  MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION

General: The text of each paper must be single-spaced, single column, with margins of 2.5 cm on each side, and a font size of 12 pt is required. Paper size is A4. The font should be Times or Times Roman. The corresponding author should be identified (including a fax number and e-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors. The article should not exceed six pages.

Abstract: The essential contents of each paper must be briefly recapitulated in an abstract. References should not appear in the Abstract.

Text: Each manuscript should be presented in the following order: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements, Appendix, References. The text should be organized under appropriate section headings (single numbers should be used for headings of main sections, two or three numbers, separated by a dot, should be used for to indicate subheadings e.g. 1.2 or 1.2.2). All headings should be placed on the left-hand side of the text, with a single line space above and below.

Main headings should be in bold. All measurements should be given in metric (SI) units.

The corresponding author should be identified with an asterisk and footnote. The technical description of the methods used should only be given in detail when such methods are new, although it can be presented in the appendix.

Appendix: Mathematical analyses and other material, the details of which are subordinate to the main theme of the paper, should normally be put into one or more appendices. Equations in appendices are labelled (A1), (A2), etc. Figures and Tables are labelled with an "A" as well (Fig. A1, Table A1).

References: All publications cited in the text should be presented in a list of references following the text of the manuscript. In the text refer to references with the author's name (without initials) and year of publication (e.g. Henderson, 1982). For three or more authors, use the first author followed by "et al.", in the text (e.g. Davis et al., 1996). The list of references should be arranged alphabetically by authors' names. The manuscript should be carefully checked to ensure that the spelling of authors' names and dates are exactly the same in the text as in the reference list.
