IntroductionThis template acts as an example as well as a means of formatting a paper’s content.

Please do not skip over the abstract on the cover page, as it is not a real abstract but a set of preliminary instructions to be carefully read.

Styles ProvidedPlease use the styles provided for formatting your paper. The highest level headings in your document should be given the ‘Heading 1’ style, as the headings ‘Introduction’ and ‘Styles Provided’ above have been. The text of the heading should be written in ‘title case’; in other words, you should Give Each Significant Word an Initial Capital Letter. The first paragraph after the heading should have the style ‘After Heading 1/2’ (i.e. it should not have an indented first line).

Subsequent paragraphs use the ‘Body Text’ style. This progression of styles should happen automatically as you type into the document, but if you are copying and pasting you may have to set the styles manually.

Paper titles must be written using Advent Pro, 20 points, bold. First and second level headings employ Advent Pro, 14 and 13 points respectively. Paragraphs must be written using Helvetica, 10 points. Captions are in Helvetica, 9 points. Advent Pro and Helvetica fonts have been embedded inside the template.

References must comply with the Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition (author-date) style, following the instructions at the end of this document.

High-resolution images can be uploaded separately as additional files: their name in the text has necessarily to be the same of the uploaded file. Authors should supply a caption for each image.

Please use footnotes for clarifications or in-depth-analysis.

Using SubheadingsThe first level of subheadings should be given the ‘Heading 2’ style. As with the main headings, they should be written in title case and followed by a paragraph with the ‘After Heading 1/2’ style.

Again, subsequent paragraphs use the ‘Body Text’ style.

ListsWhen creating lists, please start a new paragraph and apply the relevant style rather than use the toolbar buttons. This will ensure the correct spacing is applied.

If the order of the elements in a list is significant, a numbered list should be used:

1. select ‘Numbering 1 Start’ for the first item;

2. the second and later items should automatically be given the style ‘Numbering 1’;

3. otherwise please apply the style manually.

If the order of the elements in the list is not significant, a bullet list should be used:

select ‘List 1 Start’ for the first item;

the second and later items should automatically be given the style ‘List Bullet’;

otherwise please apply the style manually.

After resuming normal text, please ensure that the paragraph style is changed back to ‘Body Text’ or whatever is appropriate.

Figures and TablesWhen including an image as a figure, start a new paragraph and give it the style ‘Figure’. Insert the image as an inline graphic, not ‘floating’ or with text flowing around. In Microsoft Word, this is described as a wrapping style of ‘In line with text’ under the image properties (see Figure 1).

Figure 1. Picture format dialogue box from Microsoft Word, showing wrapping styles.

The figure should be followed immediately by a paragraph with style ‘Caption’ if it fits on one line, or ‘Caption (Long)’ otherwise.

Another pair of caption styles is provided for use with tables. Use ‘Table Caption’ if the caption fits on one line and ‘Table Caption (Long)’ otherwise. Unlike with figures, the caption appears above the table rather than below it.

Table 1. Title of the table.

Tables should be inserted without any text wrapping to the sides and be centred on the page (see Table 1). They should have a thick border (1 pt) top and bottom, and a thin border (0.5 pt) separating the table head from the table body. They should not use vertical lines to separate columns, and ideally should not use horizontal lines to separate rows in the body of the table: white space and text alignment should be sufficient.

There is a style, ‘Table Contents’, for the content of tables (11 pt text, no indents). Textual content should normally be left-aligned. Numeric data should be aligned at the decimal point among itself but centred with respect to the heading.

Where decked (subdivided) headings are used, there should be a border beneath the upper-level heading (column spanner) indicating to which of the lower-level headings it applies.

Empty cells can either be left blank or represented by an em dash. A blank cell indicates non-applicability, while an em dash signifies that the data was not collected or has been omitted.

Please leave a blank paragraph after a table.Tables can be modified during the final copyediting process in order to make them

compliant with the journal style.

Quoted TextLong portions of quoted text should be set apart in a paragraph with style “Quotations”, as in the following example.

“Cras porttitor dictum lacus. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos hymenaeos. In consectetuer, diam at volutpat elementum, libero lectus pulvinar sem, vel sollicitudin quam libero ac felis.” (Borgman, 2007)

Note the use of inverted commas and the placement of the citation.

Reference List and CitationsEntries in the reference list are each in a paragraph with style ‘Reference’. The reference list below provides examples of the most common types for your convenience. All references must be included in the paper. References must comply with the Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition (author-date) style.Authors have to:

Arrange references in alphabetical order by authors' last names (surnames), or by title for sources without authors.

Capitalize the first word and all other principal words of the titles and subtitles of cited works listed. (Do not capitalize articles, prepositions, coordinating conjunctions, or the "to" in infinitives.)

Shorten the publisher's name; for example, omit articles, business abbreviations (Co., Inc.), and descriptive words (Press, Publisher).

When multiple publishers are listed, include all of them, placing a semicolon between each.

When more than one city is listed for the same publisher, use only the first city.

Use the conjunction "and," not an ampersand [&], when listing multiple authors of a single work.

N.B. First occurrence is for in-text citation, the second one for the reference list at the end of the article.Please remember that in this section only papers cited in the text must be listed. Do not use the reference section to list footnotes.
