Author Guidelines

Submission Process 

Papers submitted for publication are initially considered by the joint editors. After the initial evaluation, papers will be read by at least two independent reviewers or returned directly to the author for revision. Note, that the journal does not consider manuscripts that are already published, are under review by other journals or as parts of a monograph or edited volume. The editors are available to authors for consultation prior to the formal submission.

Article Length

Articles should have 6,000 to 8,000 words including footnotes, tables, captions and references.

Submission format

Manuscripts are to be submitted through the online submission system. All manuscripts should incorporate the following parts in their order as indicated below.

(1) Abstract

(2) Keywords

(3) Main text with footnotes

(4) References

(5) Tables and figures with caption(s) on individual page(s)

(6) Appendix

The paper should not contain any information on the author(s). It is the author(s)’ responsibility to ensure the anonymity of the paper. Before submission, please check the main text and footnotes carefully to make sure that they provide no information with regards to your identity, including references to your previous publications (which should be in given in the third person). Please, do not include acknowledgements in your submission. Authors of accepted papers will be asked to provide a short bio and acknowledgements AFTER the review process.

The research questions, key argument(s), methodology and main findings should be outlined in an abstract of 150-200 words. The Abstract should differ from the opening paragraph of the article.

Four to six keywords should follow the Abstract.

Titles, subtitles and headings should be short. Throughout the manuscript, headings are to be numbered.

All tables and figures should have titles. Source(s) should be indicated in a note under the table or figure. Tables and figures are to be numbered separately (e.g. Table 1, Figure 1) and placed at the end of the manuscript, each on a separate page with a clear indication in the text as to their placement (e.g. [Table 1 here]).

Manuscripts should be prepared using MS Word 2007 or higher with Times New Roman 10 point font and double spacing. Footnotes and references should be double spaced. The full text (including headings) should be left aligned. Authors are kindly asked not to use justified paragraphs and paragraph spacing. Headings should be numbered manually. Do not use the footer and the header. Pages should not be numbered.

Tips for ensuring anonymity

1) Delete your name from the text as Author or Reviewer.

2) Do not refer to yourself and your work in first person.

3) Do not include acknowledgement in the main document, as they can give away your identity, your affiliation etc.

4) Using MS Word, author identification should also be removed from the properties. For more information on removing hidden data and personal information from the document visit

Style

- Authors should engage only authors and references relevant to their topic.

- Please avoid excessive jargon and use a readable style.

- If acronyms are used, they should be explained when they first appear in the text.

- Please use plural pronouns or the passive form instead of he/she if possible.

- For emphasis, use italics, but please keep them to a minimum.

- Please do not use bold or underline. Use italics for title of books, newspapers or novels when they appear in the main text.

- Write numbers under 10 in full.

- Use “per cent” in the text; the “%” sign should only be used in tables.

- Authors are asked to use American or British spelling consistently throughout the manuscript.

- Please apply single quotes instead of quote marks.

- The Journal prefers footnotes rather than endnotes, which should be kept to a minimum.

 

Citation, quotation

In-text citations should follow the model: (Author(s), year).

Examples:

1)      one author: (Hall, 2011).

2)      two authors: (Rogstad and Midtbøen, 2010).

3)      more than two authors: (Mazzoleni et al., 2003).

4)      more than one study: (Rydgren and Holsteyn, 2004; Eatwell, 2005; Bos et al., 2010).

5)      one author with page number: (Hall, 2011: 49)

 

Direct quotations should be placed within single inverted commas except for a quotation within a quotation which should be placed within double inverted commas. They should follow the model: (Author(s), year: page number); otherwise for the number of authors and studies the same rules are applied than for in-text citations.

Example: ‘urgent and exceptional measures to deal with the threat’ (Buzan and Wæver, 2003: 491).

Please apply these basic style points before sending in the final version of your article. Use only the Latin alphabet (with accents and other extended characters) and the transliterated version of names, places, titles into Latin alphabet, e.g. Kuljić (from Serbian) or Tsimouris (from Greek).
