guidelines for authors

The manuscripts should be submitted to the review's e-mail-adress: Revista.Alea@gmx.net, in any text format (preferably Word documents compatible with Mac and Windows), using „Time New Roman“ 12 point font for the main text and 10 point font for the footnotes. Authors should use 1-1/2 spacing between lines. Articles will not exceed 10000 words and book reviews will not be longer than 2000 words. The articles must also include an abstract in the language they were written and in English (between 80 and 100 words). The only extraordinary typeface allowed in papers and reviews is the cursive or italics with underlying function or used to write the title of cited books. Authors should not use paragraph indentions. It will also not be permitted the use of symbols to separate paragraphs or sections. Chapters, sections, titles and subtitles should be differentiated using only arabic numerals (1, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1,...). The manuscripts which need to include any symbol (greek characters or formulas, for instance) must be also sent to the Editors in PDF format. All the notes should be footnotes.
