  • 6000-10000 words
  • The articles must be written with TIMES NEW ROMAN, 12 points, line spacing 1,5.
  • For quotations please use the following quotation signs: “….”. For a quotation within a quotation: «……» ; quotations that are longer than three lines are to be block-quoted as paragraphs and indented, without quotation marks, written with at 11 points; sentence punctuation marks and quotations: “quoted fragment,” “quoted fragment.”

  • For books consulted online, include a URL or the name of the database. For other types of e-books, name the format. If no fixed page numbers are available, cite a section title or a chapter or other number in the notes, if any (or simply omit).
  • It is often sufficient simply to describe web pages and other website content in the text (“As of May 1, 2017, Yale’s home page listed . . .”). If a more formal citation is needed, it may be styled like the examples below. For a source that does not list a date of publication or revision, include an access date (as in example note 2).
  • Abbreviation op.cit. is not allowed.
  • The article needs no bibliographic list at the end.
