Electronic Text Preparation
  1. Text preparation

    2. The electronic text should be prepared in a way very similar to that of the conventional manuscripts (see below). The list of references, tables and figure captions should be compiled separately from the main text. Do not reserve space for the figures and tables in the text, instead, indicate their approximate locations, either directly in the electronic text or on the manuscript.

  2. Submission
    The final text should be submitted both in manuscript form and on diskette (standard 3.5    '' diskettes) or by email. It is essential that name and version of the word-processing programme is clearly indicated on the diskette label.
    It is recommended to store the main text, list of references, tables and figure captions in separate text files with clearly identifiable file names (for example, with extensions: TXT, DOC, REF, TBL, FIG).
    Illustrative material (original figures or high-quality glossy prints, or photographs showing a sharp contrast) should be included separately. Color figures are acceptable for electronic text edition    .
Manuscripts
  1. Manuscripts must be written in English. SI-Units should be used (kg, m, s).
  2. Submit the disk (3.5'' diskettes) and the original illustrations (figures, photographs, etc.). In addition, submit three printouts of your manuscript all with attached or inserted copies of illustrations (figures, photographs, etc.).
  3. Every page of the printed manuscript, including the title page, references, tables, etc., should be numbered. Avoid excessive use of Italics, capitals or bold type in the text.
  4. Manuscripts should be organized in the following order:
    • Title centered in 14 points font in capital
    • Name(s) of author(s) centered in 12 point font, capitals
    • Full affiliation(s) centered in 12 point font
    • Address for correspondence
    • Telephone, fax numbers and e-mail
