The present file shows a print sample of the camera-ready manuscript for International Journal of Erosion
Control Engineering, IJECE. Its text describes instructions to prepare the manuscripts: the layout; the fontstyles and sizes; and others. If you replace the text or the figures in the present file by your own ones, using
CUT & PASTE procedures, you can easily make your own manuscripts. The editorial committee requests
the authors to read the instructions carefully. The manuscripts are should not exceed 30 pages. Font used hereis Times-Roman 10pt. The abstract should be a maximum of 250 words.
Key words: sabo, erosion control, engineering, international journal

Abstract: Times-Roman, 10pt, min. 7 lines, amaximum of 250 words.
(1 line spacing)Affiliations are cited by superscripts as shown in
the above example.
Key words: Times-Roman, 10pt, less than 5 words

1. LAYOUT & LENGTH
Use A4 sheet with right and left margins of 20 mm,
top and bottom margins of 25 mm so that the text will
fit in a box 170 mm wide by 235 mm high.
It is desirable that the number of pages is less than30 pages.

2.2 Layout and fonts of the main text
Leave approximately 1cm blank space between
the abstract and the main text. The main text must be
in double columns, which have 2cm side margins,
and about 6mm space between the two columns. Use
11pt Times-Roman font for the main text.

2. TITLE PAGE
The first page consists of two parts.
(a) Front matter (title, authors, affiliations, abstract):in single column.
(b) Main text: in double columns.

3. ORDINARY PAGES

2.1 Layout and fonts of the front matter
The left and right margins of the front matter are20 mm, respectively. In other words, the width of thefront matter is with that of the main text.
The front matter should be placed vertically inthe following order:(About 3cm blank space from the top of A4 sheet)
Title: Times-Roman, 18pt, bold.
(About 1.5cm blank space)
Authors: Times-Roman, 12pt.
(About 0.5cm blank space)
Affiliations: Times-Roman, 9pt.
(About 1.0cm blank space)

The ordinary pages, starting from the second
page, contain the main text with 19mm top margin.
The other layout is same as the main text in the titlepage.
3.1 Footnotes and remarks
Avoid footnotes or remarks. Try to explain in themain text, or in Appendices.

the first level headings, and insert one blank line
before the text.
4.2 The second level headings
The second level headings, in 11pt, bold face
fonts. Leave one blank line only before the heading.
4.2.1 The third level headings
Insert no blank line before or after the headings.
The further lower level headings should be avoided.

6. FIGURES AND TABLES
Boundary of the two images

6.1 Location of figures and tables
In general, figures or tables should be placed in
the upper position on the same page where they arereferred to for the first time. Do not place themaltogether at the end of manuscripts.
When figures and tables are referred in the text
as part of a sentence, use “Fig. 1” and “Table 1”,
except at the beginning of a sentence. At thebeginning of a sentence, use them withoutabbreviation like “Figure 1 is ...”.
Figures or tables should occupy the whole widthof a column, as shown in Table 1 or Fig. 1, 2 in thepresent example, or the whole width over twocolumns. Do not place any text besides figures ortables. Insert approximately one line spacing above
the main text.

be indented like this.

6.2 Fonts and captions
Be aware not to use too small characters in figures
and tables. At least their character sizes should belarger than 9pt, which are the size of captions.
Captions should be centered, but long captions must
be indented like an example of Table 1. The headingof captions is 9pt bold face.

4.1 Heading level
Use at most three levels of headings whichcorrespond to chapters, sections and subsections.
The first level headings for chapter titles should be in
12pt bold face fonts and preceded by the chapter
number as 2. Leave more than one blank line before
