Abstract:
These are the guidelines for authors to publish in the Journal of Urban and
Environmental Engineering (JUEE). The aim of JUEE is to publish papers which are
clear, concise and uniformly presented, in a style readily understood by an international
readership. Microsoft Word is the preferred word processing format. In brief: (a) write
in English; (b) present the material simply and concisely, in particular cross-check
details of references; (c) use 11 pt Times New Roman font (also in Equation Editor 3.0)
and set the paper size to A4 (21 × 29.7 cm); (d) include tables and figures at
appropriate points in the text; plan their layout to use page space economically and
ensure all figures and tables are cited in the text, in numerical order; (e) check that all
the figures and tables are clearly legible; (f) embed graphics for all figures, saved in the
word processed file (e.g. Word); make sure only standard fonts are used in graphics
files; if non-standard fonts are used they must be embedded; (g) the papers may not
exceed 20 printed pages; (h) access the JUEE’s page at www.journal-uee.org to submit
the paper; (i) PDF files are suitable for the peer-review process; however, for accepted
papers, the word processor files (preferably Word/RTF) will be required by JUEE for
production. Before sending your paper to JUEE, please note the detailed instructions in
this sample. Note also that the length of the abstract is free; however, the cover page
must be within one page and the Introduction must start on the second page. The
submissions are free of charge.

to indicate affiliations if necessary. Use 10pt Verdana
font.
Affiliation Provide the affiliation and the telephone/fax
numbers. Use 8pt italic Verdana font.
Date of acceptance The affiliation list is followed by
the dates of receiving, revising and acceptance. Use 8pt
Verdana font with one line spacing between them as
shown in the present sample.

Page numbers They should be right-aligned and should
appear at the top of each page. Since these pieces of
information will be notified by the secretariat of JUEE
before completing the final manuscripts, number the
pages tentatively from 1.
Footnotes and remarks Avoid using footnotes and/or
remarks. If any, try to explain it in the text, or in
appendices.
HEADINGS (DO NOT INDENT THE HEADING IF
IT IS LONG)
In this Word file, several tags (Styles and Formatting)
are already set to be used in headings and paragraphs.
Listed points should begin with (a), (b), (c) …, and
further subdivisions denoted by (i), (ii), (iii) … The
initial capitals are used in proper names, e.g. (a) River
Amazon, Ishite Dam, the Earth; (b) adjectives derived
from proper names, e.g. Markov series, Arctic ice,
Bayesian estimation; (c) geological eras and formations
etc., e.g. Cambrian, Holocene, Upper Greensand; (d)
references to equations, tables and figures, e.g. “it is
seen from Eq. (5), Fig. 3 and Table 2 that …” The
names Eq., Fig. and Table must be in bold.
Main heading
Abstract This should present the main points of the
paper and give the principal conclusions. It should be a
single paragraph and symbols and equations, as well as
references, are discouraged unless absolutely necessary.
Use 11pt Times New Roman font.
Capital letters in 11pt bold face fonts should be used for
main headings (chapter titles) as is shown in this
example: Upper case, bold, start at left margin. Leave
single spacing of lines before every headings and 6pt
after them.
Keywords Include up to 10 keywords/phrases, such as:
approach; location; models used; techniques. Use 11pt
Times New Roman font.
Sub-headings for sections
Copyright After the keywords the following sentence
in italic must be written with the correspondent correct
year of publication: © 2007 Journal of Urban and
Environmental Engineering (JUEE). All rights reserved.
Layout and fonts of the main text
From the second page, the main text, in double columns
with 88 mm put side by side with 4 mm gap in between,
must be single-spaced with double spacing between
chapters. The first line of each paragraph is not
indented. Use 11pt Times-Roman font for the text and
equations.
The journal name, volume and issue numbers
and the date of issue should be aligned right in the
bottom margin. Page numbers are to be put aligned
right in the top margins of the manuscript, and
author’s surnames must be put in aligned center in
the top margin. Their font must be Verdana 8pt.
The sub-headings for sections (Heading 2) should be in
lower case, bold, start at left margin. Leave single
spacing of line before every sub-headings and 6pt after
them.
Sub-headings for sub-sections
The Headings 3 are in lower case, bold, indented; text
run on.
MATHEMATICS
Use special high quality fonts for all mathematical
equations in the text. All mathematics should be legible
and clear, particularly in the position of subscripts,
superscripts and multiline expressions. Follow the ISO
31-11 standard for notation (refer to the summary points
opposite). In Equation Editor, define the font of all
Styles (except Symbol) to Times New Roman. Some
equations may be placed off the text centered as:

