  2. The manuscript should not exceed 40000 characters incl. spaces; this also includes footnotes, bibliography, tables, and summaries.
  3. Text formatting:
  • article title – centered, bold type, font type: Times New Roman, font size: 14;
  • text of the article – font type: Times New Roman, font size: 12, spacing: 1,5;
  • paragraph indent: 1 cm (use the automatic Paragraph formatting function of your word processing program, do NOT use the tab and/or space keys);
  • no double spacing between paragraphs;

  • pages numbered in the bottom right-hand corner (option: Insert →Page number;
  • for texts to be set in columns, use tables with invisible borders (do NOT use the Column option).
  1. Bellow the article title:
  • insert a 100-120 word abstract in Polish and five key words in Polish;
  • for texts in Polish insert: article title and keywords in English and Russian,
  • for texts in Russian insert article title and keywords in English and Polish,

  2. Quotes longer than three lines should be in blockquote, left indent:1 cm, font: Times New Roman 11, spacing: 1.
  3. To shorten a quote (when extracting a fragment) use an ellipsis (Ctr + Alt + dot; on a numeric keyboard: Alt + 0133) in square brackets; an ellipsis is a separate punctuation mark (do NOT use three dots).
  4. In the main text, when a surname is used for the first time, it is to be used with the full given name.
  5. The main text should be followed by bibliography (bibliographic entries should follow the model given below).

  7. The file should be titled as follows: text-[title of article].

NOTES

  1.

  6. In bibliographic notes, the titles of editorially dependent publications (articles) should be written in simple font and included in inverted commas; titles of self-standing publications and periodicals should be written in italics.
  7. For more than four authors, write the surname and the given name of the first one and replace the remaining authors by “et al.” (in bibliography: for eleven and more authors write the surname and the given name of the first oner and replace the remaining authors by “et al.”).
  8. In footnotes, do not use “Ibid., op cit., loc. cit., idem, eadem”.
  9. For English titles, subtitles (including subtitles following the semicolon), titles of chapters, and titles of subchapters the first letters of every word must start with a capital letter, with the exception of:
  • articles (a, an, the);
  • prepositions (against, as, between, in, of, on, to);
  • coordinating conjunctions (and, but, for, neither/nor, either/or, so, yet);

  1. For Polish titles keep the original spelling:


    Zygmunt Bauman, Ciało i przemoc w obliczu ponowoczesności (Toruń: Wydawnictwo UMK, 1995), 25.

  1. The shortened version of the title should include the key word(s); the initial a, an, the should be omitted; the word order should not be changed (for example, A Sportsman’s Sketches will be shortened to Sportsman’s Sketches; What We Talk About When We Talk About Love can be shortened to What We Talk About or Talk About Love); the shortened title should not be followed by the elision mark; titles consisting of up to four words will rarely be shortened.

  3. If a DOI has been assigned to a publication, it must be provided in the footnotes; the DOI should be in the form of an active hyperlink to be placed at the end of the publication’s description, e.g.:

    Aleksandra Więcek-Gigla, „Rewolucje Mieczysława Szczuki”, Śląskie Studia Polonistyczne, nr 2 (16) (2020): 1–10, https://doi.org/10.31261/SSP.2020.16.01.
