Main heading within the paper should be clearly distinguished from subheadings.
Tables
Tables should be typed with double or triple spacing and numbered in the order in which they appear in the text. Each table should be typed on a separate sheet and should be given a short title. The position of each table should be indicated in the margin of the text. Units and measurements should be clearly given for all data.
