Preparation of abstract:

The abstracts should be typed on one side of A4 size papers with font Times New Roman and 1.5 line spacing. Margins of 2.5 cm should be on all sides except the left margin. The left margin should be 3 cm.

A.     Title

Tiles should be simple and concise. Begin the first word with a capital letter and thereafter capitalize only proper names and chemical symbols (font size – 11, bold). Text alignment – center

B. Author(s) name(s)

Upper case letter only for the initials and the first letter of the family name. (font size – 11, normal)  

Write the names and postal addresses of all institutions in full. (font size –11, normal)

D.    Abstract

The abstract should be less than 250 words and be completely self-contained (font size – 11, normal).

E.     Main body of the paper

The body of the paper (text and math font size – 11, normal) should be divided into sections with the use of section headings and subheadings

1. PRINCIPAL HEADING
   Left- justified heading, all capital letters, preceded by a Roman numeral and a period. (font size –  11, bold)

          A.     First subheading

          Left- justified heading, first letter of first word capital, preceded by a Roman capital letter  followed by a period. (font size – 11, bold)


         A.1 Second subheading

        Left-justified heading, first letter of the first word capital, preceded by a Roman capital letter followed by a period and a number (font size – 11, bold)

2. References, figure and table numbering

   Please follow the instructions given under H. References below for citing publications in the text and the in the list of references. In the body of paper figures and tables must be cited consecutively in numerical order. Tables and Figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals (1,2,3, etc). Use (a), (b), (c), etc to label the parts of Figures. (font size – 11, normal)

   .     

3. Equation numbering
   Equations that are important, long, complex, or referenced later in the paper are set off from the text (displayed) and may be numbered consecutively with Arabic numbers within parentheses (1), (2), (3), etc. These numbers are placed to the extreme right of the equation.

F.      Acknowledgements

The acknowledgment section follows the main body of the paper. One paragraph is suggested, with acknowledgement of financial support listed at the end. A principal heading is used for this section, but the section is not numbered.

G.       Footnotes

Use lower case letters a, b, c, etc. to label the footnotes. Refer to the footnote in the body text by the insertion of label as a superscript. (font size – 10, normal)

H.    References

Citation of reference information should be as simple as possible. In the text refere to the author’s name (without initial) and year publication. Example: Since John (1982) has shown that or …. in agreement with results obtained later (John 1982). If there are two authors use for eg. John and Smith (1982). If the publication referred to in text is written by more than two authors, the name of the first author should be followed by et al. (eg. John et al. 1982). This indication however, should never be used in the list of references. In this list names al all the authors should be mentioned.

References cited together in the text should be arranged chronologically. Follow the instructions given below when preparing the final reference list at the end of the manuscript. The list should be arranged in alphabetical order on author’s name, and chronologically per author. Publications by the same author(s) in the same year should be listed as 1982a, 1982b, etc. Use standard abbreviations for the names of journals. (font size – 11, normal)
