ABSTRACT (11Bold)
The abstract should summarize the content of the paper. Try to keep the abstract below 200 words. Do not make
references nor display equations in the abstract. The journal will be printed from the same-sized copy prepared by
you. Your manuscript should be printed on A4 paper (21.0 cm x 29.7 cm). It is imperative that the margins and style
described below be adhered to carefully. This will enable us to keep uniformity in the final printed copies of the
Journal. Please keep in mind that the manuscript you prepare will be photographed and printed as it is received.
Readability of copy is of paramount importance. (10 Italic Times New Roman)
Keywords (11Bold Italic) : About five key words in alphabetical order, separated by comma (10, Times New Roman
Italic)

I INTRODUCTION (11, TIMES NEW ROMAN, BOLD)


The introduction of the paper should explain the nature of the problem, previous work, purpose, and the contribution
of the paper. The contents of each section may be provided to understand easily about the paper. (10)

II. HEADINGS(11, TIMES NEW ROMAN, BOLD)


The headings and subheadings, starting with "1. Introduction", appear in upper and lower case letters and should be
set in bold and aligned flush left. All headings from the Introduction to Acknowledgements are numbered
sequentially using 1, 2, 3, etc. Subheadings are numbered 1.1, 1.2, etc. If a subsection must be further divided, the
numbers 1.1.1, 1.1.2, etc. The font size for heading is 11 points bold face and subsections with 10 points and not
bold. Do not underline any of the headings, or add dashes, colons, etc. (10)
III. INDENTATIONS AND EQUATIONS (11 , TIMES NEW ROMAN,BOLD)
The first paragraph under each heading or subheading should be flush left, and subsequent paragraphs should have a
five-space indentation. A colon is inserted before an equation is presented, but there is no punctuation following the
equation. All equations are numbered and referred to in the text solely by a number enclosed in a round bracket (i.e.,
(3) reads as "equation 3"). Ensure that any miscellaneous numbering system you use in your paper cannot be
confused with a reference [4] or an equation (3) designation. (10)
IV. FIGURES AND TABLES (11, TIMES NEW ROMAN, BOLD)

To ensure a high-quality product, diagrams and lettering MUST be either computer-drafted or drawn using India
ink. Figure captions appear below the figure, are flush left, and are in lower case letters. When referring to a figure
in the body of the text, the abbreviation "Fig." is used. Figures should be numbered in the order they appear in the
text. Table captions appear centered above the table in upper and lower case letters. When referring to a table in the
text, no abbreviation is used and "Table" is capitalized. (10)
V. CONCLUSION (11 , TIMES NEW ROMAN,BOLD)
A conclusion section must be included and should indicate clearly the advantages, limitations, and possible
applications of the paper. Although a conclusion may review the main points of the paper, do not replicate the
abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest applications and
extensions. (10, Times New Roman)
REFERENCES (11, TIMES NEW ROMAN, BOLD) This heading is not assigned a number. A reference
list MUST be included using the following information as a guide. Only cited text references are included. Each

numbered and ordered according to where they are first mentioned in the paper, NOT alphabetically.
