Manuscript Guidelines

Authors are requested to submit their papers electronically (by using the e-mail address <kulturnedejiny@ku.sk>). This journal has adopted at least a double blind reviewing policy. The papers will be published only if approved by the editorial board.

File format:
Files should be submitted in one of the following formats: .doc, .docx, .rtf.

Editing instructions:
Times New Roman font (size of the basic text, 12 points), without formatting (A4, left-aligned text, single spacing, without tabs, indentations, etc.). If you require a special graphic layout of your text, please deliver one such version of your paper in PDF format (according to your requirements) and one standard version.

Length of papers:
Papers should not exceed 40 standard pages. We recommend 15–25 standard pages (A4). We recommend a range of reviews 10,000 – 15,000 characters, including spaces. We recommend a range of annotations and brief notices 4,000 – 6,000 characters, including spaces.

Article structure:

Use a logical article structure (introduction, chapters, conclusion). Avoid, however, a detailed structure of the paper. Footnotes are compulsory (10 points). The list of used sources and literature should be included at the end of the paper.

Inserting images and illustrations:
All figures – images, schemes, tables, etc., should be delivered as separate files in .tiff or .jpg format. Their location in the text should be indicated (a blank line, a line marked as “Figure X, etc.”). Text descriptions must be provided for all images. The images should be delivered in print quality, i.e. at least 300 dpi resolution, postcard size 10×15 cm. Quality lower than 100 dpi will not be accepted. Size of figures may be reduced.
