SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

• General information:
1. Acceptable file formats for submitted articles are Word (.doc or .docx) or Rich Text Format (.rtf).
2. The layout of the first page of the article and the first page of the review is presented in the attachment to this stylesheet.
3. Articles should be up to 40 000 characters (c. 8 000 words) with a summary in English and Polish (up to 3 000 characters each). Reviews should not exceed 1 000 words.
4. Articles should be accompanied with up to 6 key words referring to the key concepts discussed in the paper.
5. Authors are expected to provide a short biographical note (up to 100 words) containing information about their rank, affiliation, specialisation, and most significant publications or current academic interests. The biographical note should also contain a current e-mail address.

• Basic information about the text
1. The font used in the article should be Times New Roman (12 for the main text and 10 for the block quotes and footnotes). Bold should be used only for the title of the article and section headings. Italics should be used to mark emphasis. The entire manuscript should be double-spaced, including block quotes, notes, and footnotes.
2. Paragraphs should be intended by 1,25 cm.
3. Omissions in the quoted texts should be signalled with three periods placed in square brackets – […].

• Detailed information about the text
1. Upon first mention in the text, the person’s full name should be included; thereafter, only the surname should be used.
2. The titles of books and other documents should be written in italics. The titles of articles or book chapters should be written in inverted commas.
3. Citations from works written in languages using Slavonic Cyrillic alphabets (Belorussian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, and Ukrainian) as well as those in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, and other languages using non-Latin alphabets should be translated into English in the main text of the article. However, the bibliographical information in footnotes should be presented in the transliterated version of the given alphabet (with an optional data in the said alphabet included in the brackets).
4. we signal omissions in the quoted text with three dots in square brackets […].

• The spelling of names, surnames and other expressions describing people:
1. we use original spelling of names and surnames in the mother tongue of mentioned persons, alternatively we use a transcription with transliterated form, in nominative case, in brackets, e.g. Szewczenko [Ševcenko]. It does not apply to people universally recognized (e.g. Ovid, Shakespeare, Voltaire etc.), the rulers and saints. In case of a Polonized foreigner, Polish form can be used;
2. names of people mentioned for the first time in the text or narrative footnote’s fragment should be quoted in full reading. In other cases, name initials and surname or – particularly in relation to people known or often mentioned in the text – only a surname, e.g. Kościuszko, Mickiewicz, Miłosz. In bibliographical and archival descriptions one should always include solely name initials and a surname;
3. people mentioned in reviews should appear without scientific grades and titles. This rule does not apply to obituary notices in relation to the deceased;
4. In reviews, the word “author” should be capitalised when it refers to the author of the reviewed work.

• Quotations
1. Archives of Emigration follows the Chicago Manual of Style, 16th edition (2010).
2. If a quotation provided in the text is shorter than eight lines or 100 words, it should be enclosed by double quotation marks. If the quotation is longer than 100 words or eight lines, it should be displayed in an indented block without quotation marks. Block quote should be also used in case of poetry, letters, and groups or short quotations.
3. Citations should be provided in footnotes. If the work is mentioned for the first time, full citation is required. It consists of author’s name and surname, the title, the edition (if applicable), the place of publication, the name of the publisher and the year of publication (in brackets), and the page number, if available; for instance:
   

   Anu R. Kura, Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. 2nd ed. (Auckland: University Books, 2006), 78.

4. If the work is cited again, the shortened form should be used. The shortened form consists of author’s surname, the title (shortened if longer than four words), and the page number, if available; for instance:
   

   Kura, Teaching and Learning, 43.

5. When shortened references to the same work follow each other with no other references in between, the author’s name and title should be replaced with Ibid, followed by the page number if it differs from the previous citation.

• Bibliographic description
1. All sources included in the bibliography must be ordered alphabetically by surname of the first author or, when author is unidentified, by the title.
2. Works by the same author or authors should be listed chronologically. Works published by the same author in the same year should be listed alphabetically.
3. The name of the first author should be inverted.
4. The bibliography should be double spaced and hanging indents (1,25 cm) should be used for each entry. No lines should appear between references.
5. Titles for books, journals, and videos should be written in italics; however, the titles of articles and book chapters are not italicised – instead, they are put in double quotation marks.
6. major words in titles must be capitalised.
