PAPER TITLE

Abstract

This is a template that authors are required to use for preparing papers for publication in the ACTA Press

journals. Each article must include an abstract not exceeding 200 words. All texts must be in Times New

Roman 12-pt font with double-line spacing. The abstract must only be in one single paragraph.

Key Words

The author MUST provide a list of key words up to a maximum of six. Each key word is separated by a

comma. Capitalize pronouns and names, do not use a period after the final key word in the list, and do

not use the word and before the final keyword

1. Introduction

Do not indent the first paragraph under each heading or subheading. The Introduction is the first

numbered heading of the paper. It should explain the nature of the problem, previous work, purpose, and

the contribution of the paper. It is assigned the number "1" and subsequent sections are assigned

numbers as needed. For example, the second section of a paper might be 2. Background to Scanning

Methods and the third section could be "3. Simulation Results".

2. Title and Author Information

The title is centred on the page and is CAPITALIZED AND SET IN BOLDFACE. Please limit the title

to a maximum length of 14 words. Author names, affiliations, email addresses, etc. should not appear on

Manuscript received DD Month YYYY (write the date on which you submitted your paper for review.)
the initial manuscript anywhere. Footnotes are indicated within the text by an asterisk sign * in

superscript, which is used to document author information and the date the manuscript was received. Do

NOT separate footnotes by a horizontal line from the body text.

3. Headings

Headings and subheadings must be numbered. Do not underline or capitalize any of the headings, or add

dashes, colons, etc. Headings and subheadings, such as "1. Introduction", should appear in upper and

lower case letters and be set in bold. All headings from the Introduction to Conclusion are numbered

sequentially using 1, 2, 3, etc. Do not number the following sections: Abstract, Key Words,

Acknowledgments, and References.

3.1 Subheadings

Subheadings are numbered 1.1, 1.2, etc. If a subsection must be further divided, the numbers 1.1.1,

1.1.2, etc. are used. For a subsection, the number and associated title are set in italics instead of

boldface. The next paragraph is the subsection of this section.

3.1.1. First Subsection

This is a new paragraph under subsection 3.1.1. The next subsection is also a part of section 3.1.

3.1.2. Second Subsection

This is the second subsection to the section 3.1 Subheading.

4. Title Case Capitalization

DO capitalize the first letters of all words. Do NOT capitalize the following: "a," "an," "the,"; "for,"
"and," "nor," "but," "or," "yet," "so," (FANBOYS); "to," "as"; "de," "von" (part of a proper name); "in,"
"of," "by," (preposition). Do NOT capitalize common prepositions such as: "about," "above," "across,"
"after," "against," "along," "among," "around," "at," "before," "behind," "below," "beneath," "beside,"
"between," "beyond," "but," "by," "despite," "down," "during," "except," "for," "from," "in," "inside,"
"into," "like," "near," "of," "off," "on," "onto," "out," "outside," "over," "past," "since," "through,"
"throughout," "till," "to," "toward," "under," "underneath," "until," "up," "upon," "with," "within," and
"without."

5. Indentations and Equations

The first paragraph under each heading/subheading should be flushed left, and subsequent paragraphs

should have a five-space indentation. Insert a colon before an equation is presented. Do not insert

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 other numbering

system you use in your paper is not to be confused with a reference [4] or an equation (3). Equation (1)

is a mathematical function in a two-dimensional space coordinates.

This is an example of proper equation format:

w u , v rk (1)

6. Page Numbering and References in the Text

All pages except for the first page must be numbered sequentially using 1, 2, 3, etc. The page number

should be centred and must appear at the bottom of each page. References are numbered and listed in the

Reference section in the order that they appear in the text, NOT in alphabetical order by authors

name. When referring to a source in the text, only the number enclosed in square brackets [ ] is used for

identification, for example, [1], [2], etc.

The Reference section should include et. al. for references containing more than four authors. All

references are collected in the Reference section at the end of the main text, and they are cited using The

Chicago Manual of Style [2].

7. Figures and Tables

The purpose of tables and figures is to report data too numerous or complicated to be described in the
text and/or to reveal trends or patterns in the data. Tables and figures are critical. If the readers read

beyond the abstract, they are likely to examine the tables and figures next.

7.1 Figures

All figures should be centred and clearly distinguishable. The image quality and resolution must be

sufficient so that reduction to publication size does not render the image illegible. Please submit an

electronic copy of the figures. Figure captions appear below the figure; they are centred relative to the

figures and are in lower case letters. Figure and caption should always appear together on the same page.

When referring to a figure in the body of the text, the abbreviation "Fig." is used. For example, Fig. 1 is

an image of a building at the pier.

Figure 1. This is a large image of a building at the pier.

(a) (b) (c)

Figure 2. This is a series of small images. The images are labelled in an alphabetical order (a) red image,
(b) blue image, and (c) grey image.
7.2 Tables

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. The first line is the table numbering without a period at the end of

the number. For example, "Table 1. This is followed by the caption in the next line. The caption is set in

upper and lower case and without a period at the end of the caption.

Conclusion

A Conclusion section MUST be included and should clearly indicate the advantages, limitations and

possible applications of the paper. The conclusion is the final numbered section of the paper.

Acknowledgement

The Acknowledgement section is optional. Place all acknowledgements (including those concerning

research grants and funding) in this section of the paper between the Conclusion and References.

References

This heading is not assigned a number. References need to be numbered as they appear in your text ([1],

[2], [3], etc) and should appear in your reference section in numerical order (not alphabetically). The

following are examples of citation for a journal paper [1], book [2], chapters in book [3], thesis [4] and

proceeding paper [5]:
