Keywords: 3 – 5 keywords, space before paragraph 6 p, font TNR 12, justified. Words „summary” and „keywords” bolded, indent paragraph 1.0 cm left and right.

1. Paper size, margins and formatting (font TNR 14, bold, space before paragraph 42 p., after 30 p.)

It is suggested to authors to use the example of this file to construct their papers. The number of pages of the paper should be from 5 to 20. Paper size A4 (210 x 297 mm), margins:- top: 2.5 cm, bottom: 2.5 cm,- left: 2.5 cm, right: 2.5 cm.Header 1.25 cm, footer 1.25 cm.All text paragraphs should be written in TNR 12, with first line indent 0.63 cm, spacing 1.3, fully justified, without hyphenation. Text lines should not be adjusted by using the space bar.

It is expected that authors will submit carefully written and proofread material. Checking for spelling and grammatical errors should be performed. Manuscripts should be prepared in Microsoft Word format *.DOC or *.DOCX (MS Office 1997 – 2019) accompanied by “*.PDF” copy of the readymade manuscript.

2. Tables and figures

2.1. Subchapter (font TNR 12, bold, space after paragraph 12 p.)

Text in tables should be written with TNR 12, single spacing. Dividing of tables between pages should be avoided. If necessary then the second part of a table should be marked with a phrase “Cont. Table x”. Vertical orientation of tables on a page is preferred. Titles of columns and contents of cells should be centered. Table headings and titles of columns should be written with TNR 12 single spacing (1.0). Tables and figures should be numbered continuously along the whole paper. Table numbers should be placed on the right with 1 cm indent, leaving an empty line between table number and the text.

LNo. Title (First letter capital)title (first letter small) title (first letter small)

First letter

capitalSource: own study (font TNR 10, italic).

Table headings must be centered, written in TNR 12, not exceeding the width of the table, leaving a 6 p. space after the title.

Source of data should be given below the table. Tables should prepared using MS Word table formatting tool, not as figures.

2.2. Figures (font TNR 12, bold, space before paragraph 30 p., after paragraph 12 p.)

All embedded objects as: graphs, drawings and pictures shall be centered. Graphic objects composed of more elements should be grouped. All objects except maps must not be framed.

Tables and figures should be inserted in the text after their citation. It is recommended to number them from 1. Figure captions and table headings should be sufficient to explain the figure or table without needing to refer to the text. Figures and tables not cited in the text should not be presented. The visibility of embedded objects cannot depend on the graphic software installed on a computer – avoid “OLE” type of objects (i.e. *.EMF export graphic file shall be inserted into MS Word main file instead of *CDR Corel Draw graphic file). Vector graphics is preferred, however high-resolution raster graphic files are also acceptable. Please use colors for enhanced eligibility of figures in electronic version of the publication. Optima resolution for raster graphic files ids 300 pi.

Title of the paper up to 60 chars with spaces ended with ellipsis… 3

Figure captions should be centered below the figures as shown in Figure 1. Caption should be written with TNR 11, space before paragraph 30 p., single spacing (1.0). Source of the figure should be attached below in TNR 10 italic, centered. Please leave a distance of 1 cm below the bottom of the graphic and the caption.

3.3. Equations

Mathematical formulae should be denoted by numbers in circular brackets, printed on the right margin (in case of few formulae, they do not have to be denoted). Equations must be edited using MS Word equation editor, do not place formulaes as graphic files. Equations should be editable. For easier formatting, it's best to place the pattern in a table with invisible edges as on the example given below.

Please leave one empty line before and after mathematic formula.

Following math symbol sizes shall be used: Normal size: 12,

4 A. Smith, B. Jones & C. Moore

Upper/lower index: 7, Upper/lower sub-indexy: 5, Symbol: 18, Sub-symbol: 12.When referring to the numbering of formulas in the text, the same markings should be

used as for the formulas, Continuous numbering of formulas through the whole text should be kept.

3.3.1. Subchapter section (TNR 12 italic, space after and before paragraph 12 p.

If necessary, a third level of text division may be used, however, two-level division is preferred.

Acknowledgements (font TNR 14, bold, space before paragraph 42 p., after 30 p.)
