CENTRAL EUROPEAN JOURNAL FOR CONTEMPORARY RELIGION

The Journal accepts original and previously unpublished research articles related to contemporary religious scene, with special (but not exclusive) focus on the region of Central and Eastern Europe. It is issued in English, semi-annually (spring and fall). Paper acceptance deadlines are 30 September for the spring issue and 28 February for the fall issue.

We accept articles in electronic format only (docx). Authors interested in publication please contact the executive editor on cejcr@htf.cuni.cz.

Each manuscript is assessed by two independent reviewers (double-blind peer review).

The author is informed about the result within the shortest possible delay.

The editorial board reserves the right to language editing of all texts. The author has a possibility to review all stylistic and other corrections during the proofreading process.

Every text must invariably contain article title, author’s name, academic titles, department, e-mail contact, and abstract in English and Czech (if possible), each of a maximum length of 150 words. Every article must contain minimum five keywords in English and Czech (if possible). In case of non-Czech speaking authors, the translation of the abstract and keywords will be provided by the Journal.

The articles should be approximately 6,000–8,000 words long, bibliography and footnotes included. Larger texts can be published only after a previous consult of the Editorial Board.

We prefer system fonts such as Arial, Times New Roman or Cambria/Calibri, size 12, 1.5 spacing. To format headings please use your text editor style tools. Footnotes must be generated using the automated tools of the program, never create them manually using upper index. Don’t use first line indent (either by automatic tool, Tab key or a series of spaces).

In case the article makes use of foreign alphabets and/or symbol systems please use the latest standard scholarly transcription/transliteration recognized by the respective discipline. Sources must be quoted in English; should it be necessary to quote larger portions of non-English texts, please do so in a footnote.

As for pictures, tables, graphs etc., please do not insert them directly into the text. Instead mark clearly and visibly the place where they should appear and send them separately. Every URL should be in a clickable hypertext format.

The required format of bibliography and footnotes follows. Please, do not use ibid, ibidem, or op. cit. Use passim as little as possible – we prefer specific reference to pagination. If applicable, please include DOI as an active URL in the bibliographical information (this applies only to the bibliography version, not to either of the footnote versions). For details see below.
