2. FORMATTING OF MANUSCRIPT COMPONENTS

2.1. TitleThe manuscript title is centred at the top of the page in 16 pt bold, all caps. Keep titles

brief and descriptive. Spell out acronyms unless they are widely known. Avoid starting with articles or prepositions, e.g., “The study of … ,” or, “On the ….”

2.2. Author affiliationsThe author list is in 12 pt regular, centred. Do not use titles and degrees such as Dr., Prof.,

Ph.D., etc. The author's affiliation and address for correspondence should be clearly noted in the Footnote.

2.3. Section headingsSection headings are 12 pt bold capitals, left justified. Sections numbers have whole

numbers, e.g., 1, 2, 3… Don't number the "Acknowledgements" and "References." Headings often used are: 1. Introduction, 2. Methodology, 3. Data, 4. Results, and 5. Conclusions.

2.4. Subsection headingSubsection headings are left-justified, 12 pt, bold. The first word, acronyms, and proper

nouns are capitalized.

2.5. Text and paragraphsText is 12 points and justified. It is recommended to use the "DCB Main" style. Each

sentence ends with a period and a single space before the next sentence. Do not add a blank line above and below section headings and between paragraphs. Avoid headings or one-line paragraphs at the top or bottom of a page by using page breaks or extra blank lines.

2.6. Figures and tablesBoth figures and tables are centred. For figures use and insert .jpg, .tiff, or .gif illustrations

instead of PowerPoint or graphic constructions. The captions of figures are below and the caption of table are above the table.

3. EQUATIONSIt is recommended to use the MS Equation, built-in MS Word editor for mathematical

equations, without changing its initial settings. A math reference in a paragraph sentence such as J=−D (∂ C /∂ x ) is not numbered. When an equation is placed in one row it is centred by using right-aligned tab, optionally numbered. Leave one blank line before and after the equation/expression/formula. Using the DCB Equation style is the easiest method for making equation. For example

ε cs=εcd+εca, (1)

where: ε cs is the total shrinkage strain, ε cd – the drying shrinkage strain, ε ca – the autogenous shrinkage strain.
