Author Guidelines
Sending the text and checking its status is possible only when you are logged in.
Authors are obliged to follow the instructions:
1. The text should be written in WORD (97- ) format with either *.doc or *.rtf extension, with the preferred length of 30 000 characters. All the special fonts eg. Greek or Hebrew, should be sent by the authors.
2. Font: Times New Roman 12 points.
3. Line spacing: 1,5.
4. We ask that all authors provide their affiliation, e-mail address and ORCID number. The submitted text should be anonymized in a Word file, otherwise it will not be accepted.
5. Each article should include: abstract (in English and in the language of the paper, if it is written in a different laguage); key words (in English and in the language of the paper, if it is written in a different laguage); author's contribution to the article; introduction; numbered chapters and subchapters (subsections) of the type: 1. Chapter title, 1.1. Subchapter title, 1.2. Subchapter title, 1.2.1. Title of the next subchapter, etc.; conclusion; bibliography
• Abstract should consist of 200-250 words (about 600 characters) and summarize the main points of the article;
• key words should not consist of the words used in the title of the article (min 3 max 6 words);
• bibliography at the end of the article, alphabetically, including surnames.
6. Information of the funding sources (at the beginning of the article, in the first footnote).
7. Neither bald nor underline should be used to highlight the words; expanded only.
8. Block quotation (5 lines or more) - font: 11 points, line spacing: 1, paragraph indent on the left.
9. Author-Date: Sample Citations
Footnotes (if necessary, but it is best to avoid this form of references; references should be in the main text of the article).
The following examples illustrate citations using the author-date system. Each example of a reference list entry is accompanied by an example of a corresponding parenthetical citation in the text.
