These pages provide you with an example of the layout and style for 100% reproduction which
we wish you to adopt during the preparation of your paper. These instructions are also available
in LATEX document style at www.elsevier.nl/locate/latex.
1. FORMAT
Text should be produced within the
dimensions shown on these pages; each
column 7.5 cm wide with 1 cm middle margin,
total width of 16 cm and a maximum length of
19.5 cm on first pages and 21 cm on second
and following pages. Make use of the
maximum stipulated length apart from the
following two exceptions (i) do not begin a new
section directly at the bottom of a page, but
transfer the heading to the top of the next
column; (ii) you may exceed the length of the
text area by one line only in order to complete
a section of text or a paragraph.
1.1. Spacing
We normally recommend the use of 1.0
(single) line spacing. However, when typing
complicated mathematical text it is important
to increase the space between text lines in
order to prevent sub- and super-script fonts
overlapping one another and making your
printed matter illegible. If you are using a
desktop publishing program ensure that your
‘auto adjust’ for interline spacing is suitably
set to prevent overlapping but without leaving
too much space.
