Manuscript Preparation

Submitting Your Manuscript

Please submit your manuscript electronically as a Microsoft Word (.doc, .docx) file to [email protected]. If you are using another writing program, simply save or export your file as a Word document.

To ensure a fair and anonymous review process, include author names and affiliations in a separate file. The manuscript file itself should contain no identifying information.

General Manuscript Layout

A clear and well‑organized manuscript helps reviewers and readers follow your work more easily. We recommend beginning with your title and, if required, an abstract, followed by the main text, references, notes, and any tables or figures. Please make sure the file is clean and ready for review - free of tracked changes, comments, or leftover formatting.

Use consistent spelling and clear, readable English throughout. If helpful, you may choose to have your text reviewed or edited before submission, but this is entirely optional.

Length and Basic Formatting

To help us maintain a consistent reading experience, please follow these general guidelines:

• Maximum length: 50,000 characters (approx. 8,000 words)
• Single spacing; 12‑point Times New Roman
• Left‑aligned text with a ragged-right margin
• Indent the first line of each paragraph with one tab
• Use one line break between paragraphs
• Avoid decorative formatting, headers, and footers
• Use italics (and bold only when needed) for emphasis
• Use standard margins and avoid manual line breaks within paragraphs

Headings and Structure

Clear structure helps readers follow your argument. Please:

• Keep headings concise (up to 100 characters)
• Use simple formatting (bold or slightly larger text) to show heading levels
• Place major subheadings on their own line
• Place secondary subheadings at the start of a paragraph
• Do not number headings
• Ensure headings reflect the logical flow of the manuscript

Quotations

• Use double quotation marks for shorter quotations
• For longer quotations (over 300 characters), set them apart in an indented, italicized paragraph
• Ensure all quotations are accurate and properly cited
• Obtain permission for copyrighted material when required

Tables and Figures

• Place each table or figure on a separate page after the Reference List
• Number them in the order they appear (Table 1, Table 2; Figure 1, Figure 2)
• Include a brief, descriptive title for each
• Indicate placement in the text (e.g., “Insert Table 1 about here”)
• Ensure all tables and figures are referenced in the main text
• Create tables using Word’s table function; avoid images of tables
• Provide high‑quality image files if figures include graphics

References, Notes, and Citations

Citations Within the Text

Please use the journal’s standard citation format. Examples include:

• General reference: (Novak 1994)
• Specific pages: (Novak 1994, 7–8)
• More than three authors: (Novak et al. 1994)
• Same author, same year: (Kosec 1934a; Kosec 1934b)
• No publication date: (Novak n.d.)

Notes

Use notes only when essential. Mark them with superscript numbers in the text and collect them on a separate page at the end of the manuscript. Avoid using notes for simple clarifications that can be integrated into the main text.

Author Notes and Acknowledgements

Author notes should include full name, title, affiliation, and e‑mail address. Acknowledgements may mention funding, research assistance, or other support.

Reference List

List all works cited in the text alphabetically after the Notes section. Examples:

Review Procedures

All unsolicited submissions undergo double‑blind peer review, usually by two independent reviewers. The editor may decline manuscripts that fall outside the journal’s scope or standards without external review.
