Abstract
This template is designed to assist authors in producing a document consistent with the requirements of the GPPS. Abstracts should not contain citations.
INTRODUCTION
Please use this template for the preparation of your paper. If you wish to use the list of styles, please note that it is extensive but not necessarily complete.
If you have any suggestions for improvements, please contact the GPPS.
METHODOLOGY
Please follow the format above for the Title, header, paper number, author info, etc.
Page Layout
The page size is A4. The margins are 13mm left and right, 25mm top and bottom.
The first part of the paper is set out as above. The remainder of the paper should be in two columns. Each of the two columns is 87mm wide.
Paper Length
A good paper is a concise paper. For this reason, the GPPS asks authors to submit papers of 8 pages or less. Longer papers may be accepted at the discretion of the Review Chair and/or Editor.
Language
Manuscripts must be written in clear English. Both US and UK spellings are acceptable, but should be consistent throughout the manuscript.
Articles should be thoroughly checked and proofread before submission. Authors may consult the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition, for specific guidance on grammar, spelling, punctuation etc.
Articles with serious language issues may be rejected without peer review; authors who are not fluent English speakers are encouraged to use professional editing services before submission.
Headings and Text
Please use the heading styles (GPPS Heading 1, GPPS Heading 2, GPPS Heading 3) for the headings.
The body of the text (GPPS Body Text Indent style) is 10 pt, Times Roman with exactly 12 pt line spacing. No text should be smaller than 7 pt.
Footnotes
Please do not use footnotes
Nomenclature
SI units should be used, although other units can be acceptable if widely used in a specific field.
Nomenclatures should follow established practices and recommendations from authoritative bodies and committees.
Abbreviations
Abbreviations should be defined when first mentioned, unless they are well known in the field and unambiguous.
Equations
Equations should be set apart from the body of the text and centred. Please use the GPPS Equation style.
. (1)
Please number the equations consecutively
Figures
This includes photographs, graphs, and line drawings. Please number these consecutively.
Please insert all figures In Line with Text.
The style GPPS Figure Caption is available to use for figures and captions.
Figure 1 Cross Section of Facility
Please ensure that all text on the figure is readable. Standard text should be approximately 10 pt when reduced to fit the document. No text should be smaller than 7 pt.
Please centre all figures in the column.
Tables
The style GPPS Table Caption is available to use for captions.
Please number the tables consecutively.
Please ensure that all text in the table is readable. Standard text should be 10 pt. No text should be smaller than 7 pt.
Please centre all tables in the column.
References
The GPPS uses the Harvard (author(s), year) reference style. All references should be cited in the text and listed in the references section in alphabetical order of citation. Unpublished work and personal communications should not be used as references.
In-text citations
References should be cited in the text using the names of the authors and year of publication in brackets, e.g. (Smith, 2015).
If a reference has more than two authors, give only the first author’s surname, followed by “et al.”
If several references with the same authors and the same year of publications are cited, they should be differentiated with letters (Smith and Duncan, 2010a; Smith and Duncan, 2010b).
Order multiple references cited together chronologically and separate them with semicolons.
Reference section
The reference section should be ordered alphabetically using the formats below.
Alphabetical sequencing is determined by the first author’s last name (including particles such as “de,” “van” etc.) and, if necessary, by the first author’s initial, then, letter-by-letter, by the following authors’ names, and finally by year of publication.
If no authors are present (not even an organisation that serves as author), the reference should be ordered by its title with articles “a,” “an” and “the” dropped.
