Manuscripts are submitted via Journal.fi (OJS) system (Make A Submission).

Manuscripts intended for the journal may be written in Finnish, English, German or Swedish. The editorial staff approves manuscripts for publication after they have been reviewed by a referee. The recommended length of an article is approximately 15 pages (A4). All manuscripts must include an summary in English not over one page in length. The author is responsible for having the language of a foreign-language article checked. A certificate of translation or language checking must be included with the manuscript. The text should not be hyphenated and it should contain minimal formatting. The font size is 12, the font type is Times New Roman and spacing between rows is 1.5.

Footnotes

The article should contain footnotes without a separate list of sources. The font size of the single-spaced footnotes is 10. All the bibliographical information of a book must be given the first time it is mentioned. The name of the source is written in italics, the title of the article enclosed in quotation marks and the referenced pages given, separated by a comma. For example:

• Robert Bideleux and Ian Jeffries, A History of Eastern Europe. Crisis and Change. Routledge, London and New York 2001, 110–112.
