«Instructions for Contributors»
Authors should send the electronic version of their contribution to filneot@elalmendro.org as well as a hard copy to the Journal’s address. Since modern Mac versions provide easy PC-conversion, manuscripts should be written preferably in PC and with Word word-processor. Exceptionally, authors might be requested to send a floppy-disk or a pdf file of their contribution.
For non-Latin characters, contributors are requested to employ preferably Unicode fonts or, in case this is not possible, the fonts referred to in the ‘font instructions’ in Biblica’s site. Exceptionally Sgreek and SPIonic may be also accepted.
In case the editors consider it necessary, authors will be sent proofs of their contributions in a pdf file by email. As it is assumed that articles submitted for publication are in their definitive form, no major changes are possible at this stage. The (normally) very few errata should be typed in Word document, indicating page, paragraph and line, and sent by email.
Footnotes: Notes to the text are to be inserted in the same file as footnotes and not as endnotes. They should be indicated with a raised arabic numeral without parentheses immediately following the appropriate word in the text and always precede the punctuation, if any. E.g: "... the meaning"1. In the footnotes themselves no period is to be used after the number. Example: 1 The same expression... .
References to books and articles are to be placed in the footnotes and should be given as follows:
