6. Paper format
   8.5" x 11" page size
   1" margins
   11 point Times Roman
   1.5—spaced
   (bold for vectors and matrices, italics for variables, superscript, subscript).
7. Tables and Figures
   Collect references, tables and figures, in that order, at the end of the manuscripts. Tables & figures should be numbered consecutively and their position in the text must be indicated.
   When submitting tables, consideration should be given to the limits imposed by the journal page size (Tables spread across double pages are difficult to read). Type table column headings with an initial capital only. Use only horizontal lines in tables, with a minimum width of 1 pt. Each table and figure must be followed by a source statement, and must explicitly be referred to in the site. Reproducible originals (camera-ready copy) of line drawings should be submitted. Type captions with an initial capital only. Use automatic references to tables and figures.
8. Footnotes
   The use of footnotes should be minimized. If footnotes are necessary, they should be numbered consecutively throughout the paper, not page by page. Footnotes should be explanatory only and not used for citations.
9. Headings
   All major words of headings and subheadings should be capitalized, excluding articles and short prepositions. Bullets can be used to highlight lists.
10. References
    References should follow American Psychological Association (APA) style, including the parenthetical references (author, date) as well as the reference list. The reference list is titled "References" and should be in alphabetical order by author last name. If there are two articles by the same author, then the author's name is again written in full. This follows the APA style. If there are two or more articles by the same author, then they should be ordered according to year with the most recent ordered first. If there are two articles with the same author and the same year, then they should be ordered alphabetically by title with the first article being 1998a, the second 1998b, and so on.
