Formatting

You can use either American or British spelling, but please be consistent. 

All manuscripts should have line spacing 1.5 and follow Times New Roman 12. Place a blank line between paragraphs instead of indenting the first line of the paragraph. Do not format the text otherwise, except for words that need to be italicized. Do not number subheadings.

Quotes over 40 words in length should be indented from the left margin . For shorter quotations, double smart quotation marks [“...”] are primarily used.

Do not use abbreviations in the body of the text. Abbreviations can be used in footnotes and within parentheses.

If transliteration of Cyrillic letters into Latin alphabet is needed, please follow the British Standard.

 

References

Text: Citations in the text should follow the Chicago Manual (author - date) Reference Style. More detailed directions and examples can be found here: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-2.html

List: References should be arranged alphabetically and chronologically, in case of multiple citations from the same author(s). More than one reference from the same author(s) in the same year must be identified by the letters 'a', 'b', 'c', etc., placed after the year of publication. 

Some examples:

Siim, Pihla Maria and Laura Assmuth.  2016a. ”Mobility Patterns  between  Estonia and  Finland:  What  about  the Children?” In Cultural Patterns and Life Stories, edited by Kirsti Jõesalu, and Anu Kannike, 273–304. Acta Universitatis Tallinnensis, Socialia. Tallinn: Tallinn University Press.

Siim, Pihla Maria, and Laura Assmuth. 2016b. “Kotona kahdessa  maassa?  Ylirajaisen  lapsuuden  tulkinnat  Suomeen  muuttaneissa  virolaisissa  lapsiperheissä.[At home in two countries? The interpretations of childhood of transborder families which re-located to from Estonia to Finland] ”  In Lapset ja nuoret muuttoliikkeessä.Nuorten elinolot-vuosikirja 2016 [The migration of children and youth. The yearbook of Living conditions of youth 2016], edited by Antti Kivijärvi and Marja Peltola, 91–104. Helsinki: Nuorisotutkimusseura.  http://urn.fi/URN:ISBN:978-952-7175-19-4

 

In-Text Citations

References to literature are placed in parentheses at the relevant point in the text. Notes in the form of footnotes may be used for clarification and discussion but should be used sparingly. Citations should mention the name of the author(s) and year of publication, as well as page numbers in parentheses (e.g., Virtanen 1999, 125–135). (See further examples below.) References to page numbers are not abbreviated (i.e. not 125–35); the abbreviations “p.” and “pp.” are not used. Note that a dash (–) is used with page numbers, as well as with other numbers, instead of a hyphen (-).

Examples:

One author: Virtanen (1999, 127) or (Virtanen 1999).

Two authors: Fingerroos and Peltonen (2006, 127) or (Fingerroos & Peltonen 2006).

Three authors: Banks, Koskinen-Koivisto and Seitsonen (2017, 127) or (Banks, Koskinen-Koivisto & Seitsonen 2017) 

Four of more authors: Suopajärvi et al. (2019, 127) or (Suopajärvi et al. 2019) 

Citation of multiple references within parentheses separate them with semicolons in order of the publication year: (Virtanen 1999; Fingerroos & Peltonen 2006).

When a publication bears no author's name and is published by a group, government agency, or an association, the name of that group may serve as the author in text references or reference lists: (The World Economic Forum 2017).

Two or more works by the same author: (Pink 2007; 2009)

Manuscripts accepted for publication but not yet published: Partanen and Kivinen (in press) or (Partanen & Kivinen, in press).

In case of a second hand reference use (Mead 1928, as cited in Wolf 2011, 34). Both Mead and Wolf then require full entries in the reference list.

Dictionaries and encyclopedias: (Merriam-Webster Dictionary 2016).
