Letters, figures, and symbols should be clearly denoted so that no doubts about their meaning can arise. Symbols which may lead to confusion (e.g. letter 1 and figure 1, figure 0 and letter O) should be distinguished by marks which are explained in "Remarks for the typesetter".
Equations should be typewritten and, with the number, placed in parentheses at the right margin. Reference to equations should use the form "Eq. (2)" or simply (2).
All figures should be numbered with consecutive Arabic numbers, have descriptive captions, and be mentioned in the text. Figures submitted must be of a standard high enough for direct reproduction. Line drawings should be prepared in electronic form. Figures should be planned in advance, so as to allow reduction to 12,75 cm in column width.
References should be listed alphabetically at the end of the manuscript, in the same way as the following examples (for a book, a paper in a journal, paper in a contributed volume and for an unpublished paper):
