Guidelines

General instructions for authors of papers

Please submit the text of your paper in MS Word 97 and higher versions and in .doc format. Use Times New Roman (or any other common font) for writing.
We must ask you to keep to a strict maximum of 20 standard pages (i.e. 1800 key depressions per page including spaces and footnotes), so the text does not exceed 36,000 key depressions in total.
The text is to be accompanied by a brief summary (200 characters) and an abstract, translated into English, 0.5-1 standard page in length (900-1800 characters). The text is to be supplemented by keywords in English and brief information on the author.
As for reviews and reports, again please keep to the prescribed maximum – reviews should not exceed three standard pages and reports 1.5 standard pages. Reviews and reports should also have limited notes and back matter.
The text may be accompanied by illustrated supplements, the selection of which is reserved for the editors. They are normally published in black and white.
Illustrated supporting material may be accepted in accordance with Charles University Faculty of Arts Publishers requirements in the form of photographs, high-standard printed originals and electronic images with appropriate definition (for guidance purposes: photographs 300 dpi, pen-and-ink drawings 1200 dpi) and without compression.
