2.0 The order of your manuscript
The following order is the recommended structure of a manuscript :
· Introduction (purpose of research, significant of research supported by a literature survey, outline of contents, explanation and others).
· Nomenclature (Subscripts)
· Main body of text (theoretical analysis, method, results of experiment, interpretation of results and discussion)
· Conclusion (conclusion obtained through research)
· Acknowledgement
· Appendix
· References
The above order is presented as an example, and authors may select the most suitable and effective style for the contents of their manuscript. Figures and tables may be included in main body text or in Appendix. Please refer to the following website for details of the format : http://www.i-product.biz/jsme/eng/data/writing.html .
