Guidelines Article Formatting
No word processor document looks the same on another computer.
To format the document in a way that makes it easier for us to han-
dle it, here are some short technical guidelines.
• Save as .txt or even better as .rtf
• No automatic formatting done by a word processor
• Avoid tab-stops!!! Never use them for creating a paragraph!!!
• Hierachy of Headings by using numbers (i.e. 1. / 1.1 / 1.1.1 / 2. /
2.1 / 2.2 / 2.3. / 2.3.1 / etc.
• Formatting of references: you are recommended to use “APA
Style submitted” (www.apa-style.com)
• Tables stored in an extra file. Indicate the table by numbers and
“insert table Number X here” in the document. Provide a footer-
Text for the Table in the document
• Graphics should be stored as .gif or .jpeg format in an extra file.
Indicate graphics by numbers and “insert graphic number X
here” in the document. Provide a footer text for the graphic in
the document
• No “Word-Graphics” in the document, please. Keep it separate
and indicate a place in the document like described above
• Label tables and graphics with your name and number in article;
e.g. Lehtonen1
• to get closer to your ideas, it would be a good idea to receive
either a printed document formatted in a way you would like to
see your document or an electronic version in PDF-Format
• Abstract (less then 500 words)
