Abstract – (no more than 10 lines) These instructions give you guidelines for
preparing papers for The Scientific Annals of Ovidius University of Constanta, Series
of Civil Engineering. Use this document as a template if you are using Microsoft Word
6.0 or later. Otherwise, use this document as an instruction set. The electronic file of
your paper will be formatted further at THE SCIENTIFIC ANNALS OF OVIDIUS
UNIVERSITY OF CONSTANTA, SERIES OF CIVIL ENGINEERING. We accept
papers in the following formats: .doc, .docx. Do not insert page numbers. Define
abbreviations and acronyms in the abstract.
Keywords – About four key words or phrases in alphabetical order, separated by
commas.

For Microsoft Word users, Highlight a section that you want to designate with a
certain style, then select the appropriate name on the style menu. The style will adjust your
fonts and line spacing. Do not change the font sizes or line spacing to squeeze more text
into a limited number of pages. Use italics for emphasis; do not underline.
Before the abstract and after the keywords a horizontal line should be drawn.
A paper usually contains five sections: (1) introduction, (2) description of the
theoretical model or method / description of the experiment, experimental materials and
equipments, (3) results and their significance, (4) conclusions and (5) references. Synthesis
papers are an exception from this recommendation.
2. EXPERIMENT DESCRIPTION
Tables and figures should be inserted in the text, preferably where they are referred
to. Each of them must have a reference number and a title (tables) or a caption (figures).
Place figure captions below the figures and table titles above the tables. If your figure has
two parts, include the labels “(a)” and “(b)” as part of the artwork. Please verify that the
figures and tables you mention in the text actually exist. Do not put borders around the
outside of your figures. Tables and figures are separated from the above/under text by a
single spaced line.

Taking into account that the proceedings will be printed in black and white,
coloured illustrations must have a proper contrast.
Tables and figures that exceed the width of the page may be rotated to the left, at 90o.
Tables and figures should be cited as follows: Table 1, Fig. 1.
The abbreviation Fig. 1 is not allowed at the beginning of a statement. In this case it
should be written Figure 1.

3. RESULTS AND SIGNIFICANCES
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after
they have already been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations such as SI, ac, and dc do not
have to be defined. Abbreviations that incorporate periods should not have spaces: write
“U.O.C.,” not “U. O. C.” Do not use abbreviations in the title unless they are unavoidable.
If you are using Word, use the Microsoft Equation Editor. Equations should be
separated from the text by a single spaced line.
Equations should be numbered with Arabic numerals within brackets, aligned to the
right on the last line of the equation (default tab stops at 15 cm), as in the following
examples:
(1)
and also,
E R T R T E w D
c w 1 1 E
E c e
w
w p p2
(2)
Be sure that the symbols in your equation have been defined before the equation
appears or immediately following. Italicize symbols (T might refer to temperature, but T is
the unit tesla). Refer to “(1),” not “Eq. (1)” or “equation (1),” except at the beginning of a
sentence: “Equation (1) is ... .”
4. CONCLUSIONS
References should be written at the end of the paper, after the text. When the text ends
at the bottom of a page, references should be written on a new page.

Number citations consecutively in square brackets [1]. The sentence punctuation
follows the brackets [2]. Multiple references [2], [3] are each numbered with separate
brackets [1]–[3]. When citing a section in a book, please give the relevant page numbers
[2]. In sentences, refer simply to the reference number, as in [3]. Do not use “Ref. [3]” or
“reference [3]” except at the beginning of a sentence: “Reference [3] shows ... .”
Please do not use footnotes. When necessary, a Notes section can be added at the
end of the document.
Please do not use Section Breaks.
Please note that the references at the end of this document are in the preferred
referencing style. Give all authors’ names; do not use “et al.” unless there are six authors or
more. Use a space after authors' initials. Papers that have not been published should be
cited as “unpublished” [2]. Papers that have been submitted for publication should be cited
as “submitted for publication” [3].
Capitalize only the first word in a paper title, except for proper nouns and element
symbols. For papers published in translation journals, please give the English citation first,
followed by the original foreign-language citation [8].
APPENDIX
Appendixes, if needed, appear before the acknowledgment.
5. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
This section is optional. Use the singular heading even if you have many
acknowledgments. Avoid expressions such as “One of us (S.B.A.) would like to thank ... .”
Instead, write “F. A. Author thanks ... .”
