-References to printed journal articles. A
normal reference to a journal article
contains three changes of font (see table
6).
Reference to 1. Where the article has been published in a 3.
preprints journal and the preprint is supplementary
reference information. In this case it should be
presented as:

[1] Kunze K 2003 T-duality and Penrose limits

of spatially homogeneous and
inhomogeneous cosmologies Phys.
Rev. D 68 063517 (Preprint gr-
qc/0303038)
2. Where the only reference available is the
preprint. In this case it should be presented as
