Instruction for preparation of final paper

Final version (2-10 page full paper) due for the conference proceedings. Papers will be published on conference web site.

We would like authors to make the papers look exactly like the template (.doc). The easiest way to achieve this is to replace the content with you own material.

General instructions

Print all text, figures, and tables in two-column format. The exceptions to the two column format are the title, authors' name and affiliation, email address, and full-width figures and tables. All margins are set to 25 mm (1 inch) or above. DO NOT put a page number in each page.

Typeset text and styles

Do not use double-byte characters, end-user-defined-characters and/or environment-dependent characters which may be garbled.

The top of the first page

Use a 14-point Arial font in the title, an 11-point Times New Roman in the authors' name and the affiliation, and an 11-point Courier New in the email address. The title, the authors' name and the affiliation, and the email address are centered.
Insert a line between the title and the authors' name, and between the authors' name and the affiliation.

Section heading

Label section and subsection heading in the style shown on this document. Use numbered sections. The style and font used are: 12-point bold Times New Roman for Section heading, 11-point bold and normal Times New Roman for Section heading. Insert a line between sections.

Body text

Use an 11-point Times New Roman font in the body, and indent the first line of the second and later paragraphs.

Footnotes

Footnotes should appear at the bottom of the page, and should be numbered. Use a 10-point Times New Roman font in the footnotes.

Figures and tables

Place figures and tables in the paper near where they are first mentioned, if possible. Wide figures and tables may run across both columns. Insert a line between text and figures and tables. Captions of tables should be appeared on the top of the table. Use a 10-point Arial font in tables.
Place a caption of figure below the figure. Provide a caption for every figure and table, and number each table and figure sequentially.

References and appendices

References

Conform to the styles of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association. Citations in the text appear in parenthesis as (Author, year) or (Author, year: page). If the author's name appears in the text, as Author (year) or Author (year: page).
Full citation of literature referred to should be given in References. Arrange the references alphabetically by first author's name, rather than by the order of occurrence in the text. Punctuate and capitalize as in References of this document.
