Tables and Figures

        Each table and figure must be on a separate page of the manuscript.
        Tables: Number the tables according to their sequence in the body text. The text should include references to all tables. Vertical lines should not be used to separate columns. Leave some extra space instead.
        Figures: Figures should be of high quality (not less than 300 dpi in JPEG or TIFF format), at the same size as the author would like them to appear in press. Choose the size of symbols and lettering so that the figures can be reduced to fit on a page or in a column.

Significant changes to the article as accepted for publication will only be considered at this stage with permission from the Editor-in-chief. It is important to ensure that all corrections are sent back to HASSS: please check carefully before replying, as inclusion of any subsequent corrections cannot be guaranteed.
