1 GENERAL FORMATTING

1.1 Set paper size at A4 210 × 297 mm portrait, not: Letter 8.5×11", Legal 8.5×14", or any other. 1.2 Set all margins (top, left, right and bottom) equal to 30 mm. 1.3 Delete any existing tab settings, and set left-aligned tabs every 10 mm from the left margin. 1.4 Set decimal alignment character to “.” (full stop). 1.5 Set justification to full, to fill out both left and right margins. 1.6 Set “simple line spacing” for all text and titles, and set line height to automatic‟. 1.8 Set font/typeface to Garamond and set size to 10 point. If Garamond font is not available, please use Times New Roman (10 point) 1.9 Turn off headers, footers, watermarks, page numbering, and hyphenation. 1.10 STRICT PAGE LIMITS APPLY: 10 PAGES (INCLUDING TEXT, REFERENCES, TABLES, FIGURES, IN THAT PARTICULAR ORDER.

2 MANUSCRIPT TITLE, AUTHORS, AND AFFILIATIONS

2.1 Only the manuscript title, authors and affiliations appear centered between the printing margins. All other text is set to full justification. 2.2 The manuscript title appears CAPITALIZED in 12 point bold print. All other text throughout the entire manuscript is in 10 point. 2.3 Leave 1 blank line between title and authors. 2.4 Authors are listed together, if possible on one single line. 2.5 Leave 1 blank line between authors and affiliations. 2.6 Affiliations are grouped where possible to save space. 2.7 Provide one single e-mail address, only for the corresponding author. 2.8 Leave 1 blank line between subsequent affiliations, 2 blank lines after the last affiliation.

3 ABSTRACT

3.1 The title “Abstract” has 1 initial capital and appears left aligned in bold. 3.2 Text starts under the title and is strictly limited to 150 words. 3.3 The first line of each paragraph is left indented by 1 single tab.

3.4 Leave 1 blank line between the abstract and the main text (Introduction).

4 KEYWORDS

4.1 The word “KEYWORDS” appears flush with the left margin in bold print. 4.2 Provide up to 5 keywords; composite keywords are allowed. 4.3 Leave 2 blank lines after the keywords.

5 MAIN TEXT, TITLES AND LAY-OUT

5.1 Apply numbering to sections to maximum 2 levels deep, eg. “2 MATERIALS” (capitalized & bold face), “2.1 Sample origin and extraction” (bold face only). 5.2 Third and further level sections appear italicized but remain unnumbered, eg. “Petrographic assessment”. 5.3 Section titles are left aligned, have only 1 initial capital, only 1 tab between section number and title for the first 2 levels, no blank lines between subsequent titles. 5.4 Text starts directly under a section title (no blank line), all paragraphs (including the first) are left indented 1 single tab, no blank lines between subsequent paragraphs. 5.5 At the end of a section, leave 1 blank line before the next title/heading.

6 REFERENCES AND CITATIONS 6.1 The automatic cross-reference options provided by Word and WordPerfect are recommended. Alternatively, citation softwares like EndNote or RefWorks may be used. 6.2 In the text, literature referrals are sequentially numbered in order of first appearance, using square brackets eg. [1], or [2], or [3,4]. “Personal communications” are referred to as eg. Jones [pers.comm.]. The use of author names and publication year to obtain better text flow is allowed, but not obligatory. 6.3 Cross references in the text consist of only the reference number, like [1,4]. 6.4 Literature references are collated at the end of the main text body, listed in order of appearance. Always mention all authors (not “et al.”), full contribution titles, full journal titles, as in the examples below.

7 UNITS AND MEASURES, GREEK CHARACTERS, SPECIAL SYMBOLS

7.1 Use exclusively SI and/or metric units, not Imperial system units. 7.2 Use prefixes nano (n; 10-9), micro (μ; 10-6), milli (m; 1-9), kilo (k; 10+3), mega (M; 10+6), giga (G; 10+9), etc. Avoid prefixes like deca-, centi-, hecto-, etc. 7.3 Referring to the use of percent, specify whether this applies to weight (wt%), volume (vol%), or other. 7.4 For special symbols like Greek letters (eg. α, β, μ), degree E, multiplication ×, etc, use the standard character set provided by Word [Insert|Symbol] or WordPerfect [Ctrl+W].

8 MATHEMATICAL EQUATIONS AND FORMULAE

8.1 Equations appear in plain print (ie. not bold, not italicized) and are indented one single tab from the left margin. Use of a built-in formula editor may be required and is allowed. 8.2 Equations are separated from surrounding text by 1 blank line above and below. 8.3 Equations are numbered in parentheses flush right, like eg. (1) 8.4 Cross reference to equations appears like Equation 1, or Equations 1, 2 and 6.

9 TABLES

9.1 Tables are placed immediately after the references and are centered between the margins. See Table 1 on the next page for an example. 9.2 Sequentially numbered table Captions appear centered directly over the table. 9.3 All table cells are separated by a hairline, the whole table is bordered by a bold line. 9.4 In the main text, cross reference to tables appears like Table 1, or Tables 1, 2 and 6.

10 FIGURES

10.1 Figures are placed immediately after the tables and are centered between the margins. See Figure 1 for an example. 10.2 Captions appear immediately under the image. Figures and/or captions are NOT enclosed by a border (different from tables). 10.3 In the text, figures are referred to as Figure 1, or as Figures 1, 2 and 6. 10.4 Micrographs and similar shall have a scale bar of about half image width, and legible at final printed size. The default scale bar in some SEM images may have to be redrawn. 10.5 Artwork must be prepared as EPS, TIF or JPG images and submitted as separate files. 10.6 Pay proper attention to image resolution! For example, printed images 125 mm=~5" wide require in full color: 300 dpi resolution or at least 1,500 pixels wide; greytone: 500 dpi resolution or at least 2,500 pixels wide, B&W line drawings and data plots: minimum 1,000dpi resolution or at least 5,000 pixels wide.
