Tables may use the whole column (15.5 cm width) or half a column (7.75 cm), using 8 point sans serif font. Captions should be 8 point, justified, above the table, such:

Poorly-formatted references will be returned to the author(s) for correction – this is your responsibility!Please examine a copy of the AJES for the correct style, or use a reference management program such as Endnote.
