INTRODUCTION
Please read the instructions carefully for the preparation of your manuscript, and
the submission deadline, and procedure.
This document should be used as your template for preparing your full paper
submission for the ACARE. If you use this guidance document as your template and use
the styles as they appear, it will greatly assist those who are producing the proceedings.
Do not format your paper to simply look like this document, but use this template directly
and change the text to your own text without changing the format of font, spacing, etc. You
should use the exact styles as in this document. (For those familiar with using Word styles
and formatting functions, the style list of this document is called ARF1. You can use the
styles in this list to set the formatting attributes, especially the typeface, line spacing,
indents, and the space around headings, tables and figures.)
Please have your paper checked and edited before submitting it, as the organizers
may have to reject papers that are of very poor English. MS Word spelling and grammar
checkers will surface many errors, but there will be many sentences with poor English that
remain undetected by the automatic checks.
There will be a review for the full paper. Authors with accepted full paper will be
notified by emails and are required to submit THE REVISED final paper in a format
according to publishing requirement. If you use the styles designated in the template
faithfully, you may need only minor adjustment to the final paper, if the publisher require
some changes to the formatting.

Margins should be set accordingly as: top 1; bottom 1; left 1.25; right 1; gutter 0; header
distance 0.5 and footer distance 0.3. The text area is thus 6.02 wide and 9.69 high.

of this template. There is no page number and header for the first page of each paper.
Note that there are no headers for all even (left) pages. Odd (right) pages, other than the
first page, would include the paper title at the center of the header. Use an abbreviation if
your title is too long.
1.4
Provide 6 pt spacing after paragraphs. Paragraphs may not be indented. Emphasis within the text,
such as words to be defined or key phrases, should be italicised. Bulleted lists may be used (style:
ARF1-Bulleted List), with a simple dot for a bullet.
Numbered lists may be used;
Arabic numbers are preferred, set off by a close parenthesis.
Use only one Carriage Return/Line Feed after a paragraph. Do not insert any empty lines
between paragraphs.
1.5
Tables
Put tables in the text, in the paragraph after they are first mentioned. Centre tables on the
page, unless it is necessary to use the full page width. Exceptionally large tables may be placed
landscaped (90o rotated) on the page, with the top of the table at the left-hand margin.
Keep tables simple. All texts in the table are 9 pt with 1.5 line spacing. Column headings
should be bold and centered. Put units in the column heading, in parentheses. Legends should be
italicised, left, 10 pt, above the table. Leave 12 pt above and 6 pt below the legend.
Use fine horizontal rules. Only three are usually needed: one below the caption to start the
table, one to end it, and one below the column heads. Do not use vertical rules or boxes. Do not
extend rules across the page but only as wide as the widest text within the table. An example of a
table is given below.

Illustrations
Illustrations include line drawings, charts, photographs and digital imagery. All such
illustrations will be considered as figures. They should all be digitised. High quality should
be maintained. Line drawings should be converted to a raster format. Set images to an
appropriate final size and orientation.. Provide at least 300dpi resolution for the final
manuscript for printing purposes. Frame the figures where necessary. Images should be
inserted in the body of the document for review.
Each figure should be placed after the text that refers to it. Leave spacing of 12 pts
above the figure and 6 pt below. All figures should be mentioned in the text (Figure 1).
Embed a Caption below the figure. The editors will make final decisions regarding the
location of the figure.

in parentheses, flush right. Please put 12 pt spaces above and below the equation.

References
The References heading should not be numbered (see later section). References
should follow the APA style This style is one of the most widely used. It should be possible
for all authors to collect bibliographic data and format it in a consistent manner. Many web
sites include examples of how to format your references using the APA Style.
Only texts that are cited in the paper should be included in the References. All
works that are cited should be included in the References section.
1.10.1
Citation
References should be cited in the text by author name and the date of publication,
enclosed in parentheses. The citation is placed at the end of the sentence. If there are
three or fewer authors, all authors are included in the citation embedded in the text. More

than three authors should be cited as the first author and then the designation et. al. If
a single sentence has more than one citation, all citations are enclosed in a single set of
parentheses. Multiple citations within a single set of parentheses are separated by a
semicolon.
Here are examples of citations as they would appear embedded into the text:
Several works by different authors: (Johnson et al. 1999; Yeang 1993; Ong 2003;
Olgyay et al. 2000)

Third order heading is in 10 pt font, bold, again not all capitals. If headings follow
one another without text in between them, some adjustment will be done.
1.11.1.1 Subheading, Fourth and Higher Order
For fourth and higher order headings, if you really insist on using it, is similar to
third order heading but just add another level to your numbering. This is not encouraged,
but try to limit your subheading to third level only.
