1. All manuscripts must be in English.

2. Please read ReadMe file and then you can download:

• MS WORD template
• MS WORD sample paper

or
• Latex template
• Latex zip file

and follow the template for formatting your paper. (There might be minor inconsistencies between author's formatting instructions and the Word/Latex templates. If you are using a template you may ignore such inconsistencies.)

3. Paper layout. The on-line journal will uniformly use A1 format. Do not add page numbers. We will add page numbers later.

4. Type style/size. Text is to be typed single space in 10-point Times-Roman with 12-point interline spacing in a two-column format. The title should be 14-point boldface type and centered over both columns. The author name(s) and affiliation(s) should be 12-point nonboldface type, upper and lower case centered. Subsection headings are to be 11-point boldface type, flush left.

5. Column width and height. The column width is 3-1/4 inches (20 picas or 8.3 cm) with a 5/16" (2 picas or 0.8cm) gutter. Margins are 3/4" (4.6 picas or 1.9 cm) on the sides and top, and 1" (6 picas or 2.5 cm) on the bottom. The specifications for margins are only approximate. If the resulting printable is a little larger or smaller, it is okay.

Start the first page 1-1/16" (6.5 picas or 2.7 cm) from the top. Skip a line between the title and author name(s) and two lines between the author affiliation(s) and the text. The text length should mot exceed 8-7/8" (22.8 cm). If the last page fills only one column, please divide the text into two equal columns.

6. Print all type and graphics directly on pages formatted according to the instructions. Do not affix elements to your pages unless those elements cannot otherwise be included.

7. Abstract. The abstract can be up to 3" (18 picas or 7.6 cm) long. You can type the abstract in italics or regular type. Leave two spaces between the abstract and the text.

8. Illustrations, Graphs and Photographs. Illustrations, graphs, and photographs may fit across both columns if necessary, but keep the text in two columns. Your artwork must be in place on the article. If you are using photographs, try to supply the best quality photographs or illustrations possible. The quality of the final product will be only as good as the originals provided.

9. Footnotes and references. Use footnotes sparingly and place them at the bottom of the column in which they are referenced. List and number all bibliographical references at the end of the paper. When referenced within the text, enclose the number in square brackets []. Where appropriate, include editor(s) of a book.

10. Copyright Form. Please fill out the Copyright Form, convert it into pdf file and append the signed copyright form to the pdf file of the paper for submission to EasyChair.
