INSTRUCTION’S FOR AUTHORS
We would kindly ask you for:
Text file in .doc, .docx or .rtf format only.
Margins: Microsoft Word standard (2.5 cm).
Main body: Times New Roman font, font size 12, line spacing 1.5. Please justify the text and insert page numbers (bottom of the page, in the middle).
After the name and surname of the author, please provide the affiliation (name of university/ workplace) and the country. Do not place a dot after the title of the paper.
After the title, please provide keywords in English and the language of text.
Separate words with one space only.
FOOTNOTES:
a) please use FOOTNOTES (not endnotes)
b) Times New Roman font, 10-point, line spacing 1.0
c) Do not use MLA citation format
d) Insert the number of the footnote in the main body of the text before punctuation marks. Example: garden1. NOT: garden.1
e) Please do not indent either the first or all lines of the note
In the main body of the text set indentation by use of tabulation (automatical). Do not use additional spacing between paragraphs.
Mark all text distinctions by means of sparse print (do not use bold type or italics). Example: direction
Use italics to mark the words in the other language than article’s language.
For quotations do not use italics, do not alter the font size, and do not insert additional line spacing to break it away from the main body of the text. Please include the quotations in the text, and distinguish them only by adding quotation marks and footnotes. Example: “Warsaw is the capital city of Poland”. Exception: block quotations (longer than 4 lines) from poetic texts.
Give full pagination numbers of quoted pages: e.g. 127-128, NOT: 127-8.
In footnotes use the abbreviation op. cit. with italics.
When mentioning a real person for the first time, please provide their full name (names).
Provide titles of magazines or publishing cycles and series in inverted commas and without italics. Provide all other titles (including titles of paintings, pictures, films, video games, magazine articles, atlases, dictionaries, encyclopaedias) in italics, without inverted commas.
When mentioning for the first time works translated from other languages, please provide – if possible – the original title, date of its publication, and the date of the publication of the English edition in parentheses. Example: Invasion of the Sea (L’invasion de la mer, 1905, Engl. 2001). When providing the title of the film, add the original title, the name of the director, the country and date of production. E.g. Marriage Italian Style (Matrimonio all' italiana, dir. V. De Sica, Italy/France 1964).
Please provide full titles of all quoted works – along with the subtitles.
Please use […] as a mark of excluding a portion of a text, NOT (…). Use square brackets for your own additional remarks e.g. [emphasis J.D.], [trans. J.D.].
Do not use […] at the beginning or at the end of a quotation unless it is justified (e.g. poetry).
Please differentiate between a hyphen (-) and a dash (–).
When mentioning the editor of a given work use “ed.”.
In references provide the name of the publisher, place and year of publication and the page numbers appropriate to the quotation.
If the place of publication is not provided in the work, please give the name of the publisher and the page numbers only.
In references give initials of names instead of full names – the same applies to translators, editors etc.
Do not insert spaces between the initials.
In reference works give the information on the page numbers with p. (not pp.).
