All headings and  subheadings should be typed in capital boldface with no punctuation mark and aligned left.

d. Names should be given in full the first time they are mentioned in the text (e.g. Spherical Harmonic Analysis.) but can be abbreviated at subsequent mention (e.g. SHA). Spelling should be in English, except in quotations and references. e. All the pages of the manuscripts, including the title page, should be numbered in Arabic numerals.

f. Information in tables should not be duplicated in figures, and vice versa.
