Structure

Abstract. The abstract should summarize the content of the paper. Try to keep the abstract below 200 words. Do not make references nor display equations in the abstract. Readability of copy is of paramount importance — the manuscript you prepare will be photographed and printed as received.

Introduction. The introduction of the paper should explain the nature of the problem, previous work, purpose, and the contribution of the paper.

Headings. The headings and subheadings, starting with "1. Introduction", appear in upper and lower case letters, set in bold and aligned flush left. All headings from the Introduction to Acknowledgements are numbered sequentially. Do not underline any of the headings, or add dashes, colons, etc.

In-text citations. In the case of summary or paraphrase, references should appear in brackets with the author's name, followed by the year (Robins, 2003), or (Robins and Domar, 2003).
