1 INTRODUCTION
The journal of JIMA English issue will be
published two times every year (in February andAugust). To achieve this, we ask that authors follow
the guidelines presented in this document.
In essence, we ask you to make your paper lookexactly like this document. The easiest way to do thisis simply to replace the content of this document withyour own material making sure that the format stays asit is.

2 LENGTH AND PAGE SIZE
The standard is six pages in length, including
figures, tables and references.
Papers should be formatted in a two-column format
on A4 size paper (210 x 297 mm). Top and bottommargins should be 30 mm. Side margins should be 18mm. The width of each column should be 83.5 mm
with a spacing of 7 mm between columns. Linespacing should be single.

3 TYPESET TEXT
3.1 Body of the Paper
For the body of the paper, use a 10-point Times
New Roman font, or other Roman font with serifs as
close as possible in appearance to Times New Roman.
3.2 Title

capitalized 16-point Times New Roman font andcentered as shown above.
3.3 Authors’ Names
Authors’ names should be in 10-point Times New
Roman font and be centered.
3.4 Authors’ Affiliations
The authors' affiliation is shown in the footer. If an
author has the same affiliations of another author add
a same number, for example, in this sample file.
Footers should be in 8-point Times New Roman font.
3.5 Headings
Headings in the main body of the paper should benumbered and on the left side. Subheading should benumbered according to the title they follow.
3.6 Figures and Tables
Figures and Tables should be inserted at theappropriate point in your text. Figures and Tables may
extend over the two columns up to 174 mm ifnecessary. Each figure should have a figure caption at
the bottom of the figure in Times New Roman font.
Both the figure and its caption should be centered. The
caption of a table should appear at the top of the tablein Times New Roman font.
All figures should be sequentially numbered as“Fig. 1” through your text (See an example in theThe title of the paper should be in bold and†1

the same manner.

4.5 Balance of Last Page

4 FORMAT OF MAIN BODY

Two columns on the last page should be balanced
as shown in this page.

4.1 Footnotes

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Footnotes appear as superscripts.1
4.2 Citations
References should appear in the text as numbers inbrackets, such as [1] or [1], [2] and be listed at the endof the article according to the sequence they appear in
the text. References should be in 10-point Times New
Roman font. Examples of citations for books,
conference proceedings and journal papers are givenin this page.
4.3 List
You can use numbered or unnumbered lists asfollows.
4.3.1 List Example 1l First Iteml Second Item
4.3.2 List Example 2(1) First Item
(2) Second Item
4.4 Formula
A formula should be aligned on the left, a fixed
distance from the left margin, instead of being
centered. A formula number is put on the right side.
See the following example:(By Microsoft Equation 3.0 (before Office2016))

y = a1 f (x1 ) + a2 f (x2 ) + ε(1)

Margins: top/under 8pt, left 6mm, right 3mm (right ofequation number)(By Equation Editor (independent format)
𝑦 = 𝑎! 𝑓(𝑥! ) + 𝑎" 𝑓(𝑥" ) + 𝜀(1)
Margins: top/under 8pt, left 6mm, right 3mm (right ofequation number)
Margins: top 8pt, equation number describe to the nextline (3mm margin at right of equation number),equation is described to the center in the column.
