2 ORIGINALITY AND LENGTH
Papers will be original contributions in the fields of interest to International Conference on
Geotechnical Engineering attendees and should be written in a concise style. Papers should be
limited to 10 pages (less a word equivalent for tables and illustrations), or shorter if specified by an
editor or organizing committee of a conference volume.
A paper is normally composed of text (with associated headings and references), tables and
illustrations along the editorial lines outlined in this guide.

7 TABLES
Tables must be referred to in the text and must be numbered in Arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, . . .) in the
order in which they are mentioned. Each table will be inserted as near as possible to the first
reference to it.
Each table must be provided with a brief title at the top of the table. Capital letters should be
restricted to the first letter of the title and of column headings, and for the first letter of proper
names.
Units of measurement, properly abbreviated and bracketed, should be placed at the top of
columns or in side headings rather than in the body of the table.
8 FORMULAE
Mathematical and chemical formulae should be carefully typed using an equation-creating
function. Equations should be intended 1 cm from left margin and numbered consecutively

REFERENCES
For references the Harvard system is used. References are cited in the text by the author’s name
and year of publication of the document; e.g. ‘as Moran (1980) showed . . . ’, or ‘Various workers
(Wilson, 1970; Smith, Adams and Jones, 1975; Brown and White, 1985) found that . . . ’
Note that all stops are taken out of references and text unless at the end of a sentence.
When a paper by up to three authors is cited in the text, it is important that all three names and
the year should be given. For four or more authors the name of the first author followed by ‘et al’
should be given in the text. However, in the list of references at the end of the typescript the names
of all the authors and their initials should be given.
A list of references, each of which must have been cited in the text, should be listed under the
heading ‘REFERENCES’ at the end of the typescript. This list must be arranged alphabetically by
the surname of the first author followed as needed by the second author and so forth. Do not use
numbers to identify references within the text. For each paper, the following convention and order
is used:
the names of all authors and their initials must be given (don’t use stops);
the year of publication;
the title of the paper (using lower case letters and no inverted commas);
the correct name of the book or journal in which the paper appears (spelled in full) and
made to appear in italics;
the editor(s) of the book (if appropriate);
the volume number(s) and page numbers; and
the publisher and place of publication (if appropriate) made to appear in brackets.
The heading of the references, acknowledgements, appendix etc. should be without a number.
