1. Introduction

It is expected that authors will submit carefully written and proofread material. Selected
conference proceedings will be reviewed for consideration to be published in Special Issue of (i)
indexed journal (ISI/SCOPUS); or (ii) refereed journal (Journal of Contemporary Islamic Studies -
JCIS). Please use British English only. The maximum page length should be 8-10 pages, including
text, tables, figures and references.
State the background, a short literature survey and objective(s) in Introduction section. Use
the international system of units (SI). Technical terms should be explained unless they may be
considered to be known to the conference community. State the corresponding author. The manuscript
should at least contain Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgement
and References.

2. Paper Format

Paper must be prepared on A4 size (210 �297 mm) with 1 inch margins left, right, top and bottom.
The submission file is in Microsoft Word/Open Office document file format. Prepare text in a single
column and use font type Times New Roman, size 11 pt. All text paragraphs should be single spaced,
with first line indented by 10 mm. No spaces should be placed between paragraphs. Do not underline
email addresses or URLs and do not typeset them in blue color. Do not include page numbers and
running heads. All section titles must be First Letter Capitalized.

2.1 Emphasis and Special Types

Italics should be used for emphasizing words or phrase in running text, but do not format
entire paragraphs in italics.
2.2 Tables and Figures

The tables and figures should be numbered consecutively. Figures and tables haven't cited in the text
should not be presented. Figures and tables should be placed close after their first reference in the text.
All figures, tables, formulas, etc. must be within the margin. The tables and figures should be one line
of space above and one line of space below before the text continues.

2.2.1 Table Formats

Use the table function to create and format tables. Do not use the space bar or multiple tabs to
separate columns and do not use Excel to create tables as this can cause problems when converting
your table into the typesetting program and others format.

2.2.2 Table Captions

Table captions begin with the term Table in bold type, followed by the table number, also in
bold type. Table captions should be centred above the table. The following is the example for Table 1.

3 6 0.62 0.23
4 16 0.89 0.52
5 7 1.24 0.36
m mean, 1 SD standard deviation

2.2.3 Figure Formats

Graphic and diagrams should be saved as EPS (encapsulated postscript) files with the fonts
embedded, Microsoft Office files (excel or PowerPoint) can be submitted in the original format (xls,
xlsx, ppt, pptx). Scanned graphics in TIFF format should have minimum resolutions of 1200 dpi.
Photos or drawings with fine shading should be saved as TIFF with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi.
A combination of halftone and line art (e.g. Photos, containing line drawing or extensive
lettering, color diagrams, etc.) should be saved as TIFF with a minimum resolution of 600 dpi.

2.2.4 Figure Captions

Figure captions begin with the term Fig. in bold type, followed by the figure number, also
in bold type. Figure captions should be centred below the figures as shown in Fig. 1. The figures
should be 78 mm – 117 (3-4 ½ inches) wide and not higher than 198 mm (7 ¾ inches). Color figures
will appear in color in the eBook, but will usually be printed in black and white.

2.3 Equations

Equations should be numbered consecutively with equation numbers in parentheses on the

right-hand edge of the text as shown in Eq. (1).

c2 = a2 + b2 (1)

The equation should be one line of space above and one line of space below before the text continues.
In Word, use the Math function of Word 2007 or 2010, Math type or Microsoft Editor to create your
equations and make sure super- and subscripts are distinguishable. Within equations, number,
punctuation, parentheses, common function names, units or mathematical signs are set upright. The
variables are set in italics and vectors are set in bold. Digits are used for all numbers larger than ten.
Commas are used to separate thousands and decimal point to separate decimals.

2.4 Bibliography

Cite references in the text with author name/s and year of publication in parentheses. For one
or two authors, the references should be cited as Egan (2008), (Egan, 2008), William and Lewis
(2011) or (William & Lewis, 2011). For three or more authors, include only the surname of the
first author followed by et al. and year of publication, e.g. Cheng et al. (2012) or (Cheng et al.,
2012). For two or more papers published in the same year by the same author(s), it can be written
as Cheng et al. (2012a,b). If two or more authors are cited at the same point in the text, then they
are included in the same in-text citation, separated by a semicolon, e.g. (Egan, 2008; William &
Lewis, 2011).
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and
vice versa). The references should be in alphabetical order. See examples in the list of references
below.

3. Conclusion

Do not submit a reworked version of a paper you have submitted or published elsewhere. All
submissions are peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers.

4. Acknowledgements

If no acknowledgement is necessary, this section should not appear in the paper.
