<, except where brackets have special significance.

5.3Lists

Provide single space list items with no extra space between the lines. Mark each item with a solid bullet ‘’ or with an Arabic numeral followed by a full stop, e.g., 1. 2. 3. and so on. Be consistent in marking list items.

Refer to Section 5.1 for an example of a bulleted list. Following is an example of a numbered list:

1. For complete or near complete sentences, begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop.

2. For short phrases, start with lower case letters and end with semicolons.

3. Do not capitalize or punctuate single items.

4. Use a colon to introduce the list.

6Figures and tables

To insert a new figure of table please copy an existing figure or table as well as the table containing this figure or table. This way you make sure the numbering of your figures and tables is correct and you’ll prevent captions from getting separated from the figure or table.

6.1General appearance

Make sure that all figures, tables, graphs and line drawings are clear and sharp and of the highest quality. Lines should be thick enough to allow proper reproduction. Also in figures: use embedded arial font type only.

Diagrams, graphics and photographs should be in gray scale (no colours!) of excellent quality with good contrast. When preparing figures and tables, make sure that all lettering inside the figure is not smaller than the specified size of the paper text, i.e., 9 point.

6.2Numbering, captions and positioning

Number figures and tables consecutively, e.g., Figure 1, Figure 2; Table 1, Table 2. Use (a), (b), (c) to distinguish individual subjects in a composite figure. See Figures 1 and 2 for examples of figure and caption placement. Refer to Table 1 for an example of a table centred across two columns. Each figure and table must have a caption. Captions should be centred at the foot of the figure and at the top of the table and typed in the same 9 point font used in the paper. Begin the caption with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Always refer to figures as ‘Figure’ and not Fig. Leave 6 point spacing between figure and caption. Place the figure or table on the text page as close to the relevant citation as possible, ideally at the top or bottom of a column. If a figure or table is too large to fit into one column, it can be centred across both columns at the top or bottom of the page. Make sure that it does not extend into the page margins. Do not use vertical lines within the table; use horizontal lines to separate headings from table entries and to close the table.

Do not wrap the text around the figures and do not put any frame around the figures.
