  • Text structure: the text should be divided into parts (chapters, subsections and sections numbered sequentially - e.g. 1, 1.1, 1.1.1; max. 3 levels). Keep the titles and subtitles short. Pages should be numbered.
  • Font: standard (eg Times New Roman, Calibri, Arial), please avoid type 3 fonts (check the font type in PDF File Properties). Font size in the text: chapter titles: 16pt, subsection titles: 14pt :, main text: 12pt, footnotes: 10pt.

  • Examples: Krugman (1980) found that… ..while Melitz and Ottaviano (2008) argue that…. According to so called new-new trade theory (Melitz, 2003)… .. Several studies (Krugman, 1980a, 1980b; Melitz, 2003; Melitz & Ottaviano, 2008) reveal that….
  • Attachment bibliography (a full list of all works cited in the text) should be arranged alphabetically (and chronologically in the case of the same author) and drawn up in accordance with the rules of the APA style.
  • Please use double space between lines and a protrusion of 0.5 cm in each bibliographic position. Please pay special attention to the fact that a paragraph break is only at the end of each bibliographic entry, and not separate individual lines within one entry.
  • A detailed description of the rules for creating references and formatting a bibliography according to the APA style can be found here and here. Examples:
  • Articles in journals: Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (year). Article title. Journal Title, volume number (issue number), page numbers. doi: xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (year). Article title. Journal Title, volume number (issue number), page numbers. Retrieved from http: //www.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Author, A. A., Author, B.

In order to maximize the 'visibility' of works on the Internet, we recommend creating an Author's profile and adding works in the SSRN system and in the CEON repository, as well as creating a profile on the Google Scholar Citations website that allows you to track citations in Google Scholar and through the Publish Or Perish overlay.
