ABSTRACT (FONT 12, CAPITAL, BOLD)


The abstract should summarize the content of the paper. Try to keep the abstract below 200 words. Do
not make references nor display equations in the abstract. The journal will be printed from the samesized copy prepared by you. Your manuscript should be printed on A4 paper (21.0 cm x 29.7 cm). It is
imperative that the margins and style described below be adhered to carefully. This will enable us to
keep uniformity in the final printed copies of the Journal. Please keep in mind that the manuscript you
prepare will be photographed and printed as it is received. Readability of copy is of paramount
importance. (Font 11, 1.5 line spacing)

Keywords (Font 12, Bold) - About five key words in alphabetical order, separated by comma. (Font
11, Bold)

I. INTRODUCTION (FONT 12, CAPITAL, BOLD)


The introduction of the paper should explain the nature of the problem, previous work, purpose, and
the contribution of the paper. The contents of each section may be provided to understand easily about
the paper. (Font 11, 1.5 line spacing)

II. HEADINGS (FONT 12, CAPITAL, BOLD)


Headings starting with "1. INTRODUCTION" appear in UPPER CASE letters and Sub-headings
appear in Sentence Case letters and should be set in bold and aligned flush left. All headings from
the Introduction to Acknowledgements are numbered sequentially using 1, 2, 3, etc. Subheadings are
numbered 1.1, 1.2, etc. If a subsection must be further divided, the numbers 1.1.1, 1.1.2, etc. (Font 11,
1.5 line spacing)

The font size for heading is 12 points bold face and sub-sections with 11 points and bold face. Do
not underline any of the headings, or add dashes, colons, etc.

III. INDENTATIONS AND EQUATIONS (FONT 12, CAPITAL, BOLD)


The first paragraph under each heading or subheading should be flush left. A colon is inserted before
an equation is presented, but there is no punctuation following the equation. All equations are
numbered and referred to in the text solely by a number enclosed in a round bracket (i.e., (3) reads as
"equation 3"). Ensure that any miscellaneous numbering system you use in your paper cannot be
confused with a reference [4] or an equation (3) designation.

IV. FIGURES AND TABLES (FONT 12, CAPITAL, BOLD)


To ensure a high-quality product, diagrams and lettering MUST be either computer-drafted or drawn
using India ink.
Figure captions appear below the figure, are flush left, and are in lower case letters. When referring to
a figure in the body of the text, the abbreviation "Fig." is used. Figures should be numbered in the
order they appear in the text.
Table captions appear centered above the table in upper and lower case letters. When referring to a
table in the text, no abbreviation is used and "Table" is capitalized.

V. CONCLUSION (FONT 12, CAPITAL, BOLD)


A conclusion section must be included and should indicate clearly the advantages, limitations, and
possible applications of the paper. Although a conclusion may review the main points of the paper, do
not replicate the abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on the importance of the
work or suggest applications and extensions.

VI. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (FONT 12, CAPITAL, BOLD)


An acknowledgement section may be presented after the conclusion, if desired.

REFERENCES (FONT 12, CAPITAL, BOLD)


This heading is not assigned a number.
A reference list MUST be included using the following information as a guide. Only cited text
references are included. Each reference is referred to in the text by a number enclosed in a square

bracket (i.e., [3]). References must be numbered and ordered according to where they are first
mentioned in the paper, NOT alphabetically.
