Author Guidelines
Thank you for choosing Slavica to publish your article. The publisher does not charge the authors a publication fee, and neither does it pay the many royalties. Please use the following instructions to ensure that your paper matches the journal’s requirements.
Structure of Submissions for Publication
Mandatory structural elements include: the title of the work in Russian, English, and German; the dates of submission and acceptance for publication; an abstract in Russian, English, and German (each with a maximum length of 2,000 characters); and keywords in all three languages (3–5 items each). The author’s text is written in the chosen publication language.
The main text must include a bibliography (listing only works actually cited), in which items sourced from online materials must indicate the DOI of the referenced work. A DOI identifier, copyright notice, and license type icon must be displayed on the title page.
Following the bibliography, the article must include a mandatory section entitled Declaration on the Use of AI. The template for this declaration is provided under the Ethical Guidelines section.
After the declaration, the final structural unit is the author affiliation, provided in English. This includes the author’s surname and given name in internationally standardized order, institutional affiliation, or—in the case of PhD students—the name of the doctoral school, city, country, the institutional email address, as well as the ORCID identifier.
The total length of the manuscript must not exceed 35,000 characters including spaces. Technical formatting requirements are specified in the section Author Guidelines.
– The author should specify the topic of the paper (Linguistics, Literary Studies, Cultural Studies, Scholarly Criticism);
– The submission file can be sent in any editable textfile, preferably .docx and .rtf. The author should attach any additional fonts used in the text;
– The margins should be set as: top and bottom – 5cm, left and right – 4cm;
– The font should be Times New Roman and its size should be 11pt;
– The line spacing should be set to simple.
– References and citations on the quoted sources should be in squarebrackets, in which are shown the surname of the author in small caps, the year of publication and the number of the page, e.g. [Austin 1971: 66]. If there are two authors there is an en dash between their surnames [Borkovskij–Kuznecov 1963: 66–85]; and if there are more than two authors, only the first one is shown with ‘et al.’ [Notten et al. 2013: 66], in Russian ‘и др.’ [Рубинштейн и др. 1998: 226].
– The notes should be enumerated and placed in the document footer.
– In the Bibliography are shown only the sources used in the text in the following way:
