Figures, Tables and Illustrations

Ensure that tables/figures/illustrations are complete with necessary superscripts shown, both next to the relevant items and with the corresponding explanations or levels of significance shown as footnotes in the tables and figures.

All Figures (charts, diagrams and line drawings) should be submitted electronically.

Figures should be of clear quality, in black and white and numbered consecutively e.g. Fig. 1, Fig. 2

If any figure has sub-parts please label as Fig.1a, Fig.1b

Tables should be numbered consecutively e.g. Table 1, Table 2

Illustrations should also be submitted electronically. Do not use screen dumps since their resolution is too low.

Make sure illustrations are clearly labelled (label the illustration with the chapter and figure number).

Files of illustrations/figures are optional, but will be used if possible. For usable file formats, please note the following:

1. If the original figure/illustration is created in Photoshop (Halftones – 300/600 dpi, linetone - 600 dpi, Lineart -1000 dpi), send the files in tiff or jpg format.

2. If the original figure/illustration is created in Adobe Illustrator, send the files in ai, eps, wmf or svg format.

3. If the original figure/illustration is created in CorelDraw, send the files in cdr, wpg, wmf or cmx format.

4. If the original figure/illustration is created in Chemdraw, send the files in cdx or chm format.

5. If the original figure/illustration is created in MS Word or MS Excel or MS Powerpoint, send the files in doc or xls or ppt format respectively.

6. Electronic figures created in other applications should be copied from the origination software and pasted into a blank MS Word document or saved and imported into a MS Word document; choose “Insert” from the menu bar, “Picture” from the drop-down menu and select “From File ...” to choose the graphic to be imported. Alternatively, electronic figures created in other applications should be exported to PDF format or to any of the formats mentioned in points 1 to 5 above.

Graphics may be supplied in colour to facilitate their appearance in colour if hosted online but will be printed in black and white.

Note: In general we charge for colour printing. Please consult the Editor or the Publisher.

To prepare screenshots, simultaneously press the “Alt” and “Print screen” keys on the keyboard, open a blank Microsoft Word document and simultaneously press “Ctrl” and “V” to paste the image. (Capture all the contents/windows on the computer

screen to paste into MS Word, by simultaneously pressing “Ctrl” and “Print screen”.)

In the text of the paper the preferred position of all figures/illustrations should be indicated by typing on a separate line the words “Take in Figure (No.)” or “Take in Plate (No.)”. Tables should be typed and included as part of the manuscript. They should not be submitted as graphic elements.

Supply succinct and clear captions for all tables, figures and plates.

Mathematics Characters

For reasons of conversion it is preferred, albeit not mandatory, that mathematics/linguistic characters in the file are produced through the facilities of the program itself (e.g. the equation editor of MS Word, or LaTeX for maths). If the equations have been produced by making use of some special program other than that used for the body of the text, the conversion to the typesetting system is a more complex matter.

Equation numbering and citation

Equations are not punctuated.

Eqs. (1) and (2) abbreviated even at start of sentence. All single letter variables and constants are to be made italic. Subscripts and superscripts are roman if they are not variables. To differentiate the vectors and matrices from scalar parameters/variables,

please use the following font specification:

– Vectors: Bold and italics or italics with overhead arrow (e.g., vector x, τ or x,τ r r)

– Matrices: Bold and Roman (e.g., matrix A or AT)

– Scalar variable: Italics (e.g., variable x or y)

Direct Quotations: When quoting, always provide the author, year, and specific page citation or paragraph number for nonpaginated material. Cite the quote source and the page or paragraph number in parentheses at the end of the quotation.

Footnotes and Endnotes

Footnotes are preferred

Endnotes should be used only if absolutely necessary and must be identified in the text by consecutive superscript numbers outside punctuations and listed at the end of the article

The use of footnotes or endnotes should be consistently used throughout the book

Appendices

Appendices will be placed at the end of the reference section. The numbering of the figures and tables in the Appendix should be named as A1, A2, A3, etc., even if there is only one Appendix. If a chapter contains 2 appendices, the first appendix should be named as

Appendix A and the second appendix should be named as Appendix B. Further, if Appendix A has 3 equations, the equations should be named as A.1, A.2 and A.3.
