Guidelines for authors

 The following must be included in the paper: the title of the paper, author’s name and surname, academic or professional status, as well as the name and address of the author’s place of work or home address, including e-mail address.

 The text is to be typed in Times New Roman, font size 12pt (footnotes font size 10pt)., regular style, alignment justified, single spaced, with one-line space between paragraphs.

 

Tables and graphs are to be inserted in their proper location in the text.

 

The following format of “double quotation marks”, and 'single quotes' should be used. Giving emphasis should be avoided (italic, bold, underlined, lowercase capitals), particularly in combination with double quotation marks (i.e. never “double quotation marks”).

 

 Latin terms and abbreviations should always be written in italic lowercase (op.cit., ibid.). Numbers denoting footnotes are never italicised (²), and if they are located at the end of the sentence, they are placed after the period (.²).

 

The papers should not exceed 6000 words

 

Citation Formats

When citing the first time, a full bibliographic reference must be provided containing the following information: author(s) name(s), title, publisher, place and date of publication, and the page number(s) to which they refer. All publications should include the surname followed by the initials of the author’s first name(s) (the names of different authors are to be separated by a semicolon); the title of the work should be italicised (book and article titles), whereas different data are to be separated only by commas and always in the same order.

 

 Footnotes

Font 10pt is used for writing footnotes. Paragraph indent is set to 0.3pt with single spacing, and line spacing at 0.3pt.
