Appendix
If the paper provides attachments
Nomenclature and Units
Please take care that all terminology and notation used will be widely understood. Abbreviations and acronyms should be spelled out in full at their first occurrence in the text.
SI units are strongly recommended. If non-SI units must be used, SI equivalents (or conversion factors) must also be given. Please use the spellings ' liter' and 'meter' (a 'meter' is a measuring instrument).
Please use a decimal point rather than a comma in numbers (i.e., 3.142, not 3,142).
Write equations in dimensionless form or metric units. Please use italic letters to denote variables (in text or displayed equations).
Artwork
All figures should be embedded correctly positioned within your Word files and supplied as separate graphics files in their original formats. EPS, TIFF, or PSD formats are preferred. Use a minimum of 300 dpi.
Figures should appear in numerical order, be described in the body of the text, and be positioned close to where they are first cited. Each figure should have a caption that describes the illustration, which can be understood independently of the main text. The caption should be given in the text and not on the figure itself.
Because figures may be resized in production, please use scale bars and not magnification factors.
Tables
Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Number tables consecutively by their appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be sparing in tables and ensure that the data presented in them do not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using vertical lines.
Make sure all figures and tables will fit inside the text area.
The authors must refer to Journal Sustainability and Social Impact for writing format and style (Template). This will ensure fast processing and publication. Any papers not fulfilling the requirements based on the guideline to authors will not be processed.
