  • Submitted files should be in an OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF or WordPerfect format.
  • The text shall have 1.5 line spacing; 12 font size; italics are used instead of underlining (except for URLs); and every illustration, figure, and table shall be placed appropriately within the text, instead of at the end.
