EXTENDED FORMATTING GUIDELINES
Papers must be submitted with an abstract of no more than 200 words and with a list of key words not less than five. See the articles in the journal for formatting of the abstract and key words. For the rest of the article you may follow APA format (for social sciences loosely defined as sociology, psychology, archeology, anthropology and social psychology). For the articles in humanities (philosophy, history, and philosophical psychology) we prefer the Chicago Manuel of Style latest edition. However, we may ask for slight changes in certain cases. Please follow the format given below with extensive samples:
- Paper size A 4;
- Margins: 2.5 cm. from all sides; footer – header margins 1,25 cm
- Font: Times New Roman, size 12
- Spacing: 1.5 space
- Paragraph: First line by 0.7 cm; after 6 pt.
- Justified from all sides.
Headings
The Main Heading: All capitals, bold, centered, single space but double space after it, then begin the first paragraph without indentation.
The Subheadings: We use the same format as the main heading.
The sub-subheadings: First letters capital, bold, single space before the first paragraph with 0.7 cm indentation.
The rest of the sub-sub-subheadings are the same as the sub-subheading.
Quotations
If the quotation exceeds three lines, then it should be indented by 2 cm as a separate paragraph with no quotation marks, and single space with font size 10 should be used; otherwise it will be given in the main text with quotation marks and font size 12.
Footnotes
- Font: Times New Roman, size 10
