instructions for manuscript preparation.
2. General remarks on manuscript preparation
Generally, double line spacing, 12 pts font, and Times New Roman are preferred
when you type the manuscript for review. This text formatting is provided in order to
facilitate referee process and is also required for proper calculation of your manuscript
length. Typing your manuscript follows the order: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract,
Keywords, Main text, Acknowledgements (optional), References (optional), Figure
captions, Figures and Tables. Please consult the Guide for Authors for the proper
organization of the main text. Ensure that each new paragraph is clearly indicated. Some
journals also require lines to be numbered throughout the manuscript. You will usually
want to divide your article into numbered sections and subsections. Present figures and
tables at the right places mentioned in the Guide for Authors.
Most formatting codes are removed or replaced while processing your article so
there is no need for you to use excessive layout styling. Please do not use options such
as automatic word breaking, double columns or automatic paragraph numbering

etc., as appropriate.
2.1 Illustrations
Many journals required that figures and tables to be presented on separate pages at
the end of the manuscript. The preferable file formats are: EPS (for vector graphics) and
TIF (for bitmaps). However, PDF and MS Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint figures)
files are also acceptable. Use file names that enable to identify their contents in terms of
figure number and format (e.g.
fig1.tif, fig2.eps, fig3.pdf). All artwork has to be
numbered according to its sequence in the text. All of them should have captions.
Colour figures in printed version require an extra fee for most journals. Generally, no
vertical rules (lines) should be used in tables. Illustrations should not duplicate
descriptions that appear elsewhere in the manuscript.
