Information for authors:
Authors may offer papers for both parts of the journal, i.e. reviewed and non-reviewed, specifying which part they are intended for. Papers offered for the reviewed part will be assessed by the editorial board, which then decides whether reviews should be conducted; on the basis of these reviews it decides whether or not to include the paper in this section of the journal. If a paper is not accepted for the reviewed section of the journal it may propose printing it in abridged form in the non-reviewed part.
The editorial board will only accept previously unpublished papers submitted in electronic form. The author should attach a full contact address, including telephone number and e-mail address.
Formal requirements: The manuscript of an article for the peer-reviewed section (ideally structured as follows: abstract, introduction, current state of knowledge and references to expert literature, the issue under scrutiny and methods used, results, discussion, conclusion), with roughly 30,000 characters including spaces, must contain, as well as the text proper, an approx. 10–15-line abstract and keywords . Citations and bibliographic references must be complete and conform to the relevant standard. Charts and illustrations must be suited for black-and-white presentation (in Excel group column format, not spatial). Their source files must be attached as well. The editorial office proofreads the text and makes necessary linguistic alterations.
