Titles of articles should be concise and descriptive and should not exceed one hundred characters. Texts of more than 10,000 characters should include sub-heads: major sub-heads should appear on a separate line; secondary sub-heads appear flush left preceding the first sentence of a paragraph. Extended abstracts (4,000 to 6,000 characters) are requested for all articles, preferably in both English and Slovene. Each table or figure must appear on a separate page after the Notes.

The letters a, b, c, etc. should be used to distinguish different citations by the same author in the same year (Kosec 1934a; Kosec 1934b). Essential notes, or citations of unusual sources, should be indicated by superscript numbers in the text and collected on a separate page at the end of the article. Author notes should identify authors by complete name, title, and affiliation. Acknowledgements may include information about financial support and other assistance in preparing the manuscript.
