Abstract
The purpose of the abstract is to summarize the purpose, scope, methods, results, and conclusions reached. Use of nontechnical language is recommended for the abstract, since many people referencing abstracts are not technically familiar with the paper’s topic. The abstract is complete if it is able to stand alone and adequately describe the paper by providing just enough background information to make the results understandable. Normally an abstract should only be 100–250 words long. The abstract in English are required. Each of them must have no more then 250 words.
Keywords
The purpose of keywords is to provide a very rapid classification for the author’s paper. Keywords should be synonyms and closely related words relative to the paper’s topic and classification. The keywords (5-6 keywords) should follow the abstract without a blank line, accompanied by the heading "Keywords:" in Times Roman 12-point boldface, initially capitalized. Leave two blank lines after the keywords, and then begin the main text.
Author's biographical information
Texts must be accompanied by: the author's biographical information (professional title, didactic position, institutional affiliation, contact information, and email address), a list of the author's main publications (1/2 page), a digital photo in .jpeg or .jpg format (optional). All of these will be public information for selected authors.
The submission of a manuscript implies that the author certifies that the material is not copyrighted and is not currently under review for any refereed journal or conference proceedings. If the paper (or any version or part thereof) has appeared, or will appear, in another publication of any kind, the details of such publication must be disclosed to the editors at the time of submission.
Reference citations within the text
Use authors' last names, with the year of publication, e.g., “(Cojocaru, 2008; Cousins and Whitmore, 1998; Cooperrider, Whitney and Stavros, 2005)”. On first citation of references with three to five authors, give all names in full, thereafter use [first author] “et al.”. In the references, the first six authors should be listed in full.
If more than one article by the same author(s) in the same year is cited, the letters a, b, c, etc., should follow the year. If a paper is in preparation, submitted, or under review, the reference should include the authors, the title, and the year of the draft.
Reference list
A full list of references quoted in the text should be given at the end of the paper in alphabetical order of authors' surnames (or chronologically for a group of references by the same authors), commencing as a new page, typed double spaced. Titles of journals and books should be given in full, e.g.:
