1.1 Language. All paper must be in English. Standard English or American spelling is used
but consistency should be maintained within a paper.
1.2 Paper. Papers present original work that has not been previously published. Papers
should be written clearly and concisely, no longer than 12 pages, including all text,
figures, and references. Repetition with unnecessary words or phrases should be avoided.
The paper MUST be formatted in Microsoft Word set for standard-sized paper (8.5 x 11
inch [216 x 280 mm]) with one inch top, bottom and side margins. Please DON’T submit
abstract or full paper with PDF format. Type and submit the paper in 1.5 space using the
Times New Roman 12 normal point font.
1.3 Opening line. Use important statements in the first line of a paragraph, with the
remainder of the paragraph explanatory to the opening statement.
1.4 Voice. Use the active voice in most sentence constructions. It lends conciseness and
certitude to the sentences. The passive voice is less concise and sometimes infuses the
text with uncertainty.
1.5 Material. Present material in easy-to-read language. Avoid jargon and define technical
terms when necessary for clarity.
1.6 Title: Make this a brief and precise description of the paper's contents. A paper should
have a short, straightforward title directed at the general reader, with 10 to 15 words are
sufficient.
1.7 Introduction: This should give clearly and briefly, with relevant references, both the
nature of the problem under investigation and its background. Citing only those
references that are germane to the paper. Be concise.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
You may head this section as such or simply as “Methods,” whichever is more appropriate to
the paper. Tell how you did the work. You may cite references that explain procedures you
used, such as “...using the XYZ test of Koch (1972).”
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Usually for the results to be presented first, followed by a discussion of their significance.
Tables, figures and equations should be used for purposes of clarity and brevity. The use of
flow diagrams and reaction schemes is encouraged. Data must not be reproduced in more
than one form, e.g. in both figures and tables, without good reason.
Tell what you found and discuss its importance to the field. Literature citations are
appropriate in this section, as well as in the Introduction, with the difference being that here
you use them to support your data. Do not use this section as an extension of the Introduction.
3.1 Tables. Make tables neat and clear. Type captions above the table. It should be inclusive
enough to allow the table to stand by itself. All captions and the tables themselves should
be in 12 point Times New Roman font. Use a minimum number of tables to support
textual discussion. Tables should be numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
3.2 Figures. Figures should be clear and neat. Photos or figures should be submitted in the
.tif or .jpeg format. Computer-generated figures should have black symbols on white
background. Do not submit shaded figure backgrounds or bar-graphs where differences
are shown by various shades and hues of gray. These will be difficult to read in the hard
copy – black and white printing. Use cross-hatching or another method to differentiate
among bars.
3.3 Tables and figures should be kept to a minimum and will in general only be published if
they are essential to understanding the communication. Excessive use of diagrams and
duplication of data in text, tables and figures is discouraged.
