Instructiuni pentru autori – varianta in limba romana

Instruction for Authors – English version

The journal publishes studies in English only. We recommend correcting the text by a native speaker of the source language, in the case of papers written in a language other than the mother language of the author/authors.

Only original, previously unpublished studies are accepted.

Papers will be submitted electronically .doc or .docx, to the address analeuosfas@gmail.com

All materials will be evaluated through a double blind review process.

Papers must be written using Times New Roman, single spacing, page A4, margins Normal (2.54 cm). Maximum admitted size is 10 000 words in the case of empirical studies, and 4000 words for reviews.

Papers must include:

  a title in English

  full names of the authors

  institutional affiliation of authors

  postal and e-mail address of the authors

  a summary in English of maximum 250 words

  4-6 keywords in English

We recommend structuring materials as follows: introduction, theoretical background, methodological section, presentation of results, discussion and conclusions, references. Chapters and sub-chapters will not be numbered. Do not use Styles for titles. The chapter titles will be formatted in Bold, and the sub-chapters in Bold & Italic.

Tables: should be numbered consecutively (1, 2 etc.) and contain a number and a brief legend placed before the table, as in the following example: Table 1: Xxx. If additional notes are needed, they will be placed immediately below the table. Formatting and styles will not be used for tables.

Graphics: All photos, graphics and diagrams will be accompanied by the name Figure and will be numbered consecutively (1, 2 etc). Legends and numbers must be placed directly in the figure. Multiple figures will be labeled with lowercase letters (1a, 1b etc). Explanatory texts with too small font must be avoided, and also the variation in text size in graphics. Figures must fit in the page of the journal.

Tables and figures will be inserted directly into the text and not at the end of the document.

Notes: Notes should be numbered consecutively, inserted as Footnotes and not at the end of the paper. Notes will be used only in case of further explanations, and not for citations and references.

Acknowledgments: thanks and appreciations will be inserted at the end of the paper.

References in the text: we accept only materials that use correctly bibliographic references. References will be placed between brackets (author surname, year, page or pages (if necessary).

Exemple: (Uslaner, 2009), (Sandholtz & Taagepera, 2005; Dreher, Kotsogiannis & McCorriston, 2007), (Torgler & Valev, 2006, p. 135; Greenwood, 2004, pp. 336-337). If there are more than three authors, only the first one must be mentioned in text, followed by “et al.” Example: (Klockars et al., 2000).

All in-text citations should have correspondence in the final list of bibliographic resources, and all entries in the reference list must have at least one correspondent in an in-text citation! Violation of this rule may result in the rejection of the manuscript.

BIBLIOGRAPHIC RESOURCES: the list must be placed in the chapter “References”. Editing and formatting bibliographic resources must respect the criteria used in the examples below:
