Abstract and Keywords
The manuscript should have an abstract of 200-250 words and a list of 6 (six) keywords. Both the Abstract and Keywords should be in English language.
Text Layout
Submissions to Intellectus should be about 7500 words (maximum) in length and be prepared according to the following style:
The layout should be simple, and of a consistent style in terms of font, headings, paragraphs, and spacing.
Articles should be typewritten using Times New Roman 12pt and should be justified. All headings should be formatted as bold, left indented with double spacing above and a single space below.
The headings should have a continuous numbering starting with ‘0’ for the ‘Introduction’ (i.e., 0. Introduction, 1. Heading A, 2. Heading B etc.), the sub-headings and sub-sub-headings should be numbered accordingly (e.g., as 1.1, or 2.1.1 etc.).
The first line of every paragraph should be indented. There must be minimal use of underlining, italics, upper and lowercase letters. Non-English terms, emphasis, and title of any material should be set in italics rather than underlined. Intellectus follows the British style of quotation, which means single quotation marks are for dialogue and quoted materials in the text, while double quotation marks are for quotes inside quotes. In addition, all quoted texts that are longer than three lines (about fifty words) should be consistently indented, with a single space between the previous texts and between the consequent texts.
Any image contained in the manuscript should be forwarded separately, along with the submission, in jpg format and not more than 150 KB in size.
Note that every submission must be accompanied with a Cover letter.
