ABSTRACT
In this paper, the formatting requirements for THE 1ST MULTIDISCIPLINARY ACADEMIC
RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE (MARIC 2019) are described. Some recommendations
on writing for a worldwide readership are offered. Please review this document to learn about the
formatting of text, table captions, references, and the method to include the indexing information. The
conference proceedings will be published in an electronic format. The full paper in MS Word file shall be
written in compliance with these instructions. At a later stage, it will be converted into Portable Document
Format (PDF).
An abstract in between 200 to 300 words should appear on the top of the first page, after the title of
the paper in a section titled "ABSTRACT" (without a section number), after the names of the authors.

KEYWORDS: 4 - 8 keywords

1 INTRODUCTION
It is expected that authors will submit carefully written and proofread material. Careful checking
for spelling and grammatical errors should be performed. The number of pages of the paper should be
from 4 to 14.
Papers should clearly describe the background of the subject, the authors work, including the
methods used, results and concluding the discussion on the importance of the work. Papers are to be
prepared in English. Technical terms should be explained. Acronyms should be written out at their first
appearance.

2 PAPER FORMAT
The uniform appearance will assist the reader to read the paper of the proceedings. It is therefore
suggested to authors to use the example of this file to construct their papers. This particular example uses
an American letter format with 25 mm margins left, right, top and bottom.
All text paragraphs should be single-spaced, with the first line intended by 10 mm. Double spacing
should only be used before and after headings and subheadings as shown in this example. Position and
style of headings and subheadings should follow this example. No spaces should be placed between
paragraphs.

XXX-1
2.1 Header, Footer, Page Numbering
Authors are asked to replace the "XXX" number (with the paper code that was assigned when the
paper was accepted) on the header of the first page and on the footer of other pages..

2.2 Fonts
Papers should use 11-point Times New Roman font. The styles available are bold, italic and
underlined. It is recommended that text in figures should not smaller than the 10-point font size.

2.3 Tables and Figures

Figure captions and table headings should be sufficient to explain the figure or table without
needing to refer to the text. Figures and tables not cited in the text should not be presented. The following
is an example for Table 1.

Table 1 Title of the Table

Type of nanoparticles Average size (nm) Variance (nm)
CuO 47 4.2
NiO 35 6.4
Al2O3 42 2.1
SnO2 27 3.9

Tables and figures should be placed close after their first reference in the text. All figures and tables
should be numbered with Arabic numerals. Table headings should be centred above the tables. Figure
captions should be centred below the figures as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Number of patents on nanotechnology with time

2.4 Equations
Each equation should be presented on a separate line from the text with a blank space above and
below. Equations should be clear and expressions used should be explained in the text. The equations
should be numbered consecutively at the outer right margin, as shown in Eqs. (1) - (2) below. Here is one
example.

XXX-2
 In this case, the governing system of equations can be written as follows:
r
�
( r u)
= -�� (0)
�t

�� � 1
r � +u�
��u = -�P + r g + J �B (0)
��
t � c

�� � 1
r � +u�
�� u + ru �
e = - P�� g + J2 (3)
��
t � s

2.5 References
List of references must follow A.P.A style. Proper references must be included throughout the text
and the list of references must be provided in this section. The references inserted in the text and the list
of references must be done as follow:
Reference citations: Citations in the main body, appendices, tables and figures are to be made using
the last name of the author (both authors when only two; first author plus et al. when more than two).
Example: "... as previously shown (Jones et al., 1989)," or "... as shown by Jones et al. (1989)." For two
or more papers published in the same year by the same author(s), add a, b, c, etc. to the year such as
(1980a) or (1980b) and cite jointly as Jones et al. (1980a, b).
List of references: List all cited references (including citations in tables, figures and appendices) in
alphabetical order according to the first-named author. The titles of papers, patents and books or
monograph chapters and the initial and final page numbers are to be included. Abbreviations of journal
names should conform to the usage of Chemical Abstracts. Example for journal papers, book/monograph
sections or chapters, and conference proceedings are given the reference section at the end of this
document.
Referencing websites: With the increasing availability of useful information that can be found on
the internet, website references must also be reported. At the end of the reference list, make a separate
section of websites and the date consulted. However, to avoid very long website addresses, these
references should be referred to as Web-1, Web-2, etc. For example, in the body of the report: “… it was
shown that the heat transfer coefficient of Nano fluids increased by 40% (Web-1) …”. In the reference
list, provide the list of websites with the numeral values used in the text.

3 SUBMITTING THE PAPER

The full paper has to be submitted electronically via the website of the conference
(www.chair4it.com).
Paper number (in the format "XXX") is assigned to each abstract after it was submitted through our
OpenConf system and authors are kindly asked to place this paper number to the correct positions in the
header and footer before submitting the final version.

4 CONCLUSION
Conclusions should state concisely the most important propositions of the paper as well as the
author’s views of the practical implications of the results.

5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A short acknowledgement section can be written between the conclusion and the references.
Sponsorship and financial support acknowledgements should be included here. Acknowledging the
contributions of other colleagues who are not included in the authorship of this paper is also added in this
section. If no acknowledgement is necessary, this section should not appear in the paper.
