Below are some specifics:
-
The entire document must be double spaced.
-
Do not use a separate sheet for the title page, the title
and byline should be placed at the top of the first page of
the text. Please include your school affiliation.
-
Do not begin with "introduction" as a section
head. Subsequent section headings should be given Roman
numerals (I. LITERATURE REVIEW, II. THEORY, etc.);
subsections should be lettered A., B., etc.
-
References should follow the CHICAGO STYLE; this section
should be labeled REFERENCES.
-
Endnotes must be single-spaced on a separate page from the
text and placed at the end of the manuscript. Label this
section ENDNOTES.
-
Mathematical equations should be typed on separate lines
and numbered consecutively at the left margin, using Arabic
numbers in parentheses (ex: (1), (2)). Variable names
should be in CAPS and italicized (ex: Y=f(INCOME, AGE, or
"The variable AGE is insignificantly different from
zero.")
-
Subscripts and Superscripts must be easily distinguished
from regular variables and from each other. Multiple
subscripts or superscripts are separated with commas if
there is no mathematical relationship. Use only two levels
of sub- and superscripts.
-
Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic
numbers. Please maintain a 1-inch margin at sides, top, and
bottom of each page. Do not use any shading. Do not send
reduced photocopies of tables.
-
Do not abbreviate in column headings, etc. Spell out
"percent"; do not use the percent sign. Place a
zero in front of the decimal point in all decimal fractions
(i.e., 0.357, not .357), and should be limited to 3 DECIMAL
PLACES.
-
Figures should be large enough to be readable when the
figure is reduced. Do not put borders around the outside of
the Figure. Figure title should be placed below the
figure.
-
Use of appendices: Authors are encouraged to use an
Appendix for technical proofs and/or data that can be
separated from the main text. The Appendix should begin on
a new page following the text, preceding the references.
Designate multiple Appendices A, B, C, as necessary. Number
equations, theorems, propositions, etc., within the
Appendix as (A1), etc.
-
Avoid overcapitalization and excessive underlining or
italics for emphasis. Use quotation marks only for the
first occurrence of terms with special meaning.
