ILLUSTRATIONS

Line Drawings - Ensure you supply a clear, well-drawn original - not a sketch or a photocopy. Line drawings must be positioned on the CRC, centred on the type width. Labelling should not be set smaller than 8pt

Halftones - If previously agreed, halftone illustrations (black and white photos) may be included in your CRC. Please supply high-contrast glossy prints (unscreened). Write your name and the figure number on a label on the back of each illustration, marking the top of the illustration with an arrow so it can be positioned correctly. Then leave the correct space on your CRC for it to be dropped in by the printer

Captions – Figures should be numbered. e.g. Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. followed by the title, e.g. Figure 1: The Organisational Chart. The caption should be positioned underneath the illustration and separated from it by one blank line. Captions may be set slightly smaller than the main text (i.e. 9pt). Similarly, for Tables, but with the caption above the Table, eg Table 1: Record of Defects. The Table and its caption shoulssd also be centered, and must also be within the text area of 118mm by 193mm.

Colour - Please note that colour can NOT be used anywhere in the paper

References

Please follow the reference style shown below and in the specimen page. References may be set slightly smaller than the main text (i.e. 9pt)

Bear in mind the following general points:

Text Citations

Number references consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the text. References cited only in a table or figure legend should be numbered as though they were cited in the first text cross reference to the relevant table or figure.

Identify references in the text, tables and figure legends by Arabic numerals in square brackets (e.g. "...as has been demonstrated recently [19]." )
