Authors should prepare and upload two versions of their manuscript. One should be a complete text and should include a title page, while in the second all information identifying the author should be removed from files to allow them to be sent anonymously to referees. When uploading files authors will be able to define the non-anonymous version as 'File not for review'.

Editorial correspondence and enquiries about the submission of articles may be sent to the Editor, at Europe-Asia Studies, Department of Central and East European Studies, University of Glasgow, 8-9 Lilybank Gardens, Glasgow, G12 8RZ, UK (Email: europe-asia@gla.ac.uk).

If possible manuscripts should be prepared in MS Word using Times New Roman 10 point font and double spacing. Notes and references must be double spaced. An abstract of no more than 100 words should be provided at the beginning of the article. All pages should be numbered. Footnotes to the text should be confined to the minimum number necessary.

When submitting an article, please ensure that all articles are formatted to conform to the guidelines below. Please do not hesitate to contact the editorial office if you are unsure of any style points or if you have any queries (Email: europe-asia@gla.ac.uk). It is the responsibility of the author to ensure that articles conform to Europe-Asia Studies style; failure to do this may result in delay to publication.

Title page ('file not for review' version only)

• The complete text version ('file not for review') of each manuscript must have a title page that includes the title, authors' names, institutions of origin, addresses, telephone/fax numbers and e-mail addresses.
• It is important to indicate the specific affiliation, address and title of each author as this information is used to determine how contributors are listed in the 'List of Contributors' section of the journal.

Abstract

• Please include a brief abstract of no more than 100 words.

Footnotes

• Footnotes should be used sparingly.
• Footnotes should be numbered sequentially as superscript Arabic numerals in the appropriate positions in the text.
• Footnote numbers should be placed after punctuation.
• Information on interviews, archival sources, websites and non-standard references should be given in footnotes, not in the reference list.

Tables and Figures

• Tables and figures must be prepared on separate pages and not included as part of the main text.
• Tables and figures should be numbered consecutively by Arabic numerals.
• The approximate position of tables and figures should be indicated in the manuscript.
• Captions should include keys to symbols and should be grouped together.
• All tables must have title legends.
• Figures will not normally be redrawn by the publisher and authors are requested to supply professionally drawn copies suitable for printing.
• Artwork should also be sent in electronic form with the article. Please save artwork in either Encapsulated Postscript Format (EPS), Tagged Image File Format (TIFF), jpeg (.JPG) or pict (.PCT) format.
• Please note that Europe-Asia Studies cannot print figures in colour.

References

References should use the Harvard system for published works, i.e. authors' name, date of publication, and page numbers (if required) in brackets in the text. e.g. 'Sakwa (1999, pp. 141-42) suggested that …' and 'recent studies have shown that … (Aleksashenko 1999, p.79; Hanson 1996; Volkov 1999, p. 748)'.

• If reference is made to more than one publication by an author in the same year this should be indicated by lower case letters in alphabetical order immediately after the year of publication. Full details should then be provided in a section under the heading References at the end of the manuscript, giving authors' last name and initials, date of publication, and for books, title of book, place of publication and publisher; for articles, name of journal, volume and issue numbers.
• Titles of journals should be given in full.
• References to works that are themselves of historical significance should have the date of first publication in the text and the list of references, with a supplementary note if page references are made to a later edition.
• Footnotes should be used for references to archival material, interviews/personal correspondence and non-standard reference material.
• Where print versions of online sources exist both versions can be cited, but this is not compulsory, however authors should be mindful of citing the most easily accessible source, as well as the most durable online source.

Style conventions

Please take note of the following conventions adopted by Europe-Asia Studies when preparing your manuscript.

• All non-English words should be in italic script, and along with all non-English names, they should be spelled with accents and diacritical marks included.
• All numbers greater than 10 should be expressed in numerical form rather than in words.
• Please use symbols for %, $, and £.
• Rubles may be expressed by 'R' before the number.
• Where interviews or personal correspondence is mentioned, authors should provide name of interviewee (or anonymous), date of interview/correspondence and location of interview.
• Where websites or online sources are cited, authors should provide as many details as possible, including URL, information on authorship, year of publication, title of document/report and date accessed.
• Europe-Asia Studies uses UK English. Use -ise, -isation, etc (realise, organisation, etc) throughout
• Quoted matter up to 50 words or so may be included in the main text using single quotes (double quotes within quotes). Displayed quotes of more than 50 words are indented from the text and do not require quotes.
• An ellipsis ( … ) within continuous text is usually indicated by three points, a fourth should be added at the end if the ellipsis finishes a sentence.
• The expressions in litt., op. cit. and ibid. should be avoided.
• Minimal hyphenation is preferred.
• Abbreviations should be given in full at first mention, followed by the abbreviation in brackets.
• Please give all organisations, political parties etc, in original language at first mention.

Transliteration of Russian to English

Europe-Asia Studies uses a system of transliteration from Russian, adapted from the BGN/PCGN system. Please refer to this table. Exceptions may be made for names of well-known people where a different spelling has become conventional e.g. Trotsky.
