Page Numbers. Do not number your paper.

Tables 8 pt. (Use the Microsoft Word template style: “ams figure and table caption”)

Tables (refer with: Table 1, Table 2, ...) should be presented as part of the text, but in such a way as to avoid confusion with the text. A descriptive title should be placed above each table. Units in tables should be given in square brackets [meV].

Figures. (Use the Microsoft Word template style: “ams figure and table caption”)

Save your original figures, photographs, maps, large schemes to separate graphics files (PNG graphics format is preferred; JPG is also is also acceptable). Illustrations must be of high quality. Black-and-white photographs should be sharp and contrast, and their reduction minimally to one half of original size can be desirable. A reference to each illustration should be made in the text. Each illustration should be identified by its number and the name(s) of author(s) or its corresponding reference source. Captions of the illustrations should be written using font Times New Roman, size 8 pt, in italics. Color illustrations are acceptable, since the journal provides online access to articles. However, try printing your article in grayscale to verify that the readers will not miss the information from your illustrations if they have only monochrome printers.

There should be one line of space above the equation and one line of space below it before the text continues. The equations have to be numbered sequentially, and the number put in parentheses at the right-hand edge of the text. Equations should be punctuated as if they were an ordinary part of the text. Punctuation appears after the equation but before the equation number.

c2 = a2 + b2. (1)

Summary

Literature References

Both author-date system (Harvard style) and numbered references styles are acceptable. References should be listed alphabetically. In the reference list, names of all authors should be given. Do NOT use "et al." in the list of references!

If you decide to use the author-date style, then do not number the references in the reference list, and in the text refer to the author's name (without initials), followed by the year of publication (both in parenthesis), e.g. "... the previous study (Michalko 1993)..." or "...Michalko (1993) considered...". If a reference is made in the text to a publication written by more than two authors, the name of the first author should be used, followed by et al.

(Use the Microsoft Word template style: “ams refer”)

If you decide to use numbered references, please number references in the list; the numbers must be in square brackets, e.g. [1]. In the text, use the same, for example: " ... Michalko [1] considered..." or "...in the work [1]..."

Two or more references at a time may be put in one set of brackets [3,4]. The references are to be numbered in the order in which they are cited in the text and are to be listed at the end of the contribution under a heading References, see our example below.
