- Abstract, keywords, footnotes, figure and table captions, references in the reference list, the “Acknowledgement(s)”, and page headers use Times New Roman 10 pts.
- Numbering of sections and subsections: “2 Section”, “2.1 Subsection”. Section header bold, subsection header bold italic, sub-sub-section header italic. Size 11 points, normal line space between header and following text.
- Captions are centered and italicized, text “Figure 1” in bold and italic. Figure captions below figure, table captions above table. Table content in smaller (10 pts) font.
- References are blocks with 1.5 line space in between. Citation format is author (year) or (author, year), depending on context.
- Write in correct, clear English, with well-formed, concise, sentences. Use word breaks (hyphens) to keep inter-word spaces suitable.
