Length of paper

There is no strict limit on the length of a manuscript. Nevertheless, authors are asked to make the manuscripts as concise as possible and to limit them to less than 40 manuscript pages. Three manuscript pages (12-point font, typed in double space) equal approximately one printed page. The space required for the figures and tables should be calculated on the basis of their final printed size.

- Use the table function, not spreadsheets, to make tables.

Note: If you use Word 2007 (or higher vresion), do not create the equations with the default equation editor but use MathType instead.

Footnotes

Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data).

Formulae and symbols

Formulae, symbols and all subscripts, superscripts, Greek letters, and other characters must be legible and carefully checked. Standard mathematical notation should be used. All symbols used in manuscript must be explained. A list of symbols should follow the abstract if such a list is needed. All equations must be numbered.

Single letters that denote mathematical constants, variables, and unknown quantities should be set in italic type in text and in equations. Numerals, operators, and punctuation should be set in Roman type (upright), as are commonly defined functions or abbreviations, e.g., cos, det, e or exp, lim, log, max, min, sin, tan, d (for derivative) should also be upright . Vectors, tensors, and matrices should be set in bold italic.
