- Manuscripts must be prepared so they can be
printed directly onto 8 1/2" by 11" plain white paper.
For those familiar with LaTeX, a copy of the LaTeX macro
is provided. You may have to edit the preamble to be sure you have
an inch for the top and bottom margins.

indentation. Allow an extra half space above a line
containing superscripts and below a line containing
subscripts. Do not include page numbers in final pdf
document.

words maximum length; (b) author's name, affiliation and
present address; (c) abstract - Maximum 200 words for

- Illustrations, graphs, and photographs may
fit across both columns, if necessary, but keep the text
in two-column format. Artwork must be in place on the
article (preferably, included in the text file rather
than pasted up). If you are using photographs, please
have halftones made at a print shop (using an 80- or

shot from a color or black- and-white photo.
