Type area on a page is standard Letter( 8.5'' x 11''). All text should be fully justified. Margins for this type area: top 1.3'', bottom 0.6'; left 1.25, right 1.25. Manuscript following abstract an keywords should be prepared in two column format with column width 2.8'' and space between the columns be 0.2''. These margins are a guide only. No text or figures should fall out of this text page area.
