4. Format

All papers must be submitted in an electronic format. We accept Microsoft Word, txt or rtf files, preferably Word for Windows .doc files. If your article contains symbols or any other elements that you predict might present technical problems, please enclose a PDF file for the convenience of the editors. 

4.1. Page and margins

The A4 pages should be set in a single column format. The margins should be set at 2 cm top and bottom and 2 cm right and left. All sections including References must have the same width and depth of type page.  

4.2. Font and Spacing

Use Times New Roman. The main text should be in 12-point type. For phonetic transcription, please use the IPA symbols (or any consistent system). Space between lines is defined in terms of points. The main text should have a spacing of 1.15 points. Do not use ‘double-spacing’ or ‘one-and-a-half-spacing’. Choose the option ‘space precisely’, then define the exact size of points. 

4.3. Title, authors and affiliations

Skip one line and write the title in bold, 14-point type, and left justified. Skip 1 line and write your name and affiliation in 12-point type bold and italicised. 

5. Sections of the article

Sections of the article must be numbered sequentially starting with 1 up to the third level (e.g. 1.1.1). Wherever possible, use the section numbers for cross-referencing within the article. First level headings should be left-justified, boldface, 12-point type. In section titles, only capitalize the first word and any proper names. Second level subheadings should be left-justified, boldface, italicised and printed in 12-point type. Third level subheadings should be left-justified, italicised and printed in 12-point type. Do not use headings other than these three types. The paragraphs are with indentation (1,25cm). Remember to skip one line before the next heading. Note that one line has been skipped immediately after the heading.

Please, follow the indicated structural pattern of the paper:

1) Introduction (concerns the problem of research)

2) Theoretical background/Literature review/ Review of literature (includes the review of the basic and latest research and publications)

3) Article aim/ Research objectives/Research questions

4) Method/Study design/Research framework/Methodology. This section should include: Participants, Data collection Analysis and Method subsections research procedure. 

5) Results and Discussion.  

6) Conclusion with implications for future research.  

6. Footnotes: Use footnotes numbered sequentially. Footnotes should be indicated in the main body of the text by superscripts outside punctuation and they should be in 10-point type with 1,0 spacing. 

7. Citations in the text

Always give author’s name, year and page number, the latter in parentheses. Use double quotation marks: “         “ e.g. Validity is defined as “the extent to which an evaluation measures what it is designed to measure, such as translation skills” (Williams, 2009, p. 5).

Long citations over 40 words: Indent by one tab either side, one space above and below. Do not include quotation marks.

According to Williams (2009, p. 5) reliability is viewed as

the extent to which an evaluation produces the same results when administered repeatedly to the same population under the same conditions’; thus, for the assessment procedure to be reliable the evaluators have to be consistent in their judgments and apply stable criteria.

For more information how to provide direct quotation in the text refer to Quotations (apa.org).

8. References in the text follow the normal author-date style: (Campbell 1997, p. 62); Campbell (1997) states that … Separate works referred to in the same parentheses should be listed in alphabetical order: (Bell, 1992; Campbell, 1997, 2001). Use et al. in case more than two authors are involved (but give full names in the References).

8.1. All figures, tables and diagrams must be numbered consecutively and supplied with captions in 12-point in italics. Tables usually show numerical value or textual information and are almost always characterized by a row-column structure. Any type of illustration other than a table is referred to as a figure. In-text citation of tables: as seen in table 1 or (Table 1).

Table 1

The Results of Question 13 Gauging Teachers’ Confidence of Performing the CEFR/CV-related Activities

Figures may be a chart, a graph, a photograph, a drawing, or any other illustration or non-textual depiction. Any type of illustration other than a table is referred to as a figure.

Figure 1

For more information how to cite tables and figures refer to ld.php (libguides.com).

9. The reference section headed References (left-justified) should contain all works cited in the text, and only those, and they must be listed in alphabetical order of author/editor, with complete bibliographical details. Journal and book titles must be given in full and must be italicized. Page references must be given for articles in books and journals. There should be no extra space between entries. The second and subsequent lines of each entry should be indented – 7 spaces (automatic default in Microsoft Word). Where more than one work by the same author is listed, the author’s name should be repeated in each entry. See example below.
