Author Guidelines

Please send your texts via the OJS system or to the address schulzforum@terytoria.com.pl. The editorial office of Schulz/Forum accepts new submissions on a continuous basis. The authors are not required to pay a fee for their paper to be published.

Authors are kindly asked to follow the editorial guidelines below:

• Texts should be prepared in Times New Roman, 12 points, 1.5 line spacing, in .rtf, .doc or .docx format.
• In printouts authors do not need to mark paragraph indentations (they will be done automatically by the typesetting program).
• Letter-spacing (tracking) should be marked by underlining the word or passage; spacing will be added at the typesetting stage (in Polish letter-spacing is used for for emphasis).
• In printouts, typographic formatting of the text does not need to be done, i.e. specifying the typeface and size of the font in titles, subheadings, etc. Correct styles will be introduced at the composition stage.
• Quotations are made in the size of the basic letter, in quotation marks, usually in sequence (multi-paragraph citations are an exception).
• Cited poems: basic font size, without quotation marks, top and bottom spacing, footnote reference after a period, exclamation mark, or question mark. Quoted lines will be centered at the typesetting stage, there is no need to mark centering on printouts.
• If you cite the original language version of the line below the quoted line, you insert a blank line and then put the original text in square brackets. You use the same solution when the cited poem appears in a foreign language and its philological translation is given in brackets.
• Italics should be used in: a) foreign words and expressions, in addition to those already accepted, including longer passages in foreign languages, with the exception of poems; b) titles of books, musical and art works, films (both in Polish and in a foreign language).
• Roman type should be used in: a) titles of journals, in quotation marks; b) titles of parts, chapters and subsections of books referred to in the text; please put them in quotation marks; c) the names of religious texts and their parts, for example: the Bible, the Old Testament, the Book of Genesis, the Song of Songs, as well as abbreviations referring to individual parts of the Bible (abbreviations may have the form adopted in the Millennium Bible or in another cited edition; you can use also generally accepted Latin abbreviations); d) if the entire text is italicized then the Roman type acts as an emphasis; the exception is a live page in italics: if there is a title of a song in the text of a live page, you should distinguish it with quotation marks; e) in the case of lines cited within the main text, you should mark the division into lines with a slash; you should leave spaces on both sides (eg “Formerly / we know from history / it left the body / when the heart stopped”).
• At the end of the sentence, you should use the following sequence of characters: quotation marks, footnote reference, period (note: in the cited poems, you should put the footnote reference after the full stop).
• Numerals: a) if possible, write them down in words; b) you should not write: 19th-century, 5-year, but: 19th-century, five-year; c) we number the ages with Roman numerals, e.g. 19th century; d) “the eighties”, etc. are always written in words; e) put a dash (–) between numbers, not a hyphen (-): 1997–1998, no spaces.
• Abbreviations such as “np.”, “m.in.”, “św.”, “r.”, “w.” and others, should be written in full, especially in the main text.
• Omissions in the quoted passages are marked with an ellipsis enclosed in square brackets.
• The quotation inside another quotation should be marked with Guillemets (« »).
• Full names (and not the initials) of people referred to in the main text should be used.
• Authors should check the correctness of citations and bibliographic addresses.
