1. Introduction
Follow this order when typing manuscripts: Title,Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text
(Introduction, Method, Results and Discussions, and thenConclusion), Acknowledgment, Appendix, References.
Apart from the above example, a different structure ofmanuscript may be accepted if it is the most suitable andeffective style for the contents of the manuscript.
2. Text
2. 1. Page margins and font

17 and 15mm, respectively, and the column interval will be
to be 8mm. All letters should be written with Times Romanor Times New Roman font.

2. 2. 1. Title, subtitle, and name(s) of author(s)Title should be written with capital letter, 18 point size,
in single column and aligned in center. The first line of thetitle should be placed below the 35 mm top margin of thefirst page. Subtitle, if necessary, should be written withnormal letters, 12 point size, and should be centered in thesingle column. Name(s) of author(s) should be written in
the same way as the subtitle.
2. 2. 2. Affiliation(s), abstract, and keywords
Affiliation(s) and mailing address(es) should be writtenwith italic letters which are 9 point size, and should becentered in the single column. Abstract should be writtenwith normal letters which are 10 point size, and should bealigned with both left and right margins. The margins of thetop, bottom, left and right are 100, 150, 30 and 30 mm,respectively. Key words should be written with italic letterswhich are 10 point size and are aligned with the left margin.
The number of key words are limited from 3 to 5 words.
2. 3. Body text
All letters in the body text, except section andsubsection titles, should be written with normal letters, 10point size, in double column. Authors should makegenerous use of section and subsection titles, numberedconsecutively (1., 1.1., 1.2., 2., etc.), to enable the reader toJournal of the Science of Design Vol. xx No. x

readily identify portions of interest. The section andsubsection titles should be written with bold letters whichare 10 point size and should be aligned with the left side ofeach column. The titles and paragraphs in the body text
should be single-spaced. In the first page, the margins of thetop, bottom, left and right are 167, 25, 17, and 15 mm,respectively. In the following pages, the margins of the top,bottom, left and right are 20, 25, 17, and 15 mm,respectively.
3. Illustrations
Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred
to as “Figure(s)” and should be numbered consecutively inthe order to which they are referred. All figures are to havea caption with bold letters which are 9 point size (Figure 1).
They should accompany the manuscript, and should beadequately included within the text. They should keep theabove-mentioned margins. Authors will be additionallycharged at current printing costs for color illustrations.
4. Tables
Tables should be numbered consecutively and given a
suitable caption and should be adequately included within
the text. Tables should keep within the margins. Large
tables should be avoided. If there is a large volume of data
to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide theseover two or more tables. Each table should have a brief andself-explanatory title with bold letters which are 9 point size.
Column headings should be brief, but sufficientlyexplanatory. Vertical lines should not be used to separate
columns.
5. List of referencesReferences should be cited in the text by number withinsquare brackets and listed at the end of the paper in theorder in which they appear in the text. All references must
be complete and accurate. References should be listed in thefollowing style: Journal articles [1-4], Books [5],Conference papers [6, 7], Website [8], Reference of other2