Some equations appear in the text as Cd α(z). If their
quality is not satisfactory, the manuscript may not be
accepted. Numbered Eq. (1) and (2), for example,
should be center-aligned. Number all displayed
equations in parentheses at the right-hand margin, even
if they are not referenced in the text. References in the
text should be in the form: “…Eq. (15) …”
Units
Use SI units or SI derived units. Do not abbreviate
week, month or year, which are non SI units. Use s,
min, h and d (rather than sec, mins, hr/hrs, day/days) for
second, minute, hour and day, respectively. Use L
(rather than l) for liter; use hm3 (rather than Mm3, which
means 1018 m3) for millions of cubic meters.
Multiplication of units should be indicated by a space,
e.g. N m, and division by use of solidus (e.g. m/s2);
however repeated use of the solidus (e.g. m/s/s) is not
permitted. Prefixes of units such as M (mega = 106) and
µ (micro = 10-6) have no space between (e.g. µs, MW).
Note that any power to a unit applies also to the prefix.
Note also that the prefix kilo is lower case k (e.g. km,
not Km – the upper case K is the symbol of kelvin). All
units should be typeset using upright (Roman) fonts, not
italic or bold.
Commonly used abbreviations such as a.m.s.l. (above
mean sea level), BOD (biochemical oxygen demand),
DO (dissolved oxygen), RMS (root mean square), SD
(standard deviation) and TDS (total dissolved solids)
need not to be defined. Less obvious ones, such as
ADCO (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler), ANN
(artificial neural networks) and PCA (principal
components analysis), should be given in full when first
used, followed by the abbreviation or acronym in
brackets). Abbreviations such as FAO, IAHS, UK,
USA, UNESCO WMO, JUEE, do not have full points.
Use °N, °S, °Z, °W when defining geographical
locations by lines of latitude and longitude, but north,
south, northeast, southwestern etc. otherwise.

Fig. 2 Place the caption below the drawing.
Dr, Mr, Engng etc. (which end with the last letter of
the word they abbreviate) do not have full point. For
times of day use, 04:30 h or 04:30 GMT; 18.00 UCT.
Cross-references to equations, tables and figures in the
text should be in the form “Eq. (2)”, “Eqs (4) and (5)”
“Table 4”, “Fig. 5” or “Figs 6 and 7”. Use: i.e., e.g.
etc., cf., viz. Avoid starting a sentence with an
abbreviation: spell out the abbreviation in full or
rearrange the sentence.
Numerals
(a) Use numerals before units of measurement unless
the number is at the beginning of a sentence, e.g.
“Thirty-milliliter samples were taken every 5 s …”
(b) Leave a character space between the number and
the unit except before units such as %, ‰, °C, °N.
(c) Numbers from one to nine should be spelt out,
except where there are units or the number implies
arithmetical manipulation, e.g. a factor of 7. The
decimal sign is a full point (period) on the line.
Numerals of five or more digits on either side of the
decimal point are grouped in three-digit blocks by
spaces, e.g. 32 239.4322, 0.894 21. Numbers less
than one must have 0 before the decimal point, e.g.
0.45, -0.782.
(d) Ranges should be given in full, e.g. 1977–2006,
pages 344–352; to avoid confusion with subtraction,
there should be no space either side of the en-dash.
Units need not be repeated in ranges, e.g. 12–150
°C, from 235 to 12 900 km2, between 743 and 12
200 km2.
(e) Spell out first, second, etc.

(2002)”, for two authors: “… (Lopes & Savic,
2004)…”; and for three or more:, “Suzuki et al. (2006)
showed…” The full details of all cited text must be
listed at the end of the text and all entries in the
reference list must be cited in the text. Examples for
Journal (first and second examples), Book (third and
fourth examples), Edited Book (fifth example), Report
(sixth example), Thesis (seventh example) and doi
(eighth example) are given in the References.
In this manuscript sample, the references are not
listed in the alphabetical order because they are grouped
by examples; however they must be listed in
alphabetical order in the manuscript.
Other common abbreviations used in references are:
vol., ed. (edited), edn (edition), PhD, MSc, Proc.
(Proceedings of the), Inst. (Institute), Instn (Institution),
Symp., Conf., and Tech. (Technical). For the examples
of journal abbreviation see Table 2.
FIGURES AND TABLES
Location of figures and tables
Figures, tables and photographs should be inserted at
the upper or lower part of the page where reference is
first made to them. Do not place them altogether at the
end of the manuscript. Then, all diagrams and
photographs should be referred to as figures and
numbered serially in the order they are mentioned in the
text. If reference is made to separate parts of a figure,
label these (a), (b), (c), etc.
Figures or tables should occupy the whole width of a
column, as shown in Table 1 or Fig. 2 in this example,
or the whole width over two columns as in Table 2. Do
not place any text besides figures or tables. Insert about
one to two lines spacing above the main text.
Generate rows and columns of tables using the
features of your word processor; avoid the use of text
separated by tabs, or graphics of tables. Put short
explanatory caption above each table and, if necessary,
Acknowledgment Acknowledgment should follow
an explanation/legend below it, as shown in Table 2.
Conclusions and its text should be preceded by lower
case bold face heading directly.
Fonts and captions
Do not use too small characters in figures and tables. At
least, the letters should be larger than 8 pt. Captions
should be centered, but long captions must be indented
like an example of Table 1. The heading of captions is
9pt bold face. Each caption should be a brief but
complete description of the figure it refers to. To avoid
lengthy captions, include legends and appropriate
labeling on the figures themselves.
CITATION AND REFERENCE LIST
The reference list must be summarized at the end of
the main text. Use 9pt font for the list. You should
indicate a reference to someone else’s work in the text
by inserting the author’s surname and date in brackets.
For example, for single authors, use the form: “…Santos
