Especially, the paper must provide a short review of current state in the area of the paper’s aim in Introduction. The paper should refer significant sources, particularly scientific journals or monographs.

Spelling should follow the Oxford English Dictionary.

Commentary by reviewers will be summarized and sent by email to authors, who can choose to revise their papers in line with these remarks. Re-submitted papers should be accompanied by the description of the changes and other responses to reviewers’ comments (see above), so that the desk-editor can easily see where changes have been made.
