3 Typographical Style and Layout

3.4 Citations and References
You should cite all the previously published work you use in your paper. We provide the template with an
example of the references list in the References section.
You have to cite each reference somewhere in the text. You will refer to a reference item using the square
brackets, like this [1]. The references should be sorted alphabetically.
3.5 Tables
Enumerate all the tables consecutively, using Arabic numbers. Place table headings above the table, using
the Caption style. As throughout the text, leave no blank lines between the caption and the table.
Centre the table along the column. The references to each table should appear in the paper (Tab. 1).

3.6 Equations
The equations should be centrally aligned to the column, and their numbers aligned to the right. This is
accomplished using tabulators. First tab aligns the cursor to the left, second to the centre of the column (where
the equation itself is written) and the third to the right, where you will give it the number. Equation numbers
start from 1 and continue consequently. Each equation should be cited in the text, like this (1).
y= x 2 z3

3.7 Figures
All figures should be centred. The text inside the figures must be clearly readable. Enumerate the figures
sequentially with the figure number and the title below the figure. Allowed formats for your figures are: TIFF,
JPG, BMP, and EPS with a minimum 300 dpi resolution.
Place the captions under the pictures. Leave no blank lines between the pictures and the captions. Here is
the reference to the sample figure (Fig. 1).
The figures should appear near the place in the text where you recall to them. However, you can place them
either before or after the certain paragraph.
