  4. Headings within the Article: Main and sub-headings should be created based on the number-letter system in the article, according to the treatment of the subject.
  5. Photographs, maps and tables: Care should be taken not to go beyond the page structure of the photographs, plans and tables used in the text. Such documents should be in a resolution suitable for the printing technique and if there is more than one, they should be numbered.
  6. Quotations and References: Quotations should be written in quotation marks and italicized. References should be made next to the quotations using the APA.
