Submissions

Author Guidelines

Requirements for the articles

Articles are published in Lithuanian and English.

Articles should not exceed 40,000 characters in length, while reviews should be at least 10,000 characters in length. Articles exceeding, or reviews falling short of, the recommended length should be discussed beforehand with the Editorial Board. Texts must be submitted in A4 format, “Times New Roman” 12-pt. font, and be one-and-a-half spaced (1,5).

Articles must meet standard academic requirements. These include a statement of the research purpose; an indication of the overall state of research with respect to the problem under analysis; a statement of the conclusions reached; and a disclosure of the sources and of the literature used. The text must include summaries (from 600 to 1,000 characters long) and keywords in both English and Lithuanian.

Footnotes consecutively numbered must be placed at the bottom of the page. The article must end with a bibliography.

Quotations are to be placed within double quotation marks without changing the font. In Lithuanian texts, non-Lithuanian personal names are written in the original language in accordance with the established rules for grammatically rendering foreign names (http:// www.vlkk.lt/aktualiausios-temos/svetimvardziai/gramatinimas/). On the first occasion of use in a text, the whole of a person’s name and surname is given. In Lithuanian texts, frequently used place names about which information is readily available in standard encyclopedias are to be rendered traditionally according to the way they are pronounced, whereas rare place names not having a transliteration are to be written in their original language.

At the end of the article the author(s) must indicate his, her, or their name(s) and surname(s), institution(s), academic degree(s), electronic address(es), and telephone number(s).

Notes and bibliography follow “The Chicago Manual of Style”.
