2] General formatting information

  • - Format: the text should be written in 12 point Arial. All text should be single spaced with no tabs. The left and right margins should be set at 3. The top and bottom margins should be 2,5.

  • - The title should be centered on top of the first page, 14 point, boldface type. On the following line, right-justified, should be the name of the author. Below that, the author’s university affiliation should be placed.

  • - Summary: It will be placed before the body of the text and below the title, justified. The terms ”summary” and “keywords” will be highlighted in boldface. The rest of the summary will have the same format as the body of the text. There will not be more than six keywords and they will be placed on the line below, leaving a space and separated by vertical bars, with this format:

    Summary || This paper sets out the possibility of using the tale of the migrating journey as an object of study

    Keywords || Comparative Literature | Migration | Comparative Literature

  • - If needed, the body of the text will be divided in numbered section headings, using Arabic numerals, starting with 0 (followed by period and one space) for the introduction. The subsection headings will be numbered accordingly. All section and subsection headings will be left-justified (no tabs), in boldface, 12 point, separated by one blank line and with no final period. Example:

    0. Introduction

    1. History of the text

    1.1 Manuscripts

  • - In the body of the text, the paragraphs in the body of the text will be separated by a blank line.

3] Graphic elements

  • - Images appearing in the text will be inserted using the specific tool of the word processor. They will be in jpg format. They should be outside the body of the text, centred, and the label will be in 10 point Arial, also centred below the image.

4] Notes, quotations and parenthetical references

  • - Notes will be placed in Arial 10 font, single spaced, at the end of the article. The call will be placed after the word and before the punctuation marks by means of superscripted Arabic numerals.
  • - Short quotations will be included within the text between angle quotes “”. Long quotations will be set in a new paragraph, in Arial 10 font, 1.5 indented and single spaced. There will be a blank line before and after the quote. Ellipsis within quotations will be marked by three dots in square brackets: […]
  • - Parenthetical references will follow the author-year system within the text, indicating, in brackets, the author’s last name followed by a comma, the year of publication of the work cited, followed by a colon and a space, and the page number. E.g. (Ostrom, 1948: 452).
  • - References including an entire work should omit the page number. E.g. (Ostrom, 1948).
  • - If the author has published more than one work in the same year, letters in italics are added: (Ostrom, 1948a; 1948b).
  • - If the same work is referred to on many occasions, the author’s name can be left out, provided there is no ambiguity. Example: (1948: 452).
  • - The works cited page will be included after the endnotes, in font 11, placed in alphabetical order following this system:

    • • Books: surname of the author in capital letter, followed by the initial of the name, year of publication in brackets, title of the publication in italics, place of publication, publishing house and volume in Roman numerals (if any).

      • · If there are two or more authors, they will be separated by a semicolon and behind the last author “and” will be written; if the number of authors is excessive, the name of the first author plus the formula “et al." in italics can be used.
      • · If a compilation based on several collaborations is referred to, “various authors” will be used, including, after the title, the name of the work’s compilator or editor.
