General information

Only unpublished original papers will be accepted by the editors of the journal. They should not exceed 14-15 pages including references, tables and figures. The number of figures should correspond to the length of the paper. Manuscripts should be sent to the following address:

Submission of a manuscript implies an approval for publishing a paper in printed and electronic versions.

Text

The text should be typed with 1½ line spacing. Use font 12 pt Times New Roman. Avoid underlining letters, words and sentences. Use italics or bold font to emphasize text. Do not embed figures and plots within the text. Files with the text save in MS Word for Windows (.doc) or Rich Text Format (.rtf).

The paper should contain: title, name(s) of author(s), affiliation, short abstract (i.e. synopsis containing the description of experiments but without results), key words, introduction, objectives, materials and methods, results, conclusions, references, abstract of the paper, mailing addresses of the author(s).

Figures

All figures should be prepared in the electronic form and saved in separate files in one of the following formats: GIF, JPEG, PCX, BMP, TIF, PS, EPS. Proprietary file formats (i.e. files saved with Corel Draw, Designer, Autocad, Illustrator etc.) are not allowed. Captions of all figures should be saved in a separate file.

References

In the text, literature should be cited by giving name(s) of author(s) and publishing year, e.g. Kowalski (1900), Kowalski and Nowak (1800), Kowalski et al. (1700) – if there are three or more authors. References should be alphabetically listed:
