references.
Table 1.
Format of titles, figures, tables, and lists. Space to be left before and after items is
shown in points. Note that spaces are never greater than 12 points. Three points
equals 0.11 cm and 12 pt equals 0.42 cm.

3 Tables, Figures, and Equations
Tables and figures should be imported into text in a complete form, and they should be
comprehensible without reference to the text. It is preferred that figures are inserted on the top
of the page, except in the first page where they should be inserted on the bottom of the page.
When a figure is on the top of the page, it begins right after marginal and there is space of 12
pt (0.42 cm) after the caption. There is no space between the figure and its caption. If a figure
is placed on the bottom of the first page, there is 12 pt (0.42 cm) of space before it, and the
figure ends to marginal. If a figure is placed in the middle of the text (not recommended),
space of 12 pt (0.42 cm) before figure and after its caption should be used. Same guidelines
are used with tables with one exception: caption of table is typed above the table and caption
of figure is typed below the figure. Figures and tables are centred and no space is used
between figure/table and its caption. Both captions must be enumerated in the order they
appear in the text (Figure 1.). In caption hanging indent of 1.9 cm is used and caption is
justified (Figure 1.). Note that figures are printed in black and white. Do not use vertical lines
in tables or space bars to separate columns. Do not use fill in-colours or background colours
in figures. If possible, avoid horizontal lines in figures. Ensure that all text in figures uses the
same font (preferably Times New Roman), with strict minimum size of 10 pt. Examples of
table and figure are provided (Table 1, Figure 1).
Inline equations like a2+b3=c4 are written in italic. All other equations are inserted into text as
an object and enumerated in the order they appear in the text. Equations are centered and the
number of equation is placed on the right side in parenthesis.
4 Reference Style
References are cited in the text as follows: author name/s and year of the publication in
parentheses:



One author: (Miller 2003)
Two authors: (Miller & Thomas 1995)
Three or more authors (Miller et al. 1996)
If there is more than one listing of the same author and year, use a, b, c, etc. (Miller 1993a).
The reference list should be alphabetical. If there are several works by one author, the
following order should be used:
Concentration (µg/l)
100
treatment A
80
treatment B
60
40

Incubation time (days)
Figure 1. Example of a figure. Use 12 pt font in figure and table captions. Justify both sides
of caption and use 1.9 cm hanging indent. Type words “figure” and “table” and
their number with bold lower case letters. Note that because different shades of
grey may not be distinguished well in the printed version you should use different
filling patterns.



All publications by the same author alone, ordered chronologically by year of
publication.
All publications by the author with a co-author, ordered alphabetically by co-author.
All publications by the same author with several co-authors, ordered chronologically by
year of publication.
All references listed must be cited, and all cited references must be included in the reference
list. Example of the reference list is given below.
