Left : 1.5 inch Bottom : 1.0 inch

Page Numbering

All page numbers should be printed 0.8 inch from the bottom margin and placed at the
right hand side without any punctuation. Font size 8 is recommended for numbers.

Roman numerals (i,ii,iii etc) should be use in the preface section. Although the Title Page
is the first page of the Preface, no number is to be printed on it. Numbering begins on
the second page with (ii).

Arabic numerals (1,2,3 and so on) are used on the pages of the text and supplementary
sections.

Sub-topics

No specific arrangement is required for the numbering of sub-topics but, whatever
arrangement is adopted, it must be consistent.

Spelling

Consistency in spelling is important. British spelling is preferred by AEI. Refer to The
Concise Oxford Dictionary. In quoted material and titles of books, article and so forth,
the actual spelling in the original used.

Punctuation

A few common usages are given in the following examples:

The boy,girl, or dog ate it.
The boy, girl, and dog came
He commented that the weather was “not as expected”
She said, “I have no idea what you mean.”
He gives a bleated, though stilted (and somewhat obscure), exposition of the subject “ I
have no idea what ‘xyz’ means.”
