Abstract: These guidelines are provided for preparation of papers accepted for publication in the proceedings the ICA Joint Workshop “Cartography connecting schools”. These guidelines are issued to ensure a uniform style throughout. All papers that are accepted by the relevant scientific committee of an ICA event will be published provided they arrive by the due date and they correspond to these guidelines. Reproduction is made directly from author-prepared manuscripts, in electronic or hardcopy form, in A4 paper size 297 mm x 210 mm (11.69 x 8.27 inches). To assure timely and efficient production of the publications with a consistent and easy to read format, authors must submit their manuscripts in strict conformance with these guidelines. The ICA may omit any paper that does not conform to the specified requirements.

2.	Title and abstract 
2.1	Title
The title should appear left-aligned in bold letters, at the top of the first page of the paper with a size of twelve (18) points and single-spacing. After one blank line, type the author(s) name(s) (12pt), affiliation and mailing address (including e-mail) (9pt), left-aligned under the title. In the case of multi-authorship, group them by firm or organization as shown in the title of these Guidelines.
2.2	Abstract
Type "Abstract:" in bold letters, followed by a concise abstract (100–250 words) which presents briefly the content and very importantly, the news and results of the paper in words understandable also to non-specialists. 
2.3	Keywords
Leave two lines blank, then type "Keywords:" in bold letters, followed by 2–5 key words. Please us those key words which you would use to find a paper with content you are preparing.
3.	Main body of text (heading 1)
Main headings are in 11 pt, left-aligned and in bold letters. The spaces before and after the headings are already included in the format, thus, not extra blank lines are necessary. Use decimal numbering for headings and subheadings. This numbering is also integrated in the format specifications.
3.1	Subheading (heading 2)
Major headings are in 10pt, left-aligned, and in bold letters. 
3.1.1	Subsubheadings (heading 3)
Subsubheadings are to be typed 10pt and in italics. 
3.2	Footnotes
Mark footnotes in the text with a number. Place footnotes at the bottom of the page, separated from the text above it by a horizontal line.
3.3	Illustrations and Tables
3.3.1	Placement 
Figures must be placed in the appropriate location in the document, as close as practicable to the reference of the figure in the text. While figures and tables are usually aligned horizontally on the page, large figures and tables sometimes need to be turned on their sides. If you must turn a figure or table sideways, please be sure that the top is always on the left-hand side of the page. Alternatively, large figures can also be placed in one column.  
3.3.2	Captions 
All captions should be typed in 9pt, left-aligned directly beneath the illustration. If they use more than one line 0.8 spacing is used. All captions are to be numbered consecutively, e.g. Figure 1, Table 2, Figure 2.
