Author/s’ name should not appear on any other page.

5. Headings: All sections, sub-sections, Etc should be clearly numbered, e.g.: 1, 1.1; 2, 2.1., Etc.
6. Spellings: Where alternative forms exist, choose ‘-ise’ spellings instead of ‘-ize’. Use British spellings rather than American (‘programme’ not ‘program’; ‘labour’ not ‘labor’, etc.).
7. Hyphenation: Pay attention to consistency in the hyphenation of words. Do not alternate, for example, between ‘macro-economic’ and ‘macroeconomic’.
8. Figures and Tables: Tables should be typewritten, each on a separate page and numbered sequentially with Arabic numerals. Distinguish between figures (diagrams) and tables (statistical material) and number them in separate sequences. Each table/figure should have a brief and descriptive title which must not be part of imported material (but typed) so that I can edit it for consistency with the other papers. All Figures and Tables should be cited in the text. Sources for figures and tables should be mentioned irrespective of whether or not they require permissions. All photographs and scanned images should have a resolution of minimum 300 dpi and 1500 pixels and their format should be TIFF or JPEG. Due permissions should be taken for copyright protected photographs/images. Even for photographs/images available in the public domain, it should be clearly ascertained whether or not their reproduction requires permission for purposes of publishing (which is a profit-making endeavor). Tables should have no lines separating columns and rows.
9. Quotes: Use single quotes throughout. Double quotes only to be used within single quotes. Spellings of words in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of 45 words or more should be separated from the text and indented with one space with a line space above and below.
10. Equations: All but the very short mathematical equations should be displayed on a separate line and centered. Equations must be numbered consecutively on the right margin, using Arabic numerals in parentheses. To reduce errors in typesetting, please differentiate clearly between the letter I (ell) and the numeral 1 (one), the letter o (oh) and the numeral 0 (zero) and marginal notations.
11. Notes: Notes should be consecutively numbered and presented at the end of the article, not at the foot of the page. In general, notes should contain more than a mere reference. They should be referred to in the text by numerical superscripts.
12. In-text Citations and References: For citations and referencing, ANSUJASS adopts both the latest edition of the American Psychological Association (APA) and Modern Language Association (MLA) formats.
