Author Guidelines

Title: Style Sheet

AUTHOR: INTERLITTERARIA

 

Abstract. Each article should have an abstract in English. The length of the abstract can vary between 200 and 1000 words, long abstracts being recommended for articles written in French, German or Spanish (in these cases, the English version of the title should be given as well). Please avoid including bibliographic references in the abstract.

 

Keywords:  four to eight keywords in English, separated by a semicolon

 

Author information

A published article is accompanied by the author’s e-mail, country, and institutional affiliation, as well as a short bio (between 100 and 200 words, uploaded separately) in English.

 

Formatting

This is the Interlitteraria style sheet. Please follow this especially for bibliography and references, providing the required data according to the form used in Interlitteraria. The details about fonts and layout are described for your information, you don’t need to format your article accordingly in every detail, but try to avoid any other special formatting. Use Times New Roman, size 16 for the title or the article (Italics) followed by author’s name (capital letters); size 14 for subtitles, size 12 for the text, size 10 for long quotes, footnotes and the bibliography. Line spacing is 1,5 for the text; 1,0 for footnotes and the bibliography.

 

Titles and References in the Text

Bibliographical references are given within the text, citing the author’s name, the year of publication and number(s) of relevant page(s), for example: (Hasselblatt 1986: 86). Please do not use footnotes for providing references only.

Titles mentioned in the text should be given in the original language of the work mentioned, for example Keew weri, kriminal-jutustus Tallinna elust (Boiling Blood, Crime Story about Life in Tallinn, 1893), with translation into the language of the article and other additional information following in parentheses the first time the text is mentioned. Translated titles should be used directly in text only if a translation by that title actually exists and when this translation, rather than the original, is discussed in the article.

When quoting literary works in translation, either published translations or excerpts translated specifically for the article, the translator should be indicated in a footnote as well as the list of references.

The list of works cited is organized alphabetically, works by the same author within the list also chronologically (the earliest first, the most recent last). Please follow the format given in the example on the style sheet, keeping the bibliographical information as concise as possible and accessible also to readers not very familiar with the language of the article and its traditional style of bibliography.
