Author Guidelines
Articles for the journal 'Our Past' are accepted for individual volumes by two deadlines: by 31 March (for the second half of the current year) and by 30 September (for the first half of the following year).
The text should be prepared in the available word processors Microsoft Word (file saved in doc, docx. format readable in older versions of the program) or LibreOffice.
Please include an appendix bibliography, abstract, keywords and a bibliographical note with your articles. Please enter each keyword separately into the system. Please do not combine words in blocks.
Editorial guidelines for footnotes
We use the so-called footnotes. The footnote number (Arabic numerals) is placed in the text before the punctuation mark that ends a sentence or its part.
Bibliographic references should use the straightforward version of the comma notation (note: the comma after the title should be written in straight font, not italics).
The bibliographic description of a compact publication (book) should include: name initial (or initials separated by a space), surname(s) of the author(s), title of the work, subtitle (separated by a period), translator's name initial and surname, place and year of publication, page (with the abbreviation s.). Note: do not indicate the names of publishers.
In the descriptions of collective works, the title (in italics) precedes the editor (-s), whose name is given in the nominative case after the abbreviation ed.
Titles of journals should be quoted in straight font. The individual elements of the bibliographic description should be written as follows: year number, year of publication, volume, number and/or notebook, using the abbreviations R., t., z. and nr.
Titles of journals are given in full. If we refer to the same journal for the second time, the first time we give [hereinafter: journal abbreviation] after the full title. Journal abbreviations are indicated without quotation marks.
When referring to websites, include the author, the title of the work, the Internet "address" and, in parentheses, the date the site was accessed.
When an author's text is not cited, but merely summarized, paraphrased, or referred to for further information, the footnote should be preceded by the abbreviation Cf. or See.
In a footnote where bibliographic data is the same as in the immediately preceding footnote, the following notation should be used: Ibid, p. xx. In the case of a previously cited work, the initials of the author's first and last name, the title of the work, or its abbreviated form (each time identical), p. xx.
If a footnote contains more than one work by the same author, then when citing the second (and subsequent works, if they are cited consecutively), instead of the initial of the author's name and surname, we should write: the same (this), title or its abbreviation, Dz. cit., p. xx.
