Instructions for figures, tables and graphs

Table entries must be presented as actual tables (lines and columns) rather than merely in the form of tabulations. Avoid excessively large tables (particularly width-wise).

Graphs must be presented as a Word image.

Figures and tables must be numbered in a continuous sequence, with figures in Arabic numerals and tables in Roman numerals. They must be presented in directly useable form.

Article selection procedure

The manuscripts sent to the journal are considered to be definitive.

The scientific committee appoints two researchers who are responsible for conducting a blind evaluation of the manuscript.

If necessary, the first proof is sent back to the author by e-mail for correction. The examiners reserve the right to request as many corrections as they judge necessary. The corrected proof must be returned to the journal by email only, within a maximum time limit of one month from when the request for corrections was sent. No author�s corrections may be made.

The paper copies of the manuscripts are not returned to the authors.

Ethics when submitting a text

The texts submitted for publication must not have been published already. They cannot be published simultaneously in other journals or proposed in parallel to other journals.

Copyright

Each author undertakes to accept the publication of his or her text on the website of the journal and, where applicable, in a paper version of this journal. Any later publication requires written authorisation from the editorial committee, as well as a mention of the previous publication in the journal.
