Listed below are several formatting recommendations. Papers should adhere to these formats when submitted.
• Use Times New Roman font, size 12 point, line spacing 1.5.
• Text should be justified.• Leave at least 3 centimetres space in both left and right margins.
• The first sentence of each paragraph following a heading should be indented 0.6 centimetres – with the exception of the document’s opening sentence.
• Chapter headings should be bold. This applies to all headings and sub-headings.
• Headings should not be numbered or lettered.
• Please use single quotation marks for quotations (double quotation marks are used for quotations within quotations).
• Quotations that extend to more than three lines should be set as an indented text element within the main body of text, without quotation marks. The text block should be indented by 0.5 cm from the left margins, separated by a single line (above and below) and be in font size 10 with single spaced lines.
• Footnotes: Times New Roman font size 10, hanging indent of 0.5 cm.

• Figures and tables should be numbered sequentially (Table 1, Table 2).
• Dates should be written out (‘26 January 1988’ not ‘26.1.1988’).
• Numbers up to and including twelve should be written out in words (‘nine’ not ‘9’). Numbers above and including 13 should be given as digits. All titles of works should be set in italics (please do not use small capitals).A table of contents should be created automatically with the appropriate template.
