Quotations, Notes and Footnotes

Short quotations in the text should be enclosed within double quotations mark. Direct
quotations exceeding four type lines of a manuscript should be set off from the text by
indenting 1 cm from the left and right margins and omitting quotation mark.

Material added by the author should be enclosed in brackets [ ], not parentheses ( ).
Omissions in a quotation are indicated by ellipses, using three dots (periods when types)
where one or more words are omitted. If this happens at the end of the sentence, four
dots--a period, followed by three spaced dots-- must follow: for example,”…[Steward]
emphasized… the effect which the introduction of agriculture had upon population
density…. He also…”

Tables

Tables are printed within the body of the text at the centre of the frame and labelled
according to the chapter in which they appear. For example, tables in Chapter 3 are
numbered sequentially: Table 3.2 etc.

Table 3.1
Short Title

If the table occupies more than one page, the continued table on the following page
should indicate that it is a continuation: for example:’ Table 3.1 continued’. If the table
contains a citation, the sources of the reference should be placed below the table.

Figures

Figures, like table are printed within the body of the text at the centre of the frame and
labelled according to the chapter in which they appear. For examples, figures in Chapter
3 are numbered sequentially: Figure 3.1, Figure 3.2 etc.

Figure3.1
Short Title

Figures, unlike text or table, contain graphs, illustrations or photograph and although
the format of their labels follows that used for tables, they are placed at the bottom of
the figure rather than at the top.
