Author Guidelines

Style Guide:

Contributors must provide their names and affiliations and e-mail addresses with their papers.

Summary and keywords must be in English. Authors for whom English is not a native language must have their manuscripts reviewed by a colleague who is fluent in English before submitting their manuscripts.

The Title should be informative but not longer than 15 words. Please supply a short title of up to 70 characters.

Name of the author(s). Give the full author(s) name(s). Institutional affiliation, ORCID and e-mail addresses must be keyed for each author. In case of more than one author, please indicate the email of the correspondent author.

Abstract & Keywords. The abstract (not exceeding 250 words) must be written in English, outlining concisely the main findings and major conclusions of the paper. Literature citations and figure references should not appear in the abstract. Include up to 8 keywords beneath the abstract for indexing purposes.

Text. Manuscripts should be typed (single spacing) on A4 paper (21 x 29.7 cm) leaving a margin of 4.8 cm (top and bottom) and 4 cm (left and right). Authors should use metric units. All pages should be numbered consecutively; illustrations and tables must be incorporated into the text or at the end of manuscript, with a list of illustrations or an appendix (for tables).

Book reviews should contain the name of the author and book reviewed, place of publication, publisher, year of publication, number of pages and illustrations if the case, and ISBN number. Book reviews would normally be maximum 1,000 words in length.

All references cited in the text should be given in the reference list except the case when footnotes are the preferred referencing system. The reference list should be arranged alphabetically and chronologically, with the authors always listed with their last (family) name first. Journal and book titles must be spelled out in full or abbreviated and cited in the text. Include diacritical marks (accents, umlauts etc.) in all titles and names. For books and articles with a non-English title, please translate them into English and mention in parentheses at the end of the reference the original language. (This is not necessary for Spanish, German, Italian or French titles).

Illustrations must be submitted in with a preferred resolution of 300 dpi and must be sized to the text width of 13 cm (B5 format). The numbering of the illustrations (e.g., Fig. 3) or (Pl. II, Fig. 1 or Figs. 3-5) must correspond to their order of appearance in the text.
