Instructions for authors

Editorial criteria

We kindly ask you to consider the following editorial criteria:

● Articles in any Romance language or English, with a length of 20,000-30,000 characters (including spaces and notes), after linguistic editing, should be submitted as an attachment (Word format).

● In a separate file, please provide the author's biography in English (up to 1,000 characters).


Article

● Preferably .doc file format, Times New Roman font, single spacing, justified text on both sides.

● Font size:

  • 11 - continuous text and headers
  • 10 - examples and quotations, as well as bibliography
  • 9 - footnotes at the bottom of the page and text in tables

● First line indentation: 0.5 cm. Please refrain from using formatted indents and spaces. Minimize unnecessary formatting

● The title of the article, abstract (400-800 characters including spaces), and keywords in English should precede the text


Recension

The above editorial guidelines also apply to writing reviews. Contributions in a Romance language or English, with a length between 10,000 and 20,000 characters (including spaces and notes), revised by a native French speaker, should be submitted as a Word file.

A review of a scientific work, published within the last two years, must correspond to the profile of the journal. It cannot be limited to a commentary on the content of the work in question but must also present a thorough critical analysis that takes into account current research.

In-text references to cited works should be enclosed in parentheses, like so: (Świątkowska 2000: 21).
