This is a precise summary of your entire paper, not just your conclusions, and it must be able to stand alone, separate from the rest of the paper. Please do not include citations to other works in the abstract and avoid the use of abbreviations. It should briefly state the purpose of the research, principal results and major conclusions.
Keywords: Enclose with each manuscript, on a separate page, from three to five keywords.
Typing Format: Double space with a minimum of 11pt fonts. Margins of at least 1in.
Headings and Subheadings: Use no more than three levels of headings. Begin all headings at the left margin and capitalize the first letter of the first word only. Headings should be numbered as, e.g., 1, 1.3, 2.4.5, etc.
Footnotes: Each footnote should appear at the bottom of the page on which it is cited in the text and should be indicated consecutively with superscript Arabic numerals.
Equations: Number consecutively only those equations that are referenced in the text. Indent equations and place numbers in parentheses at the right margin.

Tables: Type tables on separate pages after the references. Center the word "Table" followed by an Arabic numeral above the body of the table. Separate headings in a table from the title of the table and from the body of the table with solid lines. Verify that the text contains a reference to each table. When referring to a specific table in the text of the paper, use Table 1, Table 2, etc.
Figures: Figures must appear after the tables. Verify that the text contains a reference to each figure. When referring to specific figures in the text, use Fig. 1, Fig. 2, etc. When labeling figures, capitalize the first letter in the word and number with Arabic numerals (e.g., Figure 1). In figure titles, capitalize the first letter of the first word only. When supplying color figures, ensure that there is sufficient contrast to enable clear black and white printing. No figures will be printed in color.
