How to Format the Page

Full-Size Camera-Ready Copy

Prepare Camera-Ready paper in full size format, on A4
size or 8 1/2” x 11”(21.5cm x 27.9 cm) paper.
The length of your paper should not exceed
eight(8) pages, including all figures and tables.
B.

Fonts

The best results will be obtained if your computer wordprocessor has several font sizes. Try to follow the fontsizes specified in Table I as much as possible. As an aid
to gauging font size, 1 point is about 0.35mm. Use a proportional, serif font such as Times or Dutch Roman. Anypaper using a font smaller than 9 pt or larger than 10 pt
for main text will not being included in the proceedings.

In formatting your A4-size paper, set top margin
to 29mm (1.14 inches), bottom margin to 30mm (1.18inches), left and right margins to 15mm (0.59 inches) If
you are using paper 8 1/2” x 11”, set the top margin to17mm(0.67 inches), bottom margin to 24mm(0.94 inches),
the left to 18mm (0.71 inches) and right margins to 17mm
(0.67 inches). The column width is 88mm (3.46 inches)with 5mm (0.2 inches) space between the two columns.
Proceedings will be printed out on Letter-size
paper. Please keep these margins.
The column width is 88mm (3.46 inches) with 5mm (0.2inches) space between the two columns.
You should left- and right-justify your columns. On thelast page of your paper, try to adjust the lengths of thetwo columns so that they are the same. Use automatic
hyphenation if you have it and check spelling. Either
digitize or paste down your figures.

Helpful Hints

References

List and number all references at the end of the paper.
When referring to them in the text, type the corresponding reference number in the parentheses as shown at theend of this sentence [1]. Number the citations consecutively. The sentence punctuation follows the parentheses.
Do not use “Ref.[2]” or “reference[2]” except at the beginning of a sentence.
B.

Footnotes

Number the footnotes separately in superscripts. Placethe actual footnote at the bottom of the column in which
it is cited. Do not put footnotes in the reference list.
C.

Authors names

Give all authors’ names; do not use “et al” unless there
are six authors or more. Papers that have not been
published, even if they have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished”[3]. Papers thathave been accepted for publication should be cited as “inpress”[4]. Capitalize only the first word in a paper title,
except for proper nouns and element symbols.
For papers published in translation journals, please givethe English citation first, followed by the original foreign
language citations[5].
