                1.  ALL HEADINGS MUST BE IN CAPS (CENTERED; FONT SIZE 11; 2 SPACES AFTER 1.)

Text runs on the next line (font size 11). All justified; numbers to be included if supplied; no indent below. All paragraphs are indented (0.5 points) except for the first paragraph of each section. This first paragraph, for instance, is not indented.

This second paragraph, however, is indented at 0.5 points. All subsequent paragraphs in the same section will be indented in the same way. Please note again: There should be only one space after a period, colon, or semi-colon, and there should be no space before each of them (except for headings, sub-headings, and URL addresses for online references).

1.1  ALL SUB-HEADINGS MUST BE IN CAPS (CENTERED; FONT SIZE 10; 2 SPACES AFTER 1.1)

The same rule applies to a sub-section: Text runs on the next line (font size 11). All justified; numbers to be included if supplied; no indent below. All paragraphs are indented (0.5 points) except for the first paragraph of each sub-section. This first paragraph, for instance, is not indented.

This second paragraph, however, is indented at 0.5 points. All subsequent paragraphs in the same sub-section will be indented in the same way. Please note again: There should be only one space after a period, colon, or semi-colon, and there should be no space before each of them (except for headings, sub-headings, and URL addresses for online references).

This second paragraph, however, is indented at 0.5 points. All subsequent paragraphs in the same sub-section will be indented in the same way.

                                                                           2.  TABLES

The text in the table should be in font size 10. Only horizontal borders (1/2 point lines) should be drawn to separate row headings or specific sections of the table.

Reference to the table in the text should only have an initial cap, for instance, Table 1 or (Table 1). The table heading itself should be in caps while the title of the table should be in title case in the next line, as in the following example:

                                                        TABLE 1 (centered; font size 11)

                                         Title in Title Case (Centered Above Table, Font Size 11)

Note: This is a note, font size 9. (ranged left under table)

                                                                               3.  FIGURES

Similar to tables, reference to the figure in the text should only have an initial cap, for instance, Figure 1 or (Figure 1). The Figure heading itself should be in caps while the title of the figure should be in title case in the next line, as in the following example:

                                                                              FIGURE 1

                                                                Example of a Figure Title

                                                   4.  ABBREVIATIONS AND ACRONYMS

Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after they have been defined in the abstract. Do not use abbreviations in the title or heads unless they are unavoidable.

                                                                      5.  EQUATIONS

Equations should be typed using Microsoft Equation. Number equations consecutively. Equation numbers, within parentheses, are to position flush left, as in (1), using a right tab stop. Italicize Roman symbols for quantities and variables, but not Greek symbols. Use a long dash rather than a hyphen for a minus sign. Punctuate equations with commas or periods when they are part of a sentence.

Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before or immediately following the equation. Use “(1)”, not “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1)”, except at the beginning of a sentence: “Equation (1) is . . .” Use a zero before decimal points: “0.25”, not “.25”.

                                                         6.  TRANSLITERATIONS

The transliteration for Arabic words (if any) needs to follow the exact spelling of the words in Arabic and conform to the Arabic Transliteration Guide provided.

                                                 7.  CITATION OF REFERENCES IN TEXT

The full citation should be provided in the References section at the end of the paper for every source/reference cited in the paper. The full citation should not be at the footnotes. Also delete references that are not actually cited in the paper.

Reference to materials should be in the ‘Author, date’ format in the text. Unless there are four authors or more, give all authors' names; do not use “et al.”. Papers that have not been published, even if they have been submitted for publication, should be cited as “unpublished”. Papers that have been accepted for publication should be cited as “in press”. For papers published in translation journals, please give the English citation first, followed by the original foreign-language citation.

                                                                     8.  OTHERS

Other formatting guides are as follows:

                                                  ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (A heading)

Goes before endnotes and references. The text is smaller (font size 10). Put sponsor acknowledgments in the unnumbered footnote on the first page.

                                                             ENDNOTES (A heading)

(centred, font size 11. All footnotes should be placed as Endnotes at the end of the text, before the References section.)

1. This is a note.

2. This is another note.

Text font size 10.

                                                                         REFERENCES

(The referencing style of the paper should strictly follow the style adopted by the journal (based on the Chicago Manual of Style).  Please refer to the IJEMA Reference Style. The list should be in alphabetical order. Please comply with the caps, sequence and punctuation marks in the examples.)
