1.1. Structure

Files must be in MS Word only and should be formatted for direct printing, using the CRC MS Word provided.
Figures and tables should be embedded and not supplied separately.
Please make sure that you use as much as possible normal fonts in your documents. Special fonts, such as fonts
used in the Far East (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc.) may cause problems during processing. To avoid unnecessary
errors you are strongly advised to use the ‘spellchecker’ function of MS Word. Follow this order when typing
manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text (including figures and tables),
Acknowledgements, References, Appendix. Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article
and do not include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise.
Bulleted lists may be included and should look like this:

 First point
 Second point
 And so on

Ensure that you return to the ‘Els-body-text’ style, the style that you will mainly be using for large blocks of text,
when you have completed your bulleted list.
Please do not alter the formatting and style layouts which have been set up in this template document. As
indicated in the template, papers should be prepared in single column format suitable for direct printing onto paper
with trim size 192 x 262 mm. Do not number pages on the front, as page numbers will be added separately for the
preprints and the Proceedings. Leave a line clear between paragraphs. All the required style templates are provided
in the file “MS Word Template” with the appropriate name supplied, e.g. choose 1. Els1st-order-head for your first
order heading text, els-abstract-text for the abstract text etc.

1.2. Tables

All tables should be numbered with Arabic numerals. Every table should have a caption. Headings should be
placed above tables, left justified. Only horizontal lines should be used within a table, to distinguish the column
headings from the body of the table, and immediately above and below the table. Tables must be embedded into the
text and not supplied separately. Below is an example which the authors may find useful.

Table 1.An example of a table.

An example of a column heading Column A (t) Column B (t)
And an entry 1 2
And another entry 3 4
And another entry 5 6

1.3. Construction of references

References must be listed at the end of the paper. Do not begin them on a new page unless this is absolutely
necessary. Authors should ensure that every reference in the text appears in the list of references and vice versa.
Indicate references by (Van der Geer, Hanraads, & Lupton, 2000) or (Strunk& White, 1979)in the text.
Some examples of how your references should be listed are given at the end of this template in the ‘References’
section, which will allow you to assemble your reference list according to the correct format and font size.
 Author name / Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 00 (2015) 000–000 3
1.4. Section headings

Section headings should be left justified, bold, with the first letter capitalized and numbered consecutively,
starting with the Introduction. Sub-section headings should be in capital and lower-case italic letters, numbered 1.1,
1.2, etc, and left justified, with second and subsequent lines indented. All headings should have a minimum of three
text lines after them before a page or column break. Ensure the text area is not blank except for the last page.

1.5. General guidelines for the preparation of your text

Avoid hyphenation at the end of a line. Symbols denoting vectors and matrices should be indicated in bold type.
Scalar variable names should normally be expressed using italics. Weights and measures should be expressed in SI
units. All non-standard abbreviations or symbols must be defined when first mentioned, or a glossary provided.

1.6. File naming and delivery

Please title your files in this order ‘procediaacronym_conferenceacronym_authorslastname’. Submit both the
source file and the PDF to the Guest Editor.
Artwork filenames should comply with the syntax “aabbbbbb.ccc”, where:
 a = artwork component type
 b = manuscript reference code
 c = standard file extension
Component types:
 gr = figure
 pl = plate
 sc = scheme
 fx = fixed graphic

1.7. Footnotes

Footnotes should be avoided if possible. Necessary footnotes should be denoted in the text by consecutive
superscript letters1. The footnotes should be typed single spaced, and in smaller type size (8 pt), at the foot of the
page in which they are mentioned, and separated from the main text by a one line space extending at the foot of the
column. The Els-footnote style is available in the MS Word for the text of the footnote.
Please do not change the margins of the template as this can result in the footnote falling outside printing range.

2. Illustrations

All figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals (1,2,3,….). Every figure should have a caption. All
photographs, schemas, graphs and diagrams are to be referred to as figures. Line drawings should be good quality
scans or true electronic output. Low-quality scans are not acceptable. Figures must be embedded into the text and
not supplied separately. In MS word input the figures must be properly coded. Preferred format of figures are PNG,
JPEG, GIF etc. Lettering and symbols should be clearly defined either in the caption or in a legend provided as part
of the figure. Figures should be placed at the top or bottom of a page wherever possible, as close as possible to the
first reference to them in the paper. Please ensure that all the figures are of 300 DPI resolutions as this will facilitate
good output.

The figure number and caption should be typed below the illustration in 8 pt and left justified [ Note: one-line
captions of length less than column width (or full typesetting width or oblong) centered]. For more guidelines and
information to help you submit high quality artwork please visit: http://www.elsevier.com/artworkinstructions
Artwork has no text along the side of it in the main body of the text. However, if two images fit next to each other,
these may be placed next to each other to save space. For example, see Fig. 1.

Fig. 1. (a) first picture; (b) second picture.

3. Equations

Equations and formulae should be typed in Mathtype, and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals in
parentheses on the right hand side of the page (if referred to explicitly in the text). They should also be separated
from the surrounding text by one space.

⃗E
ρ=
⃗E m
(( )
J C (T =const . )⋅ P⋅
EC
+ ( 1−P )
) (1)

no numbers. Text below continues as normal.

Appendix A. An example appendix

Authors including an appendix section should do so before References section. Multiple appendices should all
have headings in the style used above. They will automatically be ordered A, B, C etc.
