Abstract

To enter the abstract, highlight this text and write over it. Please note: If you are pasting text from another document, please use Edit / Paste Special… and select paste Unformatted Text. This is important because pasting unformatted text will not alter the formatting. This applies to both the abstract text and the body text. The abstract is one paragraph in 9-point Times New Roman font. The ‘Abstract’ heading should be in Arial font, 10 point, bold, and centred with one line space below it.

Keywords: please, place, your, keywords, here

Format Guidelines

Select this text and write over it to begin writing your concise paper. When you have finished writing this paragraph, press Enter and a new indented paragraph will be ready to type. You may wish to save a copy of this document and/or print it for reference.

Below are some guidelines for formatting your paper. We have preformatted this document for you so that you can use the existing headings, text and reference entries to write over them. You can write up to five pages maximum. Please follow the guidelines carefully.

Please indent all paragraphs in the text (except for the abstract) rather than placing a space between them. Please indent the first line of each paragraph.

The text of the paper should be justified (text aligned to both left and right) in this two column format. Use 10-point Times Roman font, unless otherwise specified.

The title of the paper should be in Arial font, 16 point, bold, and centred. All headings are in Arial font.

First-Level Headings

Here is a list of headings. You can copy and paste them and then write over them to suit your paper. First-level headings should be in 12-point Arial font, bold and centred. Please leave a line space above all first-level, second-level and third-level headings to separate them from the text.

Second-Level Headings

Second-level headings should be in 11-point Arial font, bold, and left aligned.

Third-Level Headings Third-level headings should be 10-point Arial font, bold, and left aligned.

Further Guidelines for Presentation

Here are some guidelines if you need to include footnotes, tables or figures. Mark footnotes with a number.[1] Place the footnotes at the bottom of the page.

Tables

Table numbers and titles should be in 10 point and left justified with a line space above and below the title (see Table 1). You may set tables across both columns if you need to.

Figures

You can paste figures (e.g., images, graphs, maps, etc) into the text box (see Figure 1). Use the Enter key to create a gap in the text for placement of the text box. You can place figures within one column, or if necessary, place them across two columns. The figure caption should be below the figure in 9-point Times New Roman Font and bold. Italicise the word ‘Figure’, followed by the figure number.
