line spacing: 1.5; margins: 2.5 cm;

in merged files, page numbering must be consistent and continuous;
abbreviations must be used consistently throughout the entire work;
in edited volumes, chapter titles, footnotes, bibliographies, and citations must follow a unified formatting style throughout the entire monograph;
footnotes must be uniform throughout the volume (footnotes at the bottom of the page, 10-point font size, single spacing); in footnotes, the initial of the author’s given name must precede the surname;
bibliographic entries must follow a consistent citation style; ISO 690 is the preferred style;
items in the bibliography should be arranged alphabetically by authors’ surnames, or – in the case of edited volumes – by scientific editors’ surnames or by titles; in the bibliography, the initial of the author’s given name follows the surname;
all tables must be fully editable;
tables must be numbered and provided with titles (title placed above the table);
charts, diagrams, figures, and photographs (hereafter: figures) must be numbered and captioned (caption placed below the figures);
in edited volumes, numbering of tables and figures must be continuous within each chapter;
equations must be editable and created with Microsoft Equation Editor;
illustrations intended for publication must be of high quality and have consistent formatting and captions; each illustration should be submitted as a separate file:
- photographs and drawings: *jpg files with a resolution of at least 300 dpi,
- if charts require editing during the editorial process, they must be created in Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, or Microsoft Excel;table titles and CDFP captions must be placed directly in the text in an editable format (Word), not as *jpg files;
for texts written in English, decimal numbers must follow the English notation (example: PL 0,3 but EN 0.3).

6. If the manuscript does not meet the above editorial requirements, the Publishing House may return the materials to the author and set a deadline for preparing them in accordance with these Guidelines.
