Information For Authors

SOCIOLOGY AND SPACE is a quarterly journal for spatial and socio-cultural development studies. It publishes only scientific papers dealing with the sociology of space (both urban and rural) and related disciplines (urbanism, architecture, social geography, demography, urban economics, urban anthroplogy, social ecology, etc.).

Submitted articles receive two (occasionally three) double-blind peer reviews, cannot be previously published and are in the Croatian and English language.

Articles (including footnotes, bibliography, charts and tables, abstract) may be up to 27 cards of text in length (one card of text consists of 1,800 characters with spaces). Each article is preceded by an abstract in Croatian and English, up to 250 words in length, followed by keywords (maximum number of words is 8) which reveal the theoretical approaches, methodology, empirical results or the line of reasoning in the manuscript.

Reviews are not strictly limited to space issues and cannot have more than 8 cards of text. Reviewed books and journals have to be published within the last three years. Each review states the name of the author and the title of the reviewed work, the publisher, the place and date of publication and the number of pages. Each review is signed by the reviewer’s full name.

All papers are submitted electronically in Word format (font 12) using OJS system.

The first page of the paper contains the author’s full name, e-mail address, the place of  employment (name and address), the paper title.

Pages are numbered at the bottom right hand corner (bibliography pages included). Foot- notes are numbered and placed at the bottom of the page.

Every chapter, tables and figures are numbered and clearly captioned, their source mentioned. Tables are black and white in standard MS Office programmes.

Italic type is to be avoided unless it is used for terms which are in contrast with the rest of the text. Words and  phrases  from  foreign  languages  (unless  they  are  quotes)  are written in italic type. Movie titles, art and music works are also written in italic (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, the Troubadour, da Vinci’s Mona Lisa).

Dates are written as follows: 7th December 1981. Numbers which are at the beginning of a sentence and approximate numbers are written as follows: a hundred, a thousand, a million. Numbers over 10,000 are written using commas, e.g. 105,278; 8,753,875,000.

For direct quotes, quotation marks are used. A direct quote from another author’s text is put in quotation marks. If a part of the quoted text is omitted, this is marked as follows: […]. Works in the bibliography are listed in alphabetical order. If several works of one author are listed and the year of release is the same, letters a, b, c etc. are put after the   year of publication.
