Document layout
¥
The document should be set up with 2cm margins, on single A4 pages. IE: no
header or footer, no gutter, no odd/even format, no special first page, no page
numbering
¥
Commence the paper with an updated abstract titled "Abstract". This
should be as close as possible to 200 words, (on top of the paper word limit).
The abstract may be printed separately to the papers so please do not integrate
the abstract into your introduction.
¥
Use no styles or hierarchical headings, only use 'normal style' and make this
12 point Times, with 1.5 line spacing. Make paragraph breaks with two returns.
Do not use indents, tabs, or 'space before/after' for paragraphs
¥
Quotes longer than 3 lines should be 'blocked' by indenting them by 1cm on the
left margin only.
¥
Use italic for bibliographic references or foreign language terms only. Do not
use bold, or underlining or vary the font size
Footnotes
¥
The notes system used will be endnotes rather than footnotes. Use the Footnote
function in Word and set it to 'endnotes', with an Arabic numbering from 1. Do
not use Bibliographic software such as Endnote to format your citations.
Endnote will leave in control characters, which could make layout
difficult
¥
The Citation Style is that used by the SAHANZ Journal Fabrications.
