ABSTRACT

Uniformity of formatting is a desirable attribute for full-text papers published in the Israa University
Journal for Applied Science (IUJAS). This guide is written in the recommended format for papers and
outlines the required page length, spacing, margins, font sizes, headings, references, quotations, and
other stylistic features that lead to an appealing visual image. Use no more than 250 words in the
abstract to indicate the nature of the topic and to briefly summarize the findings of the paper.). The
Word version of this document has the recommended styles embedded and may be downloaded from
the home page at "[email protected]".

Keywords: Keyword1, Keyword2, Keyword3, Keyword4, Keyword5

Introduction

This document has been adapted from earlier style guides used for Israa University Journal for Applied
Science (IUJAS). Please write you papers using this style guide.

General Requirements

Papers for this journal should be no longer than 20 pages, including references, appendices, figures,
and tables. Tables and figures should be inserted directly into the manuscript, close to where they are
referenced. Both tables and figures should be numbered sequentially from 1 to n. Do not re-start the
numbering with each section in the paper. The paper should be written in Microsoft Word. We have
observed that keeping papers on the shorter side usually improves the writing and makes the logic
tighter, so we are maintaining a rather strict page limit. It is important that authors follow our
instructions carefully. To help you in this task, we have written this document in the recommended
format and the Word version includes the embedded styles.

Page Limit
The full manuscript must not exceed 20 pages. It must include an abstract of up to 250 words. The 20
pages should include all tables, figures, and references.

Quality of Your Document


Please be sure to check your document for spelling and grammar before submitting it electronically.

Margins
The left and right margins should be 2 cm, with text fully justified. The top and the bottom margin
should be 3 cm. You are encouraged to hyphenate words to obtain more even word spacing.

Spacing
The body text of the paper should be single-spaced and fully justified in 11-point Cambria font. Do
not leave one line space between paragraphs, and do not indent the first line of a new paragraph. The
margins should be set the specifications set forth in Margins Section of this Guide, with headers .5
inches from the top of the page and .62 inches from the bottom of the page. The editors will number
the pages appropriately before publication.

Use one space after punctuation marks such as periods, commas, semi-colons, and colons. No space
after internal periods in abbreviations (a.m., i.e., U.S.).

Do not insert one line space between paragraphs. Use 12 pt line after the final paragraph.

The Abstract, Appendix, and Reference headings should be first letters caps, 12-point, bolded, and
centered, with no line spaces above, and below.

Hedings
For the main headings for the abstract, references, and appendices, use 12-point Cambria bold font,
first letters caps, italic. Do not leave line spaces before and after.

For Level 1 headings such as “Introduction,” use centered 12-point Cambria bold font and capitalize
only the first letter of the first word. The Heading 1 style in this paper automatically inserts a line
space after the heading. In addition to the automatically inserted spaces, do not leave line spaces
before, after.

For Level 2 headings, use centered 12-point Cambria font and capitalize the first letter of the first
word. The Heading 2 style in this paper automatically inserts point line space after the heading.

Headers
You may put the headers in your paper. The header style in this document is set up to suppress the
header on the first page of an article.

First Page Requirements

Titles
Do not use a separate title page. For the main title, use 14-point Cambria bold font, first letters caps,
centered. Our Title style leaves a 12-point line space before and a 12-point line space after the title.
There should be no line space after the title and before the name of the first author.

Authors
Leave a one line space after the paper title; and list each author separately, in alphabetical order, with
the corresponding author first. Place the author’s name on the first line, the affiliation, on the next line,
the city, state (if appropriate), and country on the next line; and the e-mail address on the final line for
that author. Leave a one-line space between each successive author.
Abstract and keywords
After the last author’s name, leave two line spaces before and one line space after the word ABSTRACT,
which should be the same on this document. Use no more than 250 words in the abstract to indicate
the nature of the topic and to briefly summarize the findings of the paper. Leave one line space after
the abstract text, which should be in fully justified 11-point body text style. Put “Keywords:” on the
next cell, followed by no more than five keywords.

The Body of the Paper


The body of the paper should be separated from the abstract by two line spaces. The “body text” style
used here is left justified 11-point Cambria bold font. In body text, space no space after each period
that ends a sentence. Do not leave a line space between paragraphs. Do NOT indent the first word of a
new paragraph.

Acknowledgments
All acknowledgments should be at the the end page after conclusion and labeled in the usual manner.

