Author Guidelines

 

1. PAPER SIZE, FONT, AND NUMBER OF PAGES

Download the template here.

1.1 The KAP menu

You can start a new document based on the DEPOSITORY Journal

1.2 Paper size

You can select A4 or US Letter sized paper. For A4 this leads to the following margins: top 2.3 cm; bottom 2.5 cm; left 2 cm; right 7 cm; gutter 0cm; header distance 1.4 cm; and footer distance 7.53 cm. The remaining text area is thus 12 cm wide and 19.7 cm high.

1.3 Font for normal text

All text should be formatted using the styles that are predefined in the template. Use the Normal style for normal text, which is in 11 pt Times New Roman. The text is left and right justified. The first line of each paragraph indents 0.53 cm. Do not use blank lines between paragraphs.

For the keywords and abstract, the style Abstract should be used, which is in 9 pt Times New Roman.

1.4 Number of pages

Your paper should have 5000 to 8000 words. The paper should be no more than 8000 words, and no more than 18 pages.

1.5 Page headers

On the odd (right) pages, the author's name of your paper will be inserted.

2. TITLE, AUTHORS, AND AFFILIATIONS

Title and subtitle can be formatted with the styles Title and Subtitle, available in the template.

All authors should be included at the top of the paper in one paragraph, i.e. without paragraph breaks or line breaks. If authors have an affiliation that differs from that of the first author, this can be indicated using superscripted numbers, as is done in this example (you will have to add these numbers manually after closing the document details dialogue box). The various affiliations can be separated using line breaks (shift-enter).

3. HEADINGS IN YOUR PAPER

3.1 Headings

Headings in your paper should be created using the predefined heading styles in the template. Generally, headings 1 to 3 should be used, heading 4 only when you need it, and headings 5 and further should be avoided. All headings use Times New Roman, bold.

Heading 1 is in 13 pt font, using all capitals in bold. For exact details, such as the line spacing before and after headings, please see Table 1.

3.2 Heading 2

Heading 2 is also in 13 pt font, bold, but not all capitals.

3.2.1 Heading 3

Heading 3 is in 11 pt font, bold, again not all capitals.

3.2.1.1 Heading 4

Heading 4, if you insist on using it, is similar to heading 3 but just adds another level to your numbering.

4. FIGURES AND TABLES

4.1 Figures

Pictures should be horizontally centred on the page, with a caption in 9 pt font below the figure, starting with Figure n.
