6. Footnotes placed on the same text-page should be numbered consecutively using the upper index and their text should contain references to respective sources (cited in the same manner as text references to the bibliographic entries).
7. Citations are to be quoted literally, word for word (including eventual mistakes in the original text followed by sic written in brackets) and always between quotation marks. If a part of the citation is to be omitted, insert round brackets with three dots inside.

Technical guidelines

1. The manuscripts have to be created in the MS Word text editor or other compatible one and should have the file format denoted by file extension .doc or .rtf. The authors should use font size 12 (points), 1,5 size vertical spacing and 2,5cm offset on both sides. The pages are to be be numbered at the bottom, in the centre.
2. Words at the end of the line should not be divided and aligned. “Hard-set” line ending (using the ENTER key) is to be used only to end a paragraph or title and subtitle.
3. To emphasize a particular text segment italic font should be used, bold or underlined types are to be avoided.
4. Internet links should not be copied off the web browser but rewritten as text.
5. Illustrations – all documentary material (photographs, diagrams, drawings, sketches, maps) have to be submitted electronically. Each illustration should form a separate file with an appropriate identifier: (fig. 1). Acceptable image / bitmap file illustration formats are as follows: TIFF, JPEG, BMP, GIF, EPS, PSD (minimum resolution of color illustrations is 300dpi while image width is at least 9 cm, in black and white or shades-of-gray illustrations the advisable resolution is up to 600dpi while image width is at least 9 cm). Acceptable vector graphics formats: AI, EPS, PDF, WMF, CDR. The editor’s office does not accept illustrations pasted in the MS Word application. If the author wishes to include illustrations with insufficient resolution (no better resolution key images are available), he/she is advised to do so only after consulting the editor’s office. The illustrations should be sent electronically (by open journal system, e-mail, online e-disk electronic package delivery etc.) or on a CD together with the text part, in the above-mentioned resolution and format. References to all illustrative documentary material have to be inserted in the text in the following format: (fig. 1, fig. 2 etc.). File names of the individual image files on the CD have to correspond to the respective reference in the text (fig1.tiff). Illustration captions and legends are to be submitted in a separate file.
6. Tables and graphs should be submitted in an electronic form as separate files. Ideally they are to be submitted in the form of vector graphics files (AI, EPS, PDF, CDR), or possibly as bitmap graphics files (tiff, jpeg) with high resolution. Tables in the form of separate MS Excel and MS Word program files are also acceptable. References to tables and graphs in the text have to be in the following format: (tab. 1), (graph 1). File-names of the appropriate files on the CD have to bear the same marking as is given in the text (tab1.xls). Table and graph captions are to be submitted in a separate file.
7. In the case of illustrations, tables and graphs whose authorship is different from the author of the contribution, the name of the author of the graphics, or if need be the original source should be duly acknowledged (in the form of full citation reference listed as a full bibliographic entry in the literature list; in the captions accompanying the photographs and/or drawings, due credit to the author is mandatory): … Source: Boas 2010, 12. ...
