words. It should be in fully-justified text, at the top of the left-hand
column below the author information. The title “Abstract” must be in 12-point
Times, boldface, centered relatively to the column, initially capitalized.
The abstract is to be in 10-point and single-spaced type. There should be two blank (10-point) lines
after the abstract, then begin the main text. Main TextAll manuscripts must be in English. Page and

lines.
Your Abstract and the remainder of the paper are to be in a two-column format (except for figures or tables that may span both columns if necessary). If the last page is not filled, please divide the data into two equal columns. Columns in the two-column format are to be 3-1/4 inches wide (approx. 8.5 cm), with a 5/16-inch (approx. 0.8 cm) space between columns, for a total print area width of 6-7/8 inches (approx. 17.5 cm). The length of the print area of any page must not exceed 8-7/8 inches (approx. 22.5 cm). Text must be fully justified. The second and the following pages should begin 1.0 inch (2.54 cm) from the top edge. On all pages, the bottom margin should be 1-1/8 inches (2.86 cm) from the bottom edge of the page for 8.5 x 11 inch paper; approximately 1-5/8 inches (4.13) from the bottom edge of the page for A4 paper.
Type Style
and Size of Text
Main text is to be single spaced in 10-point Times
or Times Roman (or similar font), in the two-column format. The first line of
each paragraph is to be indented approximately 1/6 inch (approx. 0.42 cm),
and the entire text is to be justified - that is, flush left and flush right.
Please do not place additional line spacing between paragraphs. Figure and
table captions should be Helvetica 10-point boldface; callouts should be
Helvetica 9-point non-boldface. Capitalize only the first word of each figure
caption and table title. Figures and tables must be numbered separately.
Table titles are to be centered above the tables.
Title and
Headings
The main title should be in Times (or Times Roman) 14-point boldface centered over both columns. In the main title, capitalize nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, coordinate conjunctions, and prepositions (unless the title begins with such a word). Leave two blank lines after the title. Initially capitalize the words in the first-, second-, and third-order headings.
Author
Name(s)/Affiliation(s)
Author names and affiliations are to be centered beneath the title in Times (or Times Roman) 12-point non-boldface. Multiple authors may be shown in a two- or three-column format, with their affiliations below their respective names. Affiliations are centered below each author name, italicized, not bold. Include e-mail address if possible. Leave two blank lines before your Abstract.
First-Order
Headings
First-order headings (for example, 1. Introduction) are to be Times 12-point boldface, initially capitalized, flush left, with one blank line before, and one blank line after.
Second-Order
Headings
Second-order headings (for example, 1.1. Database elements) are to be Times 11-point boldface, flush left, with one blank line before, and one after.
Third-Order Headings. If you require a third-order heading (e.g. 1.1.1 Records. ) then it is to be in Times 10-point boldface, preceded by one blank line, and followed by a period and your text on same line.
Footnotes
Use footnotes sparingly and place them at the bottom of the column in which they are referenced (not full width across two columns). Use Times 8-point type with 10-point interline spacing for footnotes. To help readers, avoid footnotes altogether and include necessary peripheral observations in your text (within parentheses, if you prefer, as in this sentence).
Page
Numbering
Your paper should show no printed page numbers;
these are allocated by the volume editor. Do not set running heads.
References
List and number all bibliographical references at the end of your paper in 9-point Times, single-spaced at the end of your paper. When referenced within the text, enclose the citation number in square brackets, for example [1]. [1] Smith, A. B., C.D. Jones, and E.F. Roberts, “Article Title”, Journal, Publisher, Volume, Date, pp. 1-10. [2] Jones, C.D., A.B. Smith and E.F. Roberts, Book Title, Publisher, Date. [3] Roberts, E.F and A.B.
