Author Guidelines

Authors publishing in Folia humanistica et socialia must comply with the professional and ethical guidelines defined by the Editors and the Editorial Board. These guidelines were determined by the Editorial Board based on the provisions of the Codex of Scientific Ethics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and by the standards for journal editors (COPE guidelines) of the Committee on Publication Ethics (Publication Ethics Committee — COPE).

Any form of plagiarism is unethical and unacceptable. The authors must guarantee that the study is their original intellectual work. If they have used the works and expressions of others, they must cite them appropriately and refer to them professionally.

If this is the case, the Authors must disclose the sources of financial support related to the preparation/writing of the manuscript.

Authors must have an ORCID identifier (open researcher identifier). ORCID registration is available at the following link: https://orcid.org/register.

Folia humanistica et socialia uses the open review system, where both the name of the reviewer and the author are known to the other person. Each submitted manuscript is reviewed by two reviewers. The reviewers give their names and sign their review, but their names are known only to the author and not to the readers. The collaboration between the reviewers and the author is thus efficient: it shortens the peer review process and the reviewers can even help the author to rewrite the challenged parts if the author requests it. The reviewers work as volunteers without payment.

The content structure of individual publications

• Paper title
• Abstract: short content summary of the paper
• Text of the article
• List of references

Language
Folia humanistica et socialia publishes articles and book reviews in Hungarian, but also publishes the title and abstract of the article/review in English.

Structure
The structure of the subsections depends on the nature of the work. Within an article, a maximum of three levels of structuring may be used. Depending on the nature of the topic, the number of levels of subheadings and the degree of separation of the sections, any combination of subheadings may be used, while maintaining subordination. When numbering chapters, they should be numbered decimally, starting with 1., for example:
1. Chapter title
2. Chapter title
2.1. Section title
2.1.1. Subsection title

Emphasis
Parts which are emphasized must by typeset with italic font (i.e., do not use boldface or underlining for emphasis); linguistic data must also be typeset in italics as well as the titles of cited works.

Glosses
Between 6…9-type quotation marks, e.g. ánima ‘soul’.

Quotations
For quotations of fewer than 40 words, add quotation marks around the words and incorporate the quote into your own text — there is no additional formatting needed. Quotations of 40 words or more must be formatted as block quotations, without quotation marks, on a new line. Indent the whole block 1 cm from the left margin. Cite the source in parentheses after the quotation’s final punctuation (author, year, page number).

En dash
When meaning “from–to”, as in page ranges, e.g. pp. 123–127.

Em dash
For amplifying, explaining, breaking into main thought, etc. E.g. Johnson — and many others — claim that…

Footnotes
For notes, explanation, comments. They have to be footnotes and not endnotes. Do not use footnotes for references!

References
Abbreviated citation in text (author, year). In-text citations have to formats: parenthetical and narrative. In parenthetical citations, the author name and publication date appear in parentheses. In narrative citations, the author name is incorporated into the text as part of the sentence and the year follows in parentheses (e.g. Koehler (2016) noted…). A detailed list of references must be inserted at the end of the paper.

Basic In-Text Citation Styles:

When multiple references have an identical author (or authors) and publication year, include a lowercase letter after the year: (Judge & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012a), (Judge & Kammeyer-Mueller, 2012b).
