Presentation
The manucript should be prepared on A4 paper, with cm14x21 page layout and the following margins (cm): 2,4 upper; 1,8 lower; 2,1 left & right; 1,27 header & footer. The font to be used is Garamond 12 with single line spacing double-spaced and with generous head, foot and left- and right-hand margins. The manuscript should be submitted including an abstract of approximately 200 words, and authorship, contact addresses and any acknowledgements should be submitted on a separate cover letter as the refereeing process is strictly anonymous. The article length should not exceed 8000 words including references.

Illustrations
Any maps, diagrams and figures should be submitted in the form of completed artwork suitable for reproduction.

Figures and images should be put separately from the text, and captioned in the text.
Black and white figures should be supplied on separate sheets at the end of the manuscript. Lines should be clean and clear, tints and complex shading should be avoided. Any labels and keys must be legible when reproduced. Figures supplied to at least 800dpi halftones to 300dpi at actual size.

Where artwork is supplied, please remember that illustrations cannot be reproduced at more than the size of the text area of the journal page, i.e. cm14x21. All illustrations should be drawn for the same reduction, ideally 3:2. Lettering should be of draughtsman standard; please bear the reduction factor in mind in both lettering and line weight.

Good quality black and white photographs will be considered for inclusion where they add substantially to the argument, up to a maximum of three per article. These can be supplied electronically to at least 300dpi.

Colour figures can be provided for use in the online version. However, contributors must remember that these will appear in the printed version in black and white. Any colours used should therefore be distinguishable from each other in the greyscale format, especially in pie charts and bar charts.

It is the contributor's responsibility to clear any necessary copyright permissions, to pay any reproduction fees charged by the copyright owner, and to provide a list of captions and (where relevant) credit lines.

A list of captions to the illustrations should be supplied separately from the text, and the position of the illustrations should be clearly indicated in the text.

Headings

First-level headings are bold, font size 12p; second-level subheadings are italic bold, font size 12p. No numbering is required. Further levels of subheadings should be avoided.
Quotations marks ("...") are required for text quotations. In case of more than about 60 words, quotations should be set out from the text with space above and below.

Footnotes & endnotes

Footnotes appear only on the first page of the paper, to account for authors' affiliations. Further footnotes should be put at the end of the manuscript, with reference numbers in square brackets in the text. Please keep footnotes to a reasonable minimum.

Tables

Tables should be typed separately from the text, and captioned in the text.

References

Bibliographic citations must be indicated in the text by surnames of the author and the year of publication in parentheses, e.g. Hall (1992) or (Hall, 1992) or (Hall, 1992, p. 25). In the case of multiple citations of the same author and year, the year of publication must be followed by a letter (a, b, c...).
All bibliographical references must be listed at the end of the text (bibliography must include only the works cited), by using the items of the original publication and by translating the titles of papers and volumes into English, following the "Harvard" format. Here are some examples:
