The Editorial team is inviting authors to send their contributions to ETC, after they are sure that: · The paper was not previously published in other journals · The paper is the result of their own research effort and there is no risk to be accused of plagiarism · The property rights are automatically transferred to the George Bacovia Press immediately after the acceptance of the paper to be published in ETC · The paper wouldn’t be offered to another publisher without the previous acceptance of George Bacovia Press · There was paid the fee of 50 euros/ author (or its equivalent in lei) in the George Bacovia account (to be announced after the acceptance of the paper). Every author will receive a printed copy of the issue
Technical and editorial issues:
· The sent papers should have 15-20 pages (References included) · The papers are peer reviewed by anonymous reviewers · The paper should contain an Abstract of about half page with the following structure: Purpose, Methodological approach, Findings, Implications for practice, Conclusions and recommendations · The text and References should be written with Times New Roman 11, footnotes with Times New Roman 10 · It is important to use “I” instead of “we” if there is a single author (a bigger responsibility is supposed to appear) · A good correspondence between title and content is expected · Introduction and Conclusions are not numbered · The paper should be structured in at least 3-4 chapters · The introduction explains the reasons for researching the chosen issue, the principal methods used and some essential findings. The original contributions should be put clearly into evidence. · The proper names of authors quoted should be bolded, and quotations texts should be italicized in order to easy observe the appeal to other authors, the literature studied etc. · A clear definition of the terms used is necessary, not only to avoid confusions but to have the author’s image on it · An as large as possible review of literature that treats same or similar problems is required · The references should contain only the authors and books referred in the text. No general sending as websites links, collections of journals etc. are accepted · Do not use page numbering · The reference in the paper’s text should have the following form: Author (Year, page), immediately after closing quotations. Use the general sending to an author only if strictly necessary, otherwise the previous form is strongly recommended · References should be listed alphabetically and chronologically. Do not use Bibliography, but only References. After References the author may suggest Supplementary reading · No quotation without sending to the source! It is not a shame to have many quotations, it is a penal guilty to use others’ ideas and not to clearly indicate the source · Footnotes should be used only for giving supplementary information that is not possible to introduce in text and that could be read separately |
