Instructions for the preparation of contributions

The editors of the Časopis Matice moravské ask its authors to respect the following principles when contributing manuscripts:

Please send your contributions (articles, material studies, discussions and polemical texts, reviews, annotations and chronicle reports) to the e-mail address cmm@phil.muni.cz. Submit them in electronic format only, as DOC (DOCX) or RTF. When writing, use the editor’s standard settings without any special formatting, do not offset the start of paragraphs with the tab button and do not use hyphenation. Please always submit annexes separately – maps, graphs, tables and any graphical material – and agree in advance with the editors how they will be used. Copyright to any graphical appendices is arranged by the author, who should always attach to graphical appendices captions giving authorship and source information.
Each article should have attached a foreign language résumé with a maximum length of a single standard page (1.800 characters, including spaces), as well as an abstract (max. 600 characters) and keywords in English (max. 5–6), or alternatively, material in Czech for translation into the foreign language.

The length of a single article, including comments, should not exceed 35 standard pages (a maximum of 70.000 printed characters), that of a review 6 standard pages (10.000 printed characters) and annotations 2 standard pages (3.600 printed characters).

References to sources or literature and any explanatory notes should be included in the form of footnotes marked with an index number. For dedications use an asterisk against the title or sub-title. The index number should always be written after the final punctuation mark.

In text, numbers from one to nine should be written out, double- and multiple-digit numbers should be written as digits. Use the quotation marks appropriate to the language chosen (in Czech „“, in English “”). For chronological data, with the exception of the timing of sources in notes, please write out the names of months. Quotations should be indicated by the use of italic and quotation marks and any comments or omissions should be written inside these using square brackets ([Přemysl Otakar II.]; […]).

In the heading of reviews and annotations always give the author(s) of the publication, title, place of publication, publisher and year of publication, number of pages and ISBN.
The editors reserve the right to make editorial and language changes to the text. Contributions to Studies and Analyses, Materials and Discussions are subject to anonymous peer review (see www.matice-moravska.cz).
