The captions are formatted using 10tp, Times New Roman, italic font and are centered (use Caption Style). Each figure must be referred to at least once in the text of the paper, for instance: see Figure 1.

The tables should also have captions with the same formatting as figures and should be referenced in the text.

Algorithm 1	Algorithm 2
Dataset 1	90.3	93.4
Dataset 2	88.2	91.4
Dataset 3	72.7	86.9

Equations can be entered using MS Word insert equation feature or as figures. They should be numbered and referenced in the text. For example: the attribute is calculated using equation 1.

Use Equation Style to format paragraphs containing equations. Enter a tab character followed by the equation and another tab character before the equation number in brackets.

Lists

To list items you can use List Paragraph Style: Times New Roman, 10pt, justified, 3pt space after the last item on the list. An example of the list:
