Introduction
Every paragraph of the manuscript should be indented (with a Tab of 0.5”), even
after headings. First-­‐level headings are typed in bold and left-­‐justified, with all main words
capitalized. Begin with double-­‐spaced text on the following line. Headings should be in
bold. All text, including footnotes, is 12-­‐point, Times New Roman font. There is no need to
triple-­‐space after paragraphs—simply indent the first line of the next paragraph, or
proceed to the next heading.
Formatting Subheadings
Second-­‐level headings should be italicized, with all main words capitalized. The text
starts on the next line. For third-­‐level headings, which are italicized, only the first letter
should be capitalized, and the text should run on from the heading.
General Style Guidelines
We provide an abbreviated list of general guidelines here. If you have more specific
questions, please contact the Managing Editor at journal@inesweb.org.
1. When punctuating quotations, please use a comma after the introductory element,
then full quotation marks, ending punctuation inside the quotation marks, and
then the footnote, e.g., According to Smith,“Engineers were committed to problem-­solving
above all else.” 1
2. Spell out proper nouns on first use, followed by the acronym. For example, spell
out the organization Volunteers for International Technical Assistance (VITA), with
the acronym in parentheses following the name.
3. Avoid excessive use of italics and parentheses in the text. Do not use any
underlining or bold font in the body of the text.
4. Give dates as day month year: 16 April 1975.
5. Write out numbers up to one hundred, unless they are a unit of measure or a
constant (e.g., 9.8 m/s2).

6. Engineering Studies accepts both American and British forms of spelling, but we
request that individual manuscripts be internally consistent.
7. Italicize words that appear in languages other than English. Authors may also
choose to italicize key theoretical concepts or terms, but are encouraged to refrain
from doing so excessively.
8. Avoid excessive use of capitals. Proper nouns should be capitalized.
Formatting Tables
Tables should be numbered and titled in bold above the table, and should list the source
after the table.

Handling Illustrations
All illustrations should include captions. A list of figures should be included at the end of
the manuscript.

Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments may appear after the main body of the text and before the
References page. Authors should limit their acknowledgments to no more than 150 words.
Acknowledgements should only be added to the manuscript once it has been accepted, in
order to keep the manuscript confidential for blind review.

References
Footnotes
Reference information should be given in a shortened form in footnotes, with a full
version given in a list of references at the end of the manuscript. Do not use ibid. or op.cit.
Footnotes should be given in abbreviated form as Name, Short Title (up to a colon only),
year, pages (if pointing to specific pages only). In other words, do not include page
numbers if citing an entire article or book chapter. Use semicolons to separate multiple
references within one footnote. For non-­‐English titles the original language title should go
first, followed by the English translation in brackets – in both footnotes and the reference
list.
