2 Methodology

2.1  Preparing the paper

Start by renaming the template file. Name your file properly and then, you either can type your paper, or copy the old version of your paper onto this new formatted file. Section headings and sub-headings should be numbered as shown in this template, except for the “Abstract”, “Keywords”, “Acknowledgement” and “References”. First-level headings are set in 12pt Times New Roman and use all upper case letters. Second level headings are set in 12pt Times New Roman, italic. Third-level headings, if required, are set in 11pt Times New Roman, italic.

2.2  Title, author and affiliation frame

The title should not be longer than 70 characters. If any of the co-authors have the same affiliation as the first author, add his/her name together with the first author.

2.3  Equations

Number equations successively and place the number (refer to equations by these numbers) with the tab key at the end of the line. Please use SI units throughout the manuscript.

∂U∂t+∇F=0 (1)

2.4  Tables

Locate tables and figures close to the first reference to them in the text and number them consecutively. All figures and tables, must be centered, and referenced in the text. Table captions should appear immediately above the table and must be numbered and titled using 11 pt Times New Roman, while figure captions should appear immediately below the figure, also in 11 pt Times New Roman. Tables and figures should be clear and legible and should follow a uniform style throughout. Please ensure all figures and illustrations are crisp and that all text is clearly legible.
