Abstract: These are the guidelines for authors to publish in the Journal of Urban and
Environmental Engineering (JUEE). The aim of JUEE is to publish papers which are
clear, concise and uniformly presented, in a style readily understood by an international
readership. Microsoft Word is the preferred word processing format. In brief: (a) write
in English; (b) present the material simply and concisely, in particular cross-check
details of references; (c) use 11 pt Times New Roman font (also in Equation Editor 3.0)
and set the paper size to A4 (21 × 29.7 cm); (d) include tables and figures at appropriate
points in the text; plan their layout to use page space economically and ensure all
figures and tables are cited in the text, in numerical order; (e) check that all the figures
and tables are clearly legible; (f) embed graphics for all figures, saved in the word
processed file (e.g. Word); make sure only standard fonts are used in graphics files; if
non-standard fonts are used they must be embedded; (g) the papers may not exceed 20
printed pages; (h) access the JUEE’s page at www.journal-uee.org to submit the paper;
(i) PDF files are suitable for the peer-review process; however, for accepted papers, the
word processor files (preferably Word/RTF) will be required by JUEE for production.
Before sending your paper to JUEE, please note the detailed instructions in this sample.
Note also that the length of the abstract is free; however, the cover page must be within
one page and the Introduction must start on the second page. The submissions are free
of charge.

Units
Use SI units or SI derived
units. Do not abbreviate
week, month or year,
which are non SI units.
Use s, min, h and d (rather
than sec, mins, hr/hrs,
day/days) for second,
minute, hour and day,
respectively. Use L (rather
than l) for liter; use hm3
(rather than Mm3, which
means 1018 m3) for
millions of cubic meters.
Multiplication of units
should be indicated by a
space, e.g. N m, and
division by use of solidus
(e.g. m/s2); however
repeated use of the solidus
(e.g. m/s/s) is not
permitted. Prefixes of
units such as M (mega =
106) and  (micro = 10-6)
have no space between
(e.g. s, MW). Note that
any power to a unit applies
also to the prefix. Note
also that the prefix kilo is
lower case k (e.g. km, not
Km – the upper case K is
the symbol of kelvin). All
units should be typeset
using upright (Roman)
fonts, not italic or bold.

FIGURES AND TABLES
Location of figures and tables
Figures, tables and photographs should be inserted at
the upper or lower part of the page where reference is
first made to them. Do not place them altogether at the
end of the manuscript. Then, all diagrams and
photographs should be referred to as figures and
numbered serially in the order they are mentioned in the
text. If reference is made to separate parts of a figure,
label these (a), (b), (c), etc.
Figures or tables should occupy the whole width of a
column, as shown in Table 1 or Fig. 2 in this example,
or the whole width over two columns as in Table 2. Do
not place any text besides figures or tables. Insert about
one to two lines spacing above the main text.
Generate rows and columns of tables using the
features of your word processor; avoid the use of text
separated by tabs, or graphics of tables. Put short
explanatory caption above each table and, if necessary,
an explanation/legend below it, as shown in Table 2.
Fonts and captions
Do not use too small characters in figures and tables. At
least, the letters should be larger than 8 pt. Captions
should be centered, but long captions must be indented
like an example of Table 1. The heading of captions is
9pt bold face. Each caption should be a brief but
complete description of the figure it refers to. To avoid
lengthy captions, include legends and appropriate
labeling on the figures themselves.
CITATION AND REFERENCE LIST
The reference list must be summarized at the end of
the main text. Use 9pt font for the list. You should
indicate a reference to someone else’s work in the text
by inserting the author’s surname and date in brackets.
For example, for single authors, use the form: “…Santos
(2002)”, for two authors: “… (Lopes & Savic, 2004)
…”; and for three or more:, “Suzuki et al. (2006)
showed…” The full details of all cited text must be
listed at the end of the text and all entries in the
reference list must be cited in the text. Examples for
Journal (first and second examples), Book (third and
fourth examples), Edited Book (fifth example), Report
(sixth example), Thesis (seventh example) and doi
(eighth example) are given in the References.
In this manuscript sample, the references are not
listed in the alphabetical order because they are grouped
by examples; however they must be listed in
alphabetical order in the manuscript.
Other common abbreviations used in references are:
vol., ed. (edited), edn (edition), PhD, MSc, Proc.
(Proceedings of the), Inst. (Institute), Instn (Institution),
Symp., Conf., and Tech. (Technical). For the examples
of journal abbreviation see Table 2.
Acknowledgment Acknowledgment should follow
Conclusions and its text should be preceded by lower
case bold face heading directly.
