Preparing a Paper

How to prepare your paper for the AutexRJ

A standard paper of the article should contain (in the listed order):

  • Paper title (of less than 120 characters),
  • Authors name (full first name and surname),
  • Authors address (name of affiliation, department, city, state, mailing address, tel., fax, and e-mail),
  • Abstract (no longer than 300 words),
  • Key words (4 – 8 key words should express the precise content of the article),
  • Main text (with headings, eventually subheadings etc., e.g Theoretical, Experimental, Materials, Results, Discussion etc.),
  • Conclusions,
  • Footnotes (eventually – footnotes should be avoided; when their use is absolutely necessary, they should be numbered consecutively using Arabian numerals eg. 1) and typed at the end of the paper,
  • Acknowledgements (eventually – information about delivering the paper to a conference, about sponsors etc.),
  • References (References should be indicated in the text by a number in square brackets and this number should correspond to the alphabetical order according surname of the first author),
  • Tables and figures should be inserted in the text at the appropriate points. Attention should be given not to leave to much free place. All tables and figures should be numbered (with Arabic numerals) consecutively and separately throughout the paper, and referred to by numbers in text. Photographs should be numbered as figures.

The paper should be prepared in Microsoft Word editor. Equations should be written in the Microsoft Equation editor included in Microsoft Office. The editors reserve the right to change the arrangement of the paper. The styles which should be used in the prepared paper are listed in table 1.
