How to submit?

We accept contributions on floppy disks or via e-mail, preferable in MS Word 2000 format or in RTF or DOS-text formats. In all cases, please note the format or the language code on the label. If you do not speak Czech or Slovak, you can submit a paper in English. However, please note that we are able to publish translations only occasionally, depending on available financial resources and translators' capacities. Peer review would proceed before eventual publication in English.

Please add a brief author's biography (e.g., where you work, your area of study and research, publications etc. - 50-200 words) both in Czech/Slovak and English, the title of your contribution in English, and the full bibliography (see the example below). For contributions to the section Papers, please also include an English abstract.

We do not compensate contributions. We return the floppy diskettes only upon request. Authors may request the right to publish the texts in other publications from the editorial office.

Brief rules about the text layout and bibliography:

• Minimize the special text formatting (page format, fonts, margins etc.).
• Only the title of the article and subtitles of sections of the article should be in bold.
• Shorter quotations should be inlined and put in quotation marks; longer quotations should be placed in indented paragraphs.
• In case you use a more elaborate transcription conventions, add a legend on marks used. A printout should accompany the electronic version of the contribution.
• References should be written as follows:

"...Richards (1994) or Jones (1977:33) write about it ..."
"A number of authors dealt with this problem (Richards 1994; Jones 1977 etc.)."
