3. HEADINGS

The font of the heading is the same as the rest of the work: Times New Roman 12pt, double spaced (In all headings).

There are no blank lines before or after titles (either above or below). Also the paragraph spacing before and after the title is always 0 cm.

In standard papers, it is recommended to use headings with no more than two levels: headings (heading 1) and subheadings (heading 2).

LEVEL 1 HEADING (heading 1): capital letters, bold, centered.

Level 2 heading (heading 2): lowercase, bold, aligned to the left.

Level 3 heading (heading 3): lowercase, bold, italic, aligned to the left.

EXAMPLE:

4. LIST OF SOURCES

The list of sources starts with the first level heading List of sources. Always starts on a new page. If necessary, use the page brake function.

Sources in the list are not formatted with indentation, but with the hanging  indentation function.

Sorted alphabetically.
