Submission guidelines

In order to ensure editorial consistency, please adhere to the following guidelines. We hope that this document answers all your stylistic queries; if you have any style-related questions, please feel free to address them to dr. Joanna Wardega (Joanna.wardega@gmail.com).
 
  • Deadline for submitting the papers: September 30, 2015. We would like the book to be published in early 2016 by the Jagiellonian University Press.
  • Page limit: 20 pages (i.e. 36,000 characters with spaces, including footnotes and references). Longer papers will unfortunately have to be abridged.
  • Paper language: English only. We expect all contributors to submit their papers in English. The texts will be proofread, but we cannot provide English translations.
  • E-mail for submitting the papers: conference.cikrakow@gmail.com
  • Apart from the paper, all authors are kindly asked to also submit information about themselves in a separate .doc file, containing: name, academic degree and position, institutional affiliation, two titles of the most significant books published and subject matter of published articles (titles of the journals where these articles have been published may also be included), academic interests and ongoing research.
  • All contributions should be submitted in both .doc and .pdf files. All texts should use 12 pt. Times New Roman and 宋体 (for Chinese characters), and 1.5 line spacing. For papers regarding issues from before the language reform in the PRC (mid-1950s), authors should choose between simplified or traditional Chinese characters (however, the usage of characters should be consistent: please do not use both traditional and simplified characters in the same paper). For papers regarding contemporary issues, please use simplified characters. Regardless of the topic of your paper, please use pinyin romanization in the transcription of Chinese characters.
  • We cannot pay any royalties for the papers submitted. Authors shall agree to make the factual and linguistic corrections required by the book's editor and proofreader. Each author shall guarantee that her/his contribution is original and has not been published previously (a separate copyright form shall be sent to you subsequently for completion).
  • Each author shall receive a copy of the published book, as well as a .pdf file containing her/his paper.
Foreign words
Words in languages other than English (including pinyin) should be written in italics. For Chinese characters use normal fonts:
The term 时尚 shishang ("trend") is contrasted with another one: "fashion" (时髦 shimao).
