General Guidelines for Preparing Manuscript

摘要

The MANUSCRIPT, including the abstract, references, and captions, should be set up for 81/2×11 inch (or A4) pages with ample margins. The manuscript must be in good scientific American English. Number all pages in single sequence. The title page should contain the title of the article, the names and affiliations of the authors, a short abstract, and few keywords (not more than 7). All this matter should be written in a single-column format with single line spacing. E-mail address of the corresponding author must be provided on the title page. Rest of the manuscript text should be written in two-column format with single line spacing. Each column should be of 31/2 inch width and the separation between the columns should be at least 1/4 inch. Parts of the manuscript should be arranged in the following order: title, author(s), affiliation(s), abstract, keywords, body text, acknowledgments, appendices, and references. Papers should not be lengthened by unnecessary descriptions and repetitions, but neither should authors use a telegraphic style detrimental to the clarity and understanding of the paper. The final length of the full paper must not exceed 5 printed pages, including the title page. The length of brief notes must not exceed 2 printed pages. The text font should be Times New Roman with 11 pt size.
