sub-sub-section heading: Italic initial cap only
(example, 1.1.2 Description of the mine)
4. References
-Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Citation of a reference as "in press" implies that the item has been accepted for publication.
-Web references
As a minimum, the full URL and the date when the reference was last accessed should be given. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names, dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given.
-Reference style
Text: All citations in the text should refer to:
1. Single author: the author's name (without initials, unless there is ambiguity) and the year of publication;
2. Two authors: both authors' names and the year of publication;
3. Three or more authors: first author's name followed by "et al." and the year of publication.
Citations may be made parenthetically. Groups of references should be listed first chronologically, then alphabetically
Examples: "as demonstrated (Mishra et al., 1990; Ganguli, 1996a, 1996b; Nelson, 1996; Allan and Jones, 1995). Kramer et al. (2000) have recently shown”
List: References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters "a", "b", "c", etc., placed after the year of publication.

For simple fractions in the text, the solidus '/' should be used instead of a horizontal line, care being taken to insert parentheses where necessary to avoid ambiguity.
Displayed equations referred to in the text should be numbered serially ((1), (2), etc.) on the right-hand side of the page. Equations may be referred to in the text like as 'equation (1)', 'equations(2)-(4)'. Short expressions not referred to by any number will usually be incorporated in the text.
Symbols used to represent tensors, matrices, vectors and scalar variables should either be used as required from the character set of the application you are using The following styles are preferred: upright bold sans serif r for tensors, bold serif italic r for vectors, upright bold serif for matrices.
Mathematical equations should preferably be typewritten, with subscripts and superscripts clearly shown.
