Instructions to authors
The lectures/papers and posters presented at the Wellmann International Scientific Conference will be
published in English on a CD with ISBN number as a conference publication. The Conference CD will
accept only papers that have not appeared in any other publications and they are not under
publication process either.
In order to achieve the correct form of the publication and help the editorial work please all the authors
follow these instructions below:
■
The manuscript should be typed single spaced and justified using Winword 7.0 (or a similar,
convertible programme) in Times New Roman CE font, simple lines, and 12 pt characters. The
language of articles is English; the size of the sheet is A/4.
■
Use a margin of 3 cm-s on the left, while 2.5 cm-s on the other edges (right, top and bottom).
■
Titles should be concise, consisting of maximum of 2 lines, and should be typed in bold centred,
capital characters. After a line spacing the authors' names should be typed centred using bold small
capital characters. The place and address of employment of each author are also centred and should
be written beneath the authors' names after a line spacing, using normal characters. The next line
should be the leading author’s e-mail address in normal letters, centred.
■
Next, a summary (ABSTRACT) should be written in the manuscript, where the word ABSTRACT
should be typed bold capitals. The whole text of the ABSTRACT should be written in 10pt normal
letters. (The length of the ABSTRACT should be at least 10 and no longer than 25 lines.)
■
Keywords (max. 5) should be given in English after the ABSTRACT.
■
The articles should consist of the following sections
■ Introduction: (objective and review of relevant literature). The introduction should contain
preliminaries, critical evaluation of relevant literature, the hypothesis and the objective of the
paper. Publication should be cited with the surname(s) of the author(s) and the year of
publication written in small capitals and put it in parentheses. No parentheses are used when the
name is highlighted.
■ Material and method: This section should contain the description of all materials and
procedures used in the experiment(s) or investigation(s) involved, together with any biometrical
methods applied, the size and traits of sample, and all the significant circumstances and
information about the work.

Results: In this section the results obtained should be presented with relevant tables and
illustrations that can help understanding. Reference should be made in the text to the tables and
illustrations used, but repeated statements should not be made of the data contained in these.
Compare your own results with that of the professional literature and explain the differences.
Conclusions or discussion: This section should contain conclusions to be drawn from the
results presented and guidelines for practical applications.
Acknowledgements (if relevant): Institutions, organizations or foundations, which financed the
work involved in the research and/or the publication, can be mentioned here.
References: These should include only works cited in the publication. References should be
listed without ordinal numbers, in alphabetical order of the author's surname (written in small
capitals); in the case of several authors contributing to the article all names should be quoted,
the names to be separated by commas. The year of publication should follow in parentheses,
then a colon and subsequently the title of the work, the title of the journal in which it appeared,
■
the year of publication or volume number and the first and last page numbers of the relevant
paper. Where books are cited, the name(s) of the author(s) (written in small caps) and the year
of publication should be followed by the original title of the book in its language of publication,
the name of the publishing company and the town/city in which it is based, and the numbers of
the pages cited. Where the same author has more than one publication in a year, lower case
letters should be used (e.g. 1999a, 1999b, etc.).
The titles of the chapters (after two lines spacing) should be placed centred in bold capitals, while
the titles of the sub-chapters (after one line spacing) should be written in bold normal letters, left
align. For further possible sub-chapters please use bold normal italics.
■
Within a chapter paragraphs should begin left align with no indent in the first lines of the text.

When citations are written within the text, the family names of the authors (divided by semi-colons)
should be written in bold small caps in parenthesis and the names should be followed by the year of
publication.
■
The scientific names of plants and animals (and any other text you wish to highlight) should be
written in italics.

Please do not apply foot-notes in your paper.
■
Figures and tables should be placed in the text and numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals.
The number and the title of tables should be written centred above the table while in case of figures
in the same style under the figures. The source should be given under the table (without leaving one
line spacing), while in case of figures they should be written under the title of the figure. Table and
figure citations should be written in italics in the text. Please do not apply photos. If it is absolutely
necessary, please note, that the publication is black-and-white. Please remember to give the sources
of the photos as well.
