Use Calibri 10 point size and exactly 14 point line spacing for all text. Avoid underlining any text. Manuscripts submitted for review should be prepared in line with these guidelines. The documents should be well written and free of spelling and grammatical errors. Authors should run their documents through a grammar and spell checker to correct any errors prior to submission.
Formatting of documents is important to ensure consistent appearance. This document is formatted in the same manner that your paper should be. The manuscript should be created in Microsoft Word.
Additional levels of sub-headings
Additional levels of sub-headings are to be in 10 pt italic and bold. No numbering. For the purposes of clarity authors are encouraged not to use more than three levels of subheadings.
Leave one line of space between the end of a section and the beginning of another heading.
2 Figures and Tables
2.1 General
Figures and tables may be used to better illustrate the points made or to better present data. All figures and tables must be embedded in the manuscript near the first reference to the corresponding figure or table. Figures and tables should be numbered consecutively as Table 1: and so forth or Figure 1: and so forth. Use smaller font (9 pt bold) for tables and figure captions.
2.2 Figures
The figures should be centrally placed in the document, with equal margins on both sides and fit within the document’s margins. The figure caption should be centred, numbered and positioned below the figure, clearly acknowledging the source (see Figure 1).
2.3 Tables
The tables should be editable and centrally placed in the documents similar to the figures. The table caption should be centred, numbered and positioned above the table, clearly acknowledging the source (see Table 1).
Locate tables close to the first reference to them in the text and number them consecutively. Avoid abbreviations in column headings.
