Papers must be in English. Times New Roman 12pt font-size should be used with 1−inch margins. The title page document should contain the author(s) name, affiliation, any acknowledgements and an abstract of no more than 200 words. Pages should be numbered consecutively.
Figures and Tables
Each figure and table should be numbered, titled, and referred to in the text. The title should describe the content of the table or figure in as few words as possible using the following format:
Title of Table
(Table)
Section Headings
Do not number section headings or subheadings. Put headings in bold face type and subheadings in italics.
Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix and placed before the Reference section.
Notes
Please use footnotes rather than endnotes. Notes should be indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text.
Cross−Referencing
In the text, a reference identified by means of an author's name should be followed by the date of the reference in parenthesis and page number(s) where appropriate. Place the citation at the end of the sentence or before the quoted matter. When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by ``et al.''. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like ``a'' and ``b'' after the date to distinguish the works.
