KMITL Science and Technology Journal

Manuscript Preparation:

General: Manuscripts must be typewritten using a text processing software such as Microsoft Word for Windows, double-spaced with margin set-up (in page set up menu) as follows (see also the document template):

Top Margin 1.5" Bottom Margin 1.5"
Left Margin 1.5" Right Margin 1.5"

However, the single-spaced manuscript is requested for final submission.
Good quality printouts using A4 paper size is conventionally accepted. Format should be a single column. Time New Roman font type is required. Font size (Pica) for various text functions are tabulated as follows:

* CT = Center Text, LJ = Left Justified, LRJ = Left & Right Justified

The corresponding author should be identified (included a Fax number and E-mail address). Full postal addresses must be given for all co-authors.

Paper Length: Should not exceed 10 pages including figures and tables
Spelling: American English
Abstract: Should not exceed 250 words
Keywords: Should not exceed 8 keywords
Text: Full papers are requested to use this following order when typing

Manuscripts: Title, Authors, Affiliations, Abstract, Keywords, Main text (Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results and Discussion, Conclusions), Acknowledgements, References.
Short reports follow the same format as those of the full papers, except Results and Discussion section.

Line Art Figures: Figures can be drawn using several packages such as Win Draw, Auto CAD, Corel Draw, VISIO and etc.

Photographs: The actual size photographs are fine. However, they can be also put into a text stream using a good-resolution scanner. All photographs must be clear in black and white printing.

Graphs: Several today packages can produce nice-looking and professional graph presentation. Some also provide curve-fitting function, which is quite useful. However, two-dimensional bar charts are preferred. All graphs must be clear in black and white printing.
Equation and complex expressions: Math CAD, Math Writer and Equation Editor (included in Microsoft Word) are considerably good stuffs.

Citations: Citations in the text should be denoted by number in the square bracket (i.e. [1], [2],…).

References: References should be numbered in the order of appearance in the text. References must be arranged as follows:
