    General Norms

    1. Editorial Instructions for Contributors' are available as a downloadable PDF document in our on-line version: www.bsw.org/project/biblica.

    2. Manuscripts (articles, short notes and book reviews) submitted to the Editorial Staff of Biblica are expected to conform to these instructions, before they are considered for publication. Manuscripts that depart from these instructions will be returned to authors for reworking.

    3. Biblica accepts contributions in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. In no case should articles that appear elsewhere or are available on line, in the same or a different language, be submitted to this journal.

    4. It is assumed that manuscripts received are in their final form with no changes expected later. Authors are kindly asked to send a carefully edited version of their manuscripts and also send us full information on their academic degree(s), position and address, together with the e-mail address that functions normally at the ordinary level of spam defense.

    5. Manuscripts should be written in the Times New Roman font and non-Latin characters should be written with the help of the fonts indicated below.

    6. Authors should send us by e-mail, as an attached file, the electronic version of the article or book review. The Microsoft Word program should, where possible, be used in the composition of this version. For this purpose please use the following e-mail address: biblica@bsw.org. If manuscripts are particularly complex — e.g. when different non-Latin characters are used — please also send us a PDF version. In special cases we may request a printed manuscript.

    7. Contributions submitted for publication should not be longer than 55,000 characters (not including spaces) including footnotes, and should be accompanied by a summary of about 100 words (or less, in the case of short communications) giving their main point and principal arguments. Footnotes should be ?created? as such, i.e. at the bottom of the page on which a number referring to them appears, and normally they together should not occupy more than ¼th of the whole text. Titles of articles should not be longer than 12 words (including biblical quotations). Word for word quotations from modern authors, in the text or in the footnotes, should be kept to a minimum.
