1. BODY OF PAPER
Main headings are Caps, Bold. Text must flow in two columns. The spacing of right/left/top margins for papers being prepared for IIFET 2000 should be .75 inch and bottom margin set to 1 inch. All text is 10pt Times Roman (Times New Roman), fully justified. Paper format should be 8½ x 11 inches (letter).
1.1. Introduction
Secondary headings are Upper and Lower Case, Bold.
The main purpose of an introduction is to enable the paper to be understood without undue reference to other sources. It should therefore have sufficient background material for this purpose. Generally, highly specialized papers will not need an extensive introduction as interested readers may be expected to be familiar with the current literature (journal article, trade publication, etc.) on the subject. On the other hand, when a paper is likely to interest people working in fields outside the immediate area of the paper, the introduction should contain background material, which could otherwise be scattered throughout the literature.
1.2 Figures
(1 space above figure)
Figure Captions: 10pt Times Roman, centered
Figure numbers and captions appear at the foot of the figures. If necessary, figures and captions may straddle both columns. Figures should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals, in order in which reference is made to them in the text, e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.
Photographs should only be used if essential to the clarity of the paper. If used they must be black and white with clear contrast and highly glossed.
1.3 Equations
Equations should be numbered consecutively as they appear in the text with Arabic numerals and should be referred to by their numbers only, e.g. (3). Equations must be typed not hand printed. One space should be left clear above and below each equation.
1.4 Conclusions and Recommendations
The real value of a paper is reflected in the nature, soundness and clarity of the conclusions, so particular care should be taken with this section.
1.5 Acknowledgements
Any particular assistance out of the ordinary may be acknowledged. It is not necessary from the organisers’ point of view to record the permission of the author’s organisation to publish the paper or the information contained therein.
