ABSTRACT
An abstract of approximately 250 words should provide information on the purpose of the study,
methods used, results and conclusions.
It is obligatory to use a copy of this file for preparing the manuscript, and to replace/insert the
headings and text sections without altering their format:
Title
in format TITLE, as given above in this sample paper.
Authors
Format Authors. First name(s) last name; do not abbreviate first names.
Affiliation
Format Affiliation. Department/Institute, Town, Country, email. Use numbering as given above.
Section headings
Format HEADING 1. (Example: ABSTRACT in this section)
Section subheadings
Format Heading 2. (Example: Section subheadings above)
Text
Format Text.
References
see examples given below.
File conversion from Rich text Format (rtf) to Microsoft WORD (doc) is recommended to reduce the
file size if you include images and graphs with high resolution.
KEYWORDS
Please add five keywords which characterise the methods and results of your contribution. They
should not repeat the title of the manuscript.
INTRODUCTION
The introduction should present the scientific background of the study and state clearly its
objectives.
METHODS
This section should describe in detail the study material, procedures and methods used.

RESULTS
Figures, graphs and other illustrations may be shorter and more effective than text, but avoid
tables and graphs that duplicate the text. They should be inserted in the text near the place where
they are mentioned the first time. See Table 1 and Figure 1 for examples.
All tables must have suitable titles above them.
Table 1: A sample table. Use format Table headings for the table legend, letter style Arial italic
11 pt. Use format Table for the table text, letter style Arial 10 pt, single line spacing with 1 pt
spacing before and 1 pt following the paragraph .
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
Column 2
Column 3
Figures should be embedded in the manuscript. Their position should be close to the text
paragraphs to which they belong. Figures are centred, and figure legends are placed under the
figure in format Figure captions.
Figure 1: A sample figure caption. Use format Figure captions, letter style Arial 11 pt, italic, single
line spacing with 6 pt spacing before paragraph.
To ensure a good quality of figures in the published issue, all figures must be sent to the editor as
separate image files. Please use *.png, *.ps, *.eps, or *.tif format for line drawings, *.jpg format for
photographs. Any compression should be avoided.
REFERENCING
Appropriate referencing of the literature is considered essential for the quality of a manuscript. It
shall take into account published literature in a given field of research, and outline the state of the
art of the utilised methods.
References are numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned in the
manuscript. They are identified in the text by Arabic numbers in parentheses, inserted as endnote
signs with format endnotesign. Endnote signs for referencing can appear in a sentence at
positions to which they belong. Example: The measurement of fluorescent (1) and absorbing
matter (2) in the water column (3) is well known in marine optics and remote sensing (4,5).
The format endnotetext is used for the reference list created in the References section at the end
of the manuscript.
Please add links to references which are available for download on the internet, and indicate the
access date. Example: http://www.eproceedings.org/static/vol10_2/10_2_heim1.html (last date

CONCLUSIONS
Study results should be related to relevant literature. Possible sources of error should also be
discussed. Recommendations for future research should also be made.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
A short section may acknowledge special assistance and sources of research funding.