Footnotes, Figures, and Tables

Footnotes
Footnotes are generally discouraged, but may be used when necessary. They should be numbered
consecutively and placed at the bottom of the page on which they appear, separated from the body of
the text by a line one inch long (or 10 spaces). Two footnotes on the same page should be separated by
a line space. Be sure to observe the margin requirements at the bottom of the page. Footnotes should
not be attached to equations.

Figures and Tables


Use a 10 pt Cambria font for figure and table captions. Figures and tables should appear soon after
their first citation in the text and should be included in a manner that allows easy reference while
reading the text. Please try to make them as legible as possible.

Figure captions should be located below the figure, centered and not bolded with no period following
the figure number or at the ends of the lines.

Table captions should be located above the table on two lines, not bolded, with the table number on
the first line, the description on the next line, both lines left-justified and no periods at the end of the
table number or the lines. Leave one blank line between the end of the caption and the table.

For both table and figure captions, capitalize only the first letter of the first word unless a word is
normally capitalized because it is a proper name. Do not use bold fonts. Do not use periods after the
table and figure numbers, and no periods at the ends of the lines. Refer to all tables and figures nearby
in the text.

Tables should be centered, if possible across the entire page, as shown in Table 1. The entries in the
cells of the table should be left justified. The font used for the cell entries is left to the discretion of the
author. In general tables look better and are easier to read if you minimize the number of vertical lines
and use only horizontal lines so far as possible as shown in Table 1.

Figures, drawings, tables, and photographs should be placed throughout the paper near the place
where they are first discussed. Do not group them together at the end of the paper. If placed at the top
or bottom of the paper, illustrations may run across both columns. Figures (including boxes and rules)
must not intrude into the top, bottom, or side margin areas. Figures must be inserted using your page-
formatting software. Number figures sequentially, for example, figure 1, and so on.

Low-Resolution Bitmaps
You may not use low-resolution (such as 72 dpi) screen dumps and GIF files—these files contain so
few pixels that they are always blurry, and illegible when printed. If they are color, they will become an
indecipherable mess when converted to black and white. Gif files and low-resolution jpg or png files
should never be used. The resolution of screen dumps can be increased by reducing the print size of
the original file while retaining the same number of pixels. You can also enlarge files by manipulating
them in software such as PhotoShop. Your figures should be a minimum of 300 dpi when
incorporated into your document.

Citations
To format your references please use the Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide in this link:

http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html

Please left-justify your references and do not use the hanging indents preferred by the Chicago. Books,
journals, and other references should be cited in the main document text by enclosing the author’s or
authors’ surname(s) and the year of publication in parentheses. Examples: (Saaty, 1994a) or
(Wedley, Schoner, and Choo, 1993). If you cite more than one reference by the same author in the
same year, use letters after the year to refer to the different publications. Example: (Saaty, 1994b). If
a reference contains no author, use the first two or three words of the title and the year. Example:
(Scale Reversals, 1991). Arrange the reference section in alphabetical order. Exercise discretion when
citing your own work. Remember, the refereeing process is intended to be a double-blind review, so
referring to too many of your own papers might give away your identity.
Quotations
If a quotation contains two or more sentences and four or more lines, it should be set off from the body
of the text with 1.5-inch left and right margins.

Formulas
All formulas should be placed on separate lines, centered, and numbered consecutively. Be certain that
all symbols are adequately defined. Identification numbers should be placed in the bottom of the
formula.

Proofreading Your PDF

Please check all the pages of your Word file. Is the page size A4? Are there any type 3, Identity-H, or
CID fonts? Are all the fonts embedded? Are there any areas where equations or figures run into the
margins? Did you include all your figures? Did you follow mixed-case capitalization rules for your title?
Did you include a copyright notice? Do any of the pages scroll slowly (because the graphics draw
slowly on the page)? Are URLs underlined and in color? You will need to fix these common errors
before submitting your file.

Appendices

Appendices, if needed, should immediately follow the body of the paper and precede the references.
Please use appendices sparingly. All tables and figures should be referred to in the text and located in
the body of the paper, as near as possible to where they are referred to in the text.

Naming Your Electronic File

We request that you name your Word source file with your last name (family name) so that it can
easily be differentiated from other submissions. If you name your files with the name of the event or
“icinse” or “paper” or “camera-ready” or some other generic or indecipherable name, it may be
overwritten.

References

The bibliography of cited sources should be titled “References”, centered and first letters caps, and
should appear at the end of the paper. References should come after the main body of the paper and
the appendices. Please follow the Chicago Guidelines for references given in the site below:
