Guidelines for Submissions

Authors Guidelines

The contributions must be in one of the following languages: English, French or German, with a short abstract (approx. 100 words) and keywords written in English. The main text of contributions should not exceed 10,000 words.
When submitting your work please supply the following information:

  • Disclosure indicating whether or not this submission has already been published in any other language or in any other publication. Give details.
  • Title (and subtitle) of the submission.
  • Names, academic degrees, affiliations, and e-mail addresses of all authors.
  • Name, address, e-mail, telephone number and fax number of the corresponding author
  • Source of funding/ acknowledgments, if applicable. Acknowledgments should be placed at the end of the contribution, just before references list.
  • Brief abstract (100 words or less). (The abstract or summary should also appear in the attachment which contains the main text of your submission.)
  • Keywords or keyword phrases. Please list up to ten (10) words or phrases describing the subject content of your contribution.
  • Brief listing of all attachments, including information about their formats.
  • Please send your work in Times New Roman, 12, double space. Please do not insert any indent!

We ask authors to provide notes and comments as footnotes within the flow of the text, generally at the bottom of the page. In case your notes contain charts, tables, long equations, or other tems that make a footnote impractical, you can include this information in an appendix or as an endnote. The references should be cited in the text. No full length bibliographic references should appear in the main text of the submission. All references should be placed at the end of the submission.

References

List all sources cited in the text in a section at the end titled “References”. Place them in alphabetical order, and do not number them. Include all authors’ names.
A citation of a reference places both the name and the date within parentheses, with no punctuation between them: (Mureşan 2007). For author – page citation  please use: (Mureşan 2007: 78).

For works with two authors, use the full form of the citation at all times. For three or more authors, use the first author’s surname followed by “et al. ” for all citations. When two or more works by the same author are cited together, do not repeat the name(s). Separate the dates by commas: (Bolovan 1999, 2005). With more than one reference to an author in the same year, distinguish those works by attaching lower case letters (a, b) to the year of publication: (Bolovan et al. 2005a, 2005b).
