The International Journal of Ambient Energy
is set in 10 point Helvetica Light in two columns of an A4 page. Three levels of subheading are available and pages will be numbered consecutively for each year of publication (four issues).
Preparation of Manuscript
The manuscript should be typed double-spaced on A4 (297 mm x 210 mm) or similar-sized paper with a wide margin on the left and with pages numbered consecutively. Authors are asked to send
two hard copies of the manuscript and a hard Copy of illustrations in black - NOT colour. It is also helpful if authors can send an electronic version of the text in Word 2002 or lower / quark 3.3 or lower / or ASCII
text, illustrations should NOT be embedded in the text. Additionally Scanned versions of Illustrations may be sent. These must be scanned with good resolution and supplied in TIFF/ JPEG/Photoshop 2.0 or
lower/Photostudio 2000 (ver 4.03) or lower formats NOT PowerPoint. The Journal
is printed in momochrome. Coloured Illustrations can sometimes be confusing as some colours look similar when reproduced in monochrome. If authors produce illustrations in colour they should be careful to use colours that produce distinct monochrome images. See also additional comments on illustrations below
Illustrations should be referred to in the text by a Figure number e.g. Figure 2, and ALL illustrations included with a paper should be referred to by a figure number within it.
References should be referred to in
the text using numbers in square brackets running consecutively throughout the paper, referring to a numbered reference list at the end of the paper in which reference should be made to books [1] and papers [2] using
the following convention:

It is the policy of the Journal
to include a brief synopsis, 100 – 150 words, at the beginning of the paper. Details of the authors qualifications and present appointment should also be submitted with the paper. Authors should also provide their email address although this will not be published
Method of Presentation
Sections and paragraphs are not numbered. Otherwise there are few rigid rules for the method of presentation and authors are given some freedom to present the content of their paper in
the most suitable way. Wherever possible, authors should make use of subheadings to highlight the content of specific sections of their paper, and are urged to use the three levels of bold heading that are available.
These can be indicated in the typescript in descending order by:
UPPER CASE BOLD ranged left.
Upper and lower case bold at the start of a new paragraph.
Upper and lower case italic
at the start of a new paragraph.
Tables
Tables should be numbered consecutively throughout the text with separate numbering from illustrations. They may be placed within the text or submitted separately.
In either case the Table numbers (e.g. Table 2, Table 3 etc.) should be referred to within the text. Please do not use a Table Editor
