Instructions to Authors on Preparation of Manuscript
The paper should be
formatted in one column format with the figures at the end. A maximum
of eight keywords should be indicated below the abstract to describe
the contents of the manuscript. Leave a blank line between each
paragraph and between each entry in the list of bibliographic
references. Tables should preferably be placed in the same electronic
file as the text. There is no need to spend time formatting your
article so that the printout is visually attractive (e.g. by making
headings bold or creating a page layout with figures), as most
formatting instructions will be removed upon processing.
Authors are advised to use
Times New Roman 12-point font. Be especially careful when you are
inserting special characters, as those inserted in different fonts may
be replaced by different characters when converted to PDF files. It
is well known that '�' will be replaced by other characters when fonts such as 'Symbol' or 'Mincho'
are used.
We recommend that authors
prepare the text as a Microsoft Word file.

The introduction should
state the purpose of the article and that it complies with the
Theme of the Conference.
Tables.
All tables should be prepared in a form consistent with recent issues
of a journal and should be numbered consecutively with Arabic
numerals. Explanatory material should be given in the table legends
and footnotes. Each table should be prepared on a separate page.
(Note that when a manuscript is accepted for presentation, tables must
be submitted as data - .doc, .rtf, Excel or PowerPoint file- because
tables submitted as image data cannot be edited for publication.)
Equations and Formulae.
These must be set up clearly and should be typed triple spaced.
Numbers identifying equations should be in square brackets and placed
on the right margin of the text.
Figures & Photographs.
Submit an original figure or photograph. Line drawings must be clear,
with high black and white contrast. Each figure or photograph should
be prepared on a separate sheet and numbered consecutively with Arabic
numerals. Appropriate sized numbers, letters and symbols should be
used, no smaller than 2 mm in size after reduction to single column
width (85 mm), 1.5-column width (120 mm) or full 2-column width (175
mm). For electronic figures, create your figures using applications
that are capable of preparing high resolution TIFF files acceptable
for publication. In general, we require 300 dpi or higher resolution
for colored and half-tone artwork and 1200 dpi or higher for line
drawings. For review, you may attach low-resolution figures, which
are still clear enough for reviewing, to keep the file of the
manuscript under 5 MB.
Results: Provide a detailed report on the data obtained during the study. All data in
the text must be consistent throughout the manuscript, including any
illustrations, legends, or tables.
Discussion: Be succinct. What does
your study show? Discuss the importance of your paper with regard to
the relevant world literature; a complete literature review is
unnecessary. Analyze your data and discuss their strengths, their
weaknesses, and the limitations of the study.
Legends must be included for all illustrations and listed in order. Explain what each
illustration shows. Give the magnification of all photomicrographs.
Define all arrows and other such indicators appearing on the
illustration.
