throughout with wide margins. The IBM diskette with Microsoft Word version

-
Tables and Figures should be numbered consecutively and placed on separate
sheets, with an indication in the text as to their appropriate placement.
-
The manuscript should begin with an abstract and keywords. The abstract

clearly the principal conclusion of the paper.
-
The paper should be subdivided into sections and subsections if necessary.
Main headings should designate major sections, side headings should designate
minor sections.

References must be listed alphabetically by the surname of the first author
followed by the year, title, journal name. Volume, pages for journal references;

All references should be indicated in the manuscript by the author’s surname
followed by the year of publication, e.g. (Hellwig 1968). Where the references
include three or more authors, the form (Hellwig et al. 1968) should be used.
-
Footnotes should be avoided. Parentheses should be used in their place.
-
No maximum length for the paper is prescribed; however authors should write
concisely.
