manuscript format. Dimensions are as follows: top margin:
7/8 inch; bottom margin: 1 inch; left and right margins:
3/4 inch; column separation 1/2 inch for 2-column

- 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.
- Manuscripts should be single-spaced with
double spacing between paragraphs, and 5-space paragraph
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.
- The paper should include: (a) Title - 10
words maximum length; (b) author's name, affiliation and
present address; (c) abstract - Maximum 200 words for
papers; (d) a maximum of six key words; (e) a clearly
written introduction to explain the nature of the
problem, previous work, purpose and contribution of the
paper; and (f) a conclusions section must be included and
should indicate clearly the advantages, limitations and
possible applications.
- 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
100-line screen). If they must be pasted up, use rubber
cement to affix the halftones in place. Halftones can be
shot from a color or black- and-white photo.
