Figures and tables should be embedded and not supplied separately. Tables and figures have to be numbered and references to them must be included in the text. Please pay attention to the alignment of tables and figures in the text.
Tables have to be centered, numbered continuously, and referenced in the text. Please, use caption format as given in the template. Feel free to use cross-referencing feature of your typewriting software. Tables should not be wider than the margins of the paper. Leave an empty line before and after each table.
Lines in the table should be single, standard thickness, minimum number of horizontal lines is taking out 3. There are no verticals (see the example). Numbers put in the table should be in the alignment formats, i.e. with the same number of decimal places (the maximum number of decimal places is taking out 4).
All figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals. Every figure should have a caption. All photographs, schemas, graphs and diagrams are to be referred to as figures. Line drawings should be true electronic output. Figures must be embedded into the text without borders and not supplied separately. In MS Word input the figures must be properly coded. 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. 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. Figures should be high-quality graphics vector drawings. Size: max 12.4 cm x 16 cm.
