Your final extended abstract must be single spaced and be maximum 3 pages. Save your file as a pdf file, and name the file as follows: “Extended abstract EAAE PhD 2013 Name”.

2Style instructions

Please use the styles defined in this template to format your paper. Please note that margins are already established (2.5 cm at all sides). More specific instructions can be found below.

2.1Font

Times New Roman. For inserted characters, use “Symbols”, to avoid character corruption.

2.4Headings and body

Bold, 12 pt. for first level, and Italics, 12 pt. for second level headings. Enumerate headings by Arabic numbers (1., 2., etc.).

Body text should be regular 11 pt., single spaced, justified.Only if you want to emphasize special parts of the text use Italics.Start a new paragraph by indenting it from the left margin by 1 cm (do not insert a blank line).

2.5Page numbers

Please do not insert page numbers (but also do not forget the maximum page count is 3).

2.6Tables and figures

Tables and figures should be placed in the body of the article near to their citation. Enumerate them consecutively using Arabic numbers and type captions with an initial capital only (e.g. Table 1, Table 2, etc.). Use font 11 regular for Table caption, and font 9 regular for the rest of table information, legend and source. Leave one blank line (11 point) before the captions and one after the source (alternatively, use line spacing options). An example table can be found in Table 1.

Table 1 Example table

Item / Font Size / Font Style
Table and Figures caption / 11 / Regular
Table data, legend and Source / 9 / Regular

Source: own elaboration

For figures’ title, legend and source, the table style rules also apply. Furthermore, when choosing the colours of your figures, remember that paper might be printed in black and white colour. Figure 1is intended to illustrate the positioning of a figure. Please keep in mind the distinction between tables and figures: tables only contain alphanumerical characters and no graphical elements.
