Author Guidelines

OJS guide for Reviewers | OJS guide for Authors

We publish mostly in Polish, but we accept papers in Czech, Slovak and English. Abstracts and key words are in English and in the language of a specific paper.

The level of compliance of the text with editorial guidelines accepted for the JUE is one of the criteria of the reviewer’s assessment.  
Formatting:
• Text length: 30.000 characters including spaces (NOTE: including footnotes, bibliography and abstracts);

• Please submit two versions of your text: (a) a version bearing the author’s data: name and surname, affiliation and ORCID identification (number) placed in the upper left-hand corner, and (b) an anonymous version, with all data and references enabling identification removed from the title of the text file, titles of illustration files, the text of the paper and footnotes.

• Author’s personal data: name and surname, the affiliation and ORCID ID in the upper left corner;

• Abstract and key words in English and in Polish, after the title, max. 1000 characters each language version;

• References to literature exclusively t in the main text, e.g. (Geertz 2005: 31).

• Footnotes numbered with Arabic numerals. In English-language texts, footnote numbers are placed after the punctuation mark (with the exception of the long dash);

• Bibliography at the end of the article;

• Page numbers in the lower right corner;

• A note on the author (name and surname, specialism, degree, place of work, research interests, address for correspondence and e-mail address) after the bibliography;

• File formatted in the .doc or .rtf (Rich Text Format); both types are available in the MS-Word word processor;

• Font: Times New Roman; font size – in the article: 12 points; in abstracts and key words: 11 points; in footnotes: 10 points;

• Interline spacing– in the article: 1.5 line, in the abstracts and footnotes: 1 line;

• Margins – 2.5 cm;

• Title: font size 14, formatted in bold script, not in capitals!

• New paragraph should begin with an indentation;

• Upper quotation marks should be used, e.g. “count”;

• Short quotations should be written in an ordinary font and put in double quotation marks. Quotation inside a quotation should be put in single quotation marks: “… ‘…’ …”. Long quotations should be formatted in font size (11 points), with a single interline space, and formatted in a block with an indentation on the left, without quotation marks;)

• Spacing: use single spacing throughout; do not put a space after an opening parenthesis and before a closing parenthesis: (ethnology); the same with quotation marks: “ethnology”;

• Dashes: use the hyphen (“short dash”) to connect words (e.g. black-and-white; 20th-century) and the long dash instead of commas to mark an insertion of additional information (e.g. the terms ethnology and anthropology can be – and often are – applied);

• Foreign-language terms should be written in italics (e.g. sui generis, Formschneider);

• Sections in the text: in requited by text structure, use section titles (font size 12 points, formatted in bold script, not in capitals!).
