Guide to authors
The official language of the journal is English and English. In exceptional cases – manuscripts attracting mainly local or regional interest – Hungarian language is acceptable. In this case 5-30 rows of English abstract should be attached to the manuscript.
The length of the manuscripts is not limited but it has to be in accordance with the content and editors may oblige the authors to cut or extend the manuscript. In case the manuscript exceeds 15 pages together with illustrations a fee of 10 euros per excess pages has to be paid to contribute to the costs of publishment. The costs of publication of large pages and colour illustrations are due to the authors. Preparing the English or Hungarian text or abstracts and the digital figures are the tasks of the authors.
For reviewing the submitted manuscripts the editors ask 1-2 reviewers. Manuscripts sent back for improvement to the authors should be re-submitted within three weeks.
