Author Guidelines

Style for notes and bibliography followed by Roczniki Kulturoznawcze

Dear Authors, we adopted the Chicago Style of Citation, described in the Chicago Manual of Style [Notes and Bibliography] (16th ed.). Find the essential CMOS tutorials here: link (English) and PDF (Polish).

Please, pay special attention to two things:

1. For notes and bibliography ALWAYS spell out the author’s given name(s); an initial is not sufficient.
2. Editorial words in a note (in bibliography) are in the language in which you submit your article (e.g., “ed./Edited, trans./Translated by” for English, “red., tłum.” for Polish, or “Hg.” for German, respectively).

Pay attention to some differences between notes and bibliography. The following guide uses separate examples to show them. Note that comma is the main separator in notes; in bibliography, full stop (period) separates the main elements, while comma separates minor ones. For convenience, the following colour code is used:

BOOKS - RED
ARTICLES - GREEN
BIBLIOGRAPHY - BLUE

BOOKS

In notes, the location, publisher and year are enclosed in parentheses.

1) ONE AUTHOR:

First citation:
Robert Young, Postcolonialism: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2003), 2.
Zbigniew Zembrzuski, Ekumenizm w Warszawie. Studium Historyczno-Teologiczne (Warszawa: Oficyna Poligraficzno-Wydawnicza Adam 2001), 21.

Subsequent (short) citations:

Note: for manuscripts written in Polish, the conjunction “i” is not preceded by a comma. In general, use a conjunction that is appropriate for the language of your manuscript. The same applies to quotation marks and the relative position of the comma or full stop.

Subsequent citations:
Ashcroft, Griffiths, and Tiffin, Key Concepts in Postcolonial Studies, 41.

Bibliography entry:
Note: only the first author’s names are switched over. The surname is followed by a comma.

ARTICLE IN A JOURNAL

1) ARTICLE IN A PRINT JOURNAL

1) In a note, indicate a specific page range (where your quotation can be found); in a bibliography give the page range for the whole article.
2) Article page ranges are preceded by a colon in the first citation and bibliography, but with a comma in every subsequent (short) note. Note, that for article titles and page numbers, a specific comma–quote or quote–comma order should be used, as appropriate for the language in which you are writing.

First citation:
Keith L. Sprunger, “Ames, Ramus, and the Method of Puritan Theology,” The Harvard Theological Review 59 (1966): 133.

2) ARTICLE IN AN ONLINE JOURNAL:

The bibliographical entry should be followed by a DOI (not URL) number, and (optionally) access date. Generally, if the stable identifier (doi) is used, there is no need to supply an access date. For websites which might be changed, removed, it is always a good idea to provide an access date.
