Tables

Tables with captions are placed here in numerical order and not embedded in main body

of the paper. Captions are placed at the head of the Table using 12 pt, Times New

Roman, Bold. Tables should not use vertical lines or shading.

Figure Captions and Figures

A list of figure captions is placed here. [12 pt, Times New Roman, bold].

Images of figures are then placed following this list in numerical order and not embedded

in the main body of the paper. Do not include the figure number within the actual image.

Captions are placed below the figures.

Authors should bear in mind that figures may be reduced to fit the Journal page, and take

particular care to ensure that figure symbols, line types, and lettering can be resolved at

publication size (a minimum of 18-20 pt, Arial is recommended). Figures should be

prepared for either column placement or half/full page placement. Select figure layouts

that are square or portrait over landscape to enable placement within a single column

unless the figure contains sufficient detail that a half page landscape figure is appropriate.

Authors should check each figure for legibility when reduced to column width. Colour to

grayscale conversion should be done before submission to assure that the figure will print

clearly in greyscale. Solid fills should be used, not gradient or textured fills. It is

important to vary line types and symbols, as shades of gray/black are difficult to

distinguish. Colour figures require special arrangements with the Editor(s) as additional

charges will apply.

Figures should be provided in .eps or .tif format (minimum 300 dpi, preferably 600 dpi).
