Basic guidelines for papers
1. | The most important principle is that you make the text of your paper as plain as possible (no specific lay-out templates for paragraph headings etc.). PFigures and long tables should be placed in final pages, each in a new page. Mark in the text the place where they should be put. | |
2. | Please send us your text in RTF-format. If using Macintosh and special fonts, please let us know exactly which fonts are included, and if possible send them to us. | |
3. | The maximum is 4000 words, not exceeding 25.000 characters; 4000 words is an 'all-included' limit (bibliography, footnotes, examples, translations, summary, etc. included); papers of smaller size are, of course, most welcome as well. | |
4. | Please do not use « and » as quotation marks or SMALL CAPS (or ordinary CAPS) in your text for bibliographical references. | |
5. | Please use footnotes and not endnotes. Don't use footnotes for specifying bibliographic references (cf. 12 below). | |
6. | The title of the paper is to be followed by your name (please give full name and surname) and affiliation. | |
7. | The title is followed by a summary in English (regardless of the language in which your paper is written) of about 200 words. This summary is headed by the title "Summary". | |
8. | We would be grateful if you would not use an indent, but two blank lines, to mark the start of a new paragraph. The first paragraph of a new section need to be marked by three blank lines. | |
9. | Examples should not be part of the text, but separated by a blank line. All examples should be numbered consecutively throughout the text by means of Arabic numbers between brackets, which are placed at the left margin. | |
10. | In the body of the text, examples can be referred to by using the number of the example between brackets. | |
11. | When it is necessary to use one or more Latin words (or words from any other language than the one in which the paper is written) in the body of the text, they should be typeset in italics. | |
12. | Bibliographic references should not be given in full in the body of the text or in the footnotes, but in the last section, to be entitled "Bibliographic references". In the body of the text, you can refer to the study involved by means of the name of the author, followed by the year of publication, if necessary followed by page numbers. E.g.: "As Johnson (1975) has argued, ..." or "This construction is found already in Early Latin (cf. Johnson, 1975: 45-47)." | |
13. | The lay-out of the section Bibliographic references for books, articles in books and journals can be found in the following examples. Please do not use tabs or indents; use double quotes to mark the titles of articles in journals and books; titles of books and journals (no abbreviations, but full titles) should be in italics. | |
