Guidelines for the presentation of manuscripts

We advise authors to present manuscripts according to the guidelines below in order to reduce editing time.

1. FORM OF PRESENTATION
The font used shall be Times New Roman, size 12 for the text, and 10 for the footnotes. The following must be taken into account: the number of the footnote shall be placed before the full stop; the inverted commas before the full stop; no space between a word and the punctuation mark after the word or after the number. WARNING: Careless typing can lead to the rejection of the material!

2. STRUCTURE OF THE PAPER
The material shall be divided in: parts and paragraphs.
Headings shall be centered.
Subchapter titles shall be placed at the beginning of the line.
There is no full stop after titles; the same rule applies to chapter and subchapter titles; titles followed by subtitles are the only exception.
If the paper contains annexes, these shall be placed at the end of the paper, numbered.
Each study must be accompanied by an abstract (40-50 words) which specifies the intention of the analysis and the modes of work, by 5-7 key words and by a summary (one page and a half, size A4, in the above-mentioned standard format, containing the central part of the research and the results), all in English or in the language of the study in question.
Studies sent for publication must not be longer than 30 pp in the said format. Only exceptionally are longer materials accepted for publication. Such texts may be published in several numbers of the Magazine, following thus an older tradition of the Magazine. “Danubius” Magazine publishes materials in Romanian, English, French, German and Russian.

3. LANGUAGE ISSUES
For an accurate writing, we recommend:
Dicţionarul explicativ al limbii române (Academia Română, Institutul de Lingvistică „Iorgu Iordan” ediţia 1996, Editura Univers Enciclopedic)
Dicţionarul ortografic, ortoepic şi morfologic al limbii române (Academia Română,
Institutul de Lingvistică „Iorgu Iordan”, ediţia 2007, Editura Univers Enciclopedic)
The application of the decision of the Presidium of the Romanian Academy concerning the return to the use of “â” and “sunt”
Foreign words inserted in the text shall be put in italics.

4. ELABORATION OF FOOTNOTES
Footnotes shall be marked in one way only (with Arabic numerals).
All notes mentioned on one page must be found in the footnote of that page.
Regularly, the order is the following: name and surname of the author, title of the paper (in italics), volume, town, publishing house, year, page/s, for example:
Al. Surdu, Vocaţii filosofice româneşti, Bucureşti, Editura Academiei Române, 1995, p.61, or pp. 61-63.
If there are several notes referring to the same paper:
- immediately after the first reference to the paper, the note shall be replaced by Ibidem, adding the page only;
- when the note appears further on, after other authors, it shall include the name of the author, while the title of the paper and the other data shall be replaced by op. cit.;
- when an author appears with several papers which do not come one after the other, but after other different notes, the note shall include the name of the author, the title of the paper (abbreviated and followed by dots), then the page;
- when an author appears with several papers in the same note, his name shall be replaced by Idem.
All footnotes shall end with a full stop.

Also, mention the series of the magazine, if applicable (for instance: new series).

When referring to an archive document, the order of the data shall be the following: archive (initials), fund, inventory (if applicable), file no., page / pages. When two successive notes make reference to the same archive, fund and file, it shall be replaced by Ibidem. If the file differs, the archive and the fund shall be replaced by Idem.
