    Include an abstract of 250-300 words at the beginning. Indent the abstract 5 spaces on left and right sides and put in 10 point italics. Note that there is a double space between the title and the author and between the author and the abstract. For author information, only the university/organization is listed, not the department.

Keywords: Keyword 1, Keyword 2, Keyword 3

Start the introduction to the paper here with no heading. The first paragraph of any section, including the introduction, is not indented.

Major Heading (flush left, bold, upper and lower case text)

Major headings should be left justified and bold with line above and one line above and one line below the heading to separate it from the text. Note mixed case with major words capitalized. Do not space between paragraphs within a section.

Second Heading Level (flush left, italics. Upper and lower case text)
            The second heading level should be italicized with the major words capitalized. The paragraph is indented.

            Third Heading Level (indented left, italics, upper and lower case text ending with a period, with text immediately following heading). The third heading level should be indented, italicized and major words capitalized, within text emphasis should also be added with italics like this section.

Tables and Figures

It is very difficult to specify table formats exactly. Please follow the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA style), 5th edition. Figures should be professional in appearance. While we realize not everyone has access to graphics software, generally figures should not be hand drawn. A more complete instruction to author(s) can be accessed on these APA LINKS.

            Make the Table Auto fit to the Windows/contents from the Table menu of MSWord. A Table should not split into two pages.

Length of full paper

EIGHT PAGES (including tables and references) maximum, in A4 size paper, 10-point Times Roman font, with one inch margin around. Any extra page after the 8th page will not be printed in the proceedings.
