1 Example of Basic Formatting Amy Author Air Resources, Pittsburgh, PA, USA INTRODUCTION This document exemplifies the formatting required for manuscripts being submitted to the Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association. However, it is imperative that you thoroughly read and follow the style guidelines in your manuscript preparation: The costs for page charges and color graphics are listed in the guidelines, as are explanations for and samples of each of the following: Implications, Abstract, references, tables, About the Authors, list of figure captions, and figures. FIRST LEVEL HEADING EXAMPLE Second-Level Heading Example Third-Level Heading Example See the style guidelines for further information on headings. Normally there won t be headings beyond level three. Note that the margins are 1 inch all around. The lines of text are 1.5 spaced and left justified, and the font is 12-point Times New Roman. Table 1 here [this is an example of a placeholder to indicate to the copy editor where to place a table; the caption is not needed here] Add an extra, blank line to indicate paragraph breaks, as shown throughout this text. Equations should appear as described in the style guidelines. (1)

2 Tables and then figures should be grouped after the text, ordered in the same sequence in which they are to appear in the published text. They can be included in the same document file as the text for the first version, but they must still be grouped at the end, not interspersed throughout the text. Of course, for all but the first (initial) submittal, figures will need to be removed from the text document and formatted separately as directed in the guidelines. Figure 1 here [this is an example of a placeholder to indicate to the copy editor where to place a figure; the caption is not needed here] References should be indicated in the text by listing the author and year of publication (Jones et al., 2011), and listed alphabetically by author name in the reference section as shown in the example in the style guidelines (Allstaff, 2010). No auto referencing, auto footnoting, or other auto functions should be used. Figure 2 here CHANGES IN THE TEXT DOCUMENT FROM THE FORMER SUBMITTAL SYSTEM If you previously used the Rapid Review system, you will want to particularly be aware of the following changes. First Item Regarding Variances From Old Guidelines Line numbering should no longer be included in your text files. ScholarOne will assign line numbers when it converts your uploaded files to a PDF. ScholarOne will also assign page numbers. Second Item Regarding Variances From Old Guidelines The Implications paragraph should be submitted in a separate text file from the rest of the manuscript text, and should be placed first. It does not need to also be included within the main text document. The Abstract, too, does not need to be included in the text file of your manuscript, since you will have already entered it in the appropriate text box in the manuscript

3 record. ScholarOne will include both of these paragraphs in the PDF it develops from the information and files you submit. SUMMARY Follow the checklist toward the end of the style guidelines to ensure that you have included all the parts and in proper order.
