further guidelines and information to help you submit high quality artwork

please visit: /artworkinstructions.

Artwork has no text along the side of it in the main body of the text. However, if two

images fit next to each other, these may be placed next to each other to save space.

Images should be both included in the template, and uploaded as separate high

resolution files.

iv. Equations

Equations and formulae should be typed in Mathtype, and numbered consecutively with

Arabic numerals in parentheses on the right hand side of the page (if referred to

explicitly in the text). They should also be separated from the surrounding text by one

space.

v. References

In the text the number of the reference should be given in square brackets. For

references with more than two authors, text citations should be shortened to the first

name followed by et al., e.g. Jones [1] ; Recent results from Brown and

Carter [2] and Green et al. [3] indicate that (?).

Only essential references, which are directly referred to in the text, should be included

in the reference list.

References must be listed in numerical order at the end of the paper. Do not begin them

on a new page unless this is absolutely necessary. They should be prepared according

to the sequential numeric system making sure that all material mentioned is generally

available to the reader.

Journal references should include: author's surname and initials; initials and surnames

of remaining authors; article title (where provided); abbreviated journal title (in italics),

year of publication, volume number and page numbers.

References to books should include: author's surname and initials; surnames and

initials of remaining authors; the book title (in italics); the place of publication and the

name of the publisher; and year of publication. References to multi-author works should

include author's surname(s) and initials, the chapter title (where provided); "In:" followed

by book title (in italics); initials and name(s) of editors(s) in brackets; volume number

and pages; the place of publication and name of the publisher, followed by the year of

publication.

Here is an example of some references listed according to the sequential numeric

system:

Commun 2000;163:51-9.

Inc; 1999, p. 281-304.

vi. Footnotes

Footnotes should be avoided if possible. Necessary footnotes should be denoted in the

text by consecutive superscript letters. The footnotes should be typed single spaced,

and in smaller type size (8pt), at the foot of the page in which they are mentioned, and

separated from the main text by a short line extending at the foot of the column. The

.Els-footnote. style is available in the "MS Word Template" for the text of the footnote.

Please do not change the margins of the template as this can result in the footnote

falling outside printing range.

vii. General guidelines for the preparation of your text

Avoid hyphenation at the end of a line. Symbols denoting vectors and matrices should

be indicated in bold type. Scalar variable names should normally be expressed using

italics. Weights and measures should be expressed in SI units. All non-standard

abbreviations or symbols must be defined when first mentioned, or a glossary provided.

Once you have prepared your manuscript following the instructions above, proceed
