Editorial Standards

The journal issues are mainly monographs. The topic of each issue is announced some months before publication. Authors who want to submit an article should follow the editorial rules. Teoria publishes articles in the main European languages. All articles are peer-reviewed. As soon as the evaluation is received, the author will be informed.

General Rules

Submit a short abstract in English of no more than 10 lines (+/- 150 parole)

With regard to quotations:

1. Put short quotations in the text between «...»

2. Long quotations (of more than 3 lines) should be set off from the text (in a separate paragraph) and indented from the margin with NO quotation marks. Use a smaller font size.

3. Quotations in another language than used in the article should be put in footnotes while the translation is given in the text.

4. Omissions in the quoted text should be marked [...]

Use “...” or italics to emphasize a word or to indicate a special use. Use italics for words taken from other languages. If these foreign words are put after their translation use [....]. So for example: the worldview [Weltanschauung] of Simmel. Try to avoid single ‘....’, do NOT underline words and do NOT use bold.
