LINE ART FIGURES

To ease manuscript preparation, some general comments are outlined here.

PHOTOGRAPHS

EQUATIONS & COMPLEX EXPRESSIONS

Actual size photographs are perfectly fine. However, they can be also put into a text stream using a good-resolution scanner.

Always take time not only in typing but to manage this task. Math CAD, Math Writer, and Equation Editor (included in Microsoft Word) are considerably good. The manuscript should also be prepared using single space typing or it can be 1 spaces if the font type is Times New Roman.

GRAPHS

Several modern packages can produce nice-looking and professional graph presentation. Some also provide curve-fitting functions which are quite useful.
