  • Abstract, footnotes, etc.Please use 10pts.

 2. Layout

  • Title: Please centre the title and the name, affiliation and email of the authors.
  • Abstract: The abstract should be centered and should give the visual image of a block (albeit without lines around it).
  • Numbering of Sections: Sections should be consecutively numbered by Arabic numerals (not by Roman numerals or Capital letters). Main sections should have 1 digit designations; subsections 2 digit (1.1, 1.2, etc.) All headings (section titles) should be flush left.

3. Equations, Figures and Tables

The equations should be centred, 6pt space above and below to the text. Equation numbers should be flush right. Please use Equation Editor to create displayed equations.

Figures and tables should be included directly in the files you submit. They should be at high resolution. All figures and tables must be numbered consecutively using Arabic numbers in bold type (e.g. Fig. 1, etc). The size of a figure/table should be commensurate with the amount and value of the information the figure has to convey. Do not assemble figures at the back of your paper, but place them as close as possible to where they are mentioned in the main text.

4. References
References and citations should follow the Harvard (Autor, date) System Convention. As example you may consider the citation (Jones, 2016). Besides that, all references should be cited in the text. No numbers with or without brackets should be used to cite or to list the references.Biemer P. and Lyberg L. (2003), Introduction to Survey Quality, J.Wiley, N.Y.Little, R. J. A. (1988), Missing-Data Adjustments in Large Surveys, Journal of Business and Economic Statistics, 6, pp. 287-296.
