Article’s title

If English is not your first language, or you are not fluent in references, we urge you to send your paper to Scribendi (http://www.scribendi.com) or a similar proof-reader before submission.

Figures and Tables

Figure X Use style ‘X Caption’. Captions are placed under the pictures. If you need to reference the picture/image source, then do so. Preferably place/rearrange figure and caption to the top of the page. Acknowledge here your source.

After you insert a picture into the document, select it and use style named ‘X Picture’. Pictures are followed by a caption. The figures should be numbered Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. Reference to the pictures within the text should be as follows (fig. 1). Since the proceedings are going to be distributed electronically you are welcome to use colour pictures. However, ensure that these are in good enough resolution so that when these are printed they are legible.

Table 1 Rough suggestion for table layout. Captions for Tables are placed above it. Use style ‘X Table title’.
