Submissions

Author Guidelines

1. STRUCTURE OF THE SUBMITTED TEXT
Please include the following before the main text:

Author's last name and first name (e.g. Smith, John)
Title of the paper
Abstract (approx. 500–1000 characters)
Keywords (min. 3 pcs.)

The main text should be divided into chapters and, if necessary, into subchapters.
E.g.: I. Introduction
E.g.: IV.2. Theoretical approaches

2. FOOTNOTES AND REFERENCES
Only footnotes that add comments, additions, etc. to the main text should be added to the body of the text. Footnotes containing purely literary references should not be included. Literary references should be included in the main text in the following format:

If the author of the cited work is mentioned in the text, the year of publication of the cited work, and, if necessary, the page number(s) should be given in parentheses after the name.
E.g.: MacIntyre (1967:35)

In other cases (quotation, etc.), the name(s) of the author(s), the year of publication and, if necessary, the page number(s) referred to should be given in parentheses.
E.g.: (Roth 1979:35)

In the case of a multiple-author reference, the surnames should be separated by spaces and a hyphen.
E.g.: (Roth – Schuster 1980:114)

3. BIBLIOGRAPHY
After the main text, starting on a separate page, please include the bibliography, entitled "Literature". The bibliography contains the complete literature cited in the main text and footnotes in strict alphabetical order according to the authors' last names, in such a way that the references in the text can be identified in the bibliography. The bibliography should not include works not cited in the text. In the case of online sources, please include the URL of the item and in any case (if available) the DOI identifier (in the form of a clickable link) as well. If some details of the referenced work are unknown, please also indicate this fact (e.g.: s.n. – sine nomine / author or publisher name unknown; s.a. – sine anno / year of publication unknown; s.l. – sine loco / place of publication unknown).

The basic form of literary references in our journal is as follows:

Book: Author(s) (year of publication): Title of the work. Place of publication: name of the publisher.
E.g..: Smith, John (1999): Psychology. New York: Columbia.
E.g.: Horváth Pál (s.a.): Rejtélyek és talányok. s.l.: s.n.

Journal article: Author(s) (year of publication): Title of the article. Name of the journal, volume number (issue number): starting and ending page numbers of the article.
E.g.: Tóth István (2026): Integráció. Szellem és Tudomány, 17(1):1–14. https://doi.org/10.32966/szellem.2026.054

Article included in a comprehensive work: Author(s) (year of publication): Title of the article. In Name of editor(s) of the collected volume (ed. or ed(s) or Hrsg.): Title of the volume. Place of publication: name of the publisher, first and last page numbers of the cited work.
E.g.: Drake, Francis – Miller, Jacob (1985): Theories on Space. In Novák Angéla – Nagy László (szerk.): Multidiszciplináris tanulmányok. Budapest: Osiris, 25–67.

4. TABLES, FIGURES, ILLUSTRATIONS
Please number and title the tables and figures/images in the text. The titles of the tables, the names of the columns and rows, and the explanations should be written in the language of the article. We therefore do not accept raw, unedited tables from data analysis and data processing programs, tables that are simply inserted into the text.

Submissions with notes / bibliography / tables or figures that do not comply with the guidelines will not be accepted!
