Author Guidelines

Manuscripts can be submitted in German (current orthography norm), English, Dutch or some Nordic languages. The texts should be sent by e-mail (bbgn@phil.muni.cz) in docx, rtf, doc or compatible formats. Articles should not exceed 20 pages (with respect to the traditional typesetting norm - ca. 36 000 characters), including notes; reviews, reports and information should not exceed 5 pages of the same norm (9 000 characters). The articles should be accompanied by a title, abstract and key words in English.

In order to achieve a consistent formatting, it is recommended to use the sample document with format templates, which are supplied in the Style sheet for publication.

Use of AI tools

The guidelines below summarize the basic principles of working with artificial intelligence:

  • Authors, reviewers, and editors must transparently declare the generative use of AI, retain full responsibility for content, and protect confidential data.
  • AI cannot be listed as a co-author, and the results of AI detectors serve only as supporting information.
  • The detailed wording of the rules, including examples of citations, sample statements, and a glossary of terms, can be found in the document Recommendations for the Use of AI in Publishing at FF MU.
