All articles should be written in English (en-UK, if possible).
PAPER GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORS

in the samplearticle.rtf to

TIPS
- Try using only two levels of headings, if possible.
-
If you have written sections of your article using documents obeying other Word
styles and wish to
copy the text in your new PEG article (written using the samplearticle.rtf),
use the Word method Edit/ Paste_Special/ Unformatted_text instead
of simple Paste to insert text and apply correct style if needed.
This effectively forbids making unwanted
style definitions (essentially combining definitions from different Word templates)
by accident.
- Try printing out your document to see that it is correct. Remember to
check the images.
- Use Word method Tools/ Word_Count to calculate the number of words of
the selected portion of the article.
- If you need to insert line breaks without ending a paragraph, use
Shift+Enter instead of Enter.
Please follow these instructions as carefully as possible.
