SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
1. The journal Knjiženstvo publishes original works from the field of literature, gender and culture studies. The journal is published once a year, in December. The deadline for submission is September 1 of the current calendar year.
2. The authors of published manuscripts shall transfer the copyright to Knjiženstvo. Works previously published, or submitted for publication elsewhere, shall not be considered for publication in Knjiženstvo. If a work has been orally presented at a scientific conference (under the same, or similar title), this data should be indicated in the title-related footnote. Articles are double blind peer reviewed. The list of reviewers appears in imprint of each particular issue. Professional papers, translations and essays are not subject to peer-review. The editorial board, primarily the editor of the corresponding area or type of manuscript, decides whether the manuscript will be accepted.
3 . The works are published in the Serbian language, in the Cyrillic alphabet, or in other languages, in the appropriate alphabet. The recommended length is 18 000 to 40 000 characters (with spaces).
The editorial board will categorise all scientific and professional articles in accordance with the guidelines stated in the Rulebook on the Categorisation and Ranking of Scientific Journals of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development of the Republic of Serbia, dated December 30, 2020. The category of the article will be listed on the first page of the paper, right below the title.
This Rulebook determines the basic characteristics of articles in scientific journals in the following manner:
– An original scientific paper is “a paper that presents previously unpublished results of the author’s own research based on a scientific method.”
– A review paper is “a paper that contains an original, detailed and critical overview of a research problem or an area to which the author has made a contribution.”
– A short or preliminary communication is “an original scientific paper of full format, but smaller scope or preliminary character.”
– A scientific critique or commentary (discussion on a particular scientific topic based exclusively on scientific argumentation and use of scientific methodology) and reviews.
– A professional paper is “a contribution which offers experience useful for the improvement of professional practice, but not necessarily based on scientific methods.”
– Informative contributions include editorials, comments and similar texts.
– Professional critique, that is, commentary and reviews.
If you want your manuscript to be included in a certain category, please, modify its characteristics in line with the criteria stated.
4. A scientific work (article) should contain the following elements:
– Name and surname of the author (Times New Roman bold, 12)
– Name and place of the institution
– Email address (official)
– Article title (Times New Roman bold, 14)
– Abstract in Serbian (Times New Roman 11, up to 200 words) - Key words (up to 5 terms, Times New Roman 11)
– Body of the text (font – Cyrillic alphabet, Times New Roman 12) - Bibliography
– Abstract in English (Times New Roman 11)
– Key words in English
The order of the elements must be observed. The template from the journal’s website should be used to format the paper.
5. The author’s name and surname, to be published in studies and articles, is printed above the title, aligned left, in bold letters. The name and the seat of the institution where the author is employed, is put under the author’s name. If there are more than one author, the name and the seat of their institution needs to be quoted individually. The title and the job position are not quoted. The title and the number of the project, i.e. the title of the program within which the article was made, together with the name of the institution financing the project or program, are quoted in a separate footnote, and related to the name of the author’s institution.
If the manuscript was created within a project, this must be stressed in the footnote on the bottom of the first page of the paper. The same applies to information about institutions and organisations that have financially, or in some other way, helped the research presented in the paper.
6. Appendices (tabular and graphic appendices, photographs, etc.) are marked with the Roman numerals, and enclosed at the end of the article, while their position in the text is marked with an appropriate numeral. Appendices available on the Internet are designated in the same manner, with the relevant links enclosed.
7. Bibliographies written as independent work should contain information on the author of the bibliography, and information on the project. A short textual introduction is desirable. These bibliographies are written in accordance with the ISBD format.
8. Reviews are submitted in the following format:
– Name and surname
– Name and place of the institution
– Email address (official)
– Title (given by the author)
– Data on the publication reviewed is quoted according to the Chicago Manual of Style
– Text (Font – Times New Roman 12) recommended length 1.5 to 3 pages (1800 characters with spaces per page).
9. The authors of all articles should enclose a short biographical note (the author shall list their year of birth), no more than 150 words long, with the accessible relevant links.
10. The scientific works submitted to the journal Knjiženstvo should be written according to The Chicago Manual of Style – CMS http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html http://library.williams.edu/citing/styles/chicago1.php
11. All foreign names are to be transcribed. However, the original should be written in parentheses when first mentioning the name in question.
12. Language settings
Please, set the language of each segment of your paper by using the option Set Language. This is extremely important, so as to avoid unnecessary spelling mistakes (for instance, quotation marks whose form and position does not correspond to the norm of the language in question).
To set the language of a certain segment of the paper, or the whole text, you cannot simply select the appropriate keyboard layout (e.g. Serbian Latin). You have to select the appropriate part of the text with your cursor, and then select the following option in the MS Word programme: Tools → Language → Set Language. Then, select the language that you need. Turn off the options Do not check spelling or grammar and Detect language automatically.
We recommend that you use a high-quality programme to correct any possible misspellings (a spell checker) for the appropriate language, to avoid unnecessary spelling and other language mistakes.
13. Footnotes' format is Times New Roman, font size 11.
14. All references are quoted in their original alphabet. The sources are listed in alphabetical order, at the end of the work.
Articles should be submitted in the Word format, at the address: knjizenstvo@fil.bg.ac.rs, and: knjizenstvo@gmail.com (please, note that texts should be submitted to both addresses). The message and the document should be titled in the following manner:Knjiz–Name and Surname-month and the year (for example: Knjiz–Ljiljana Ruzic-November 2011).
