Guidelines for Authors

Authors should contact the editorial committee at architectural.archeology@yandex.ru (or zakomara@yandex.ru, jin-arx@yandex.ru, elreserva@ya.ru) to submit the papers for publication.

Below are the overall editorial policies for Architectural Archeology Journal. Famaliarize yourself with them before submitting the paper:

1. For the main body, Architectural Archeology Journal prefers to receive a single complete file in Word’s .docx format. The file should be named as "Surname_text" and include the following parts: — main text of the article; — list of references (see below, p. 5); — a list of figure captions (see below, p. 4); — abstract (up to 700 characters and spaces); — keywords (up to 7–10 words and phrases); — author’s information (see below, p. 6); — list of abbreviations.

So that we can easily identify the parts of your paper, please place each section on a separate sheet. The total volume of all listed text materials should not exceed 40,000 characters and spaces.

2. While working with a Word’s file, use Times New Roman font (size 12) and 1.5 spacing throughout the text; text formatting should be automatic. In the title, initials should be placed before the author’s surname. The name should be written in capital letters.

3. The supplementary materials should be submitted in separate .tiff or .jpg files (they should be named "Author’s surname_1.tiff", "Author’s surname_2.jpg", etc.). Please do not insert them into the text of the article. The number of figures should not exceed the number of pages of the text of the article divided by 2. The files should be numbered according to the order in which they are mentioned in the text of the article. In the text of the article, markup (links to numbers) of figures is required. For black-and-white illustrations, numbering is to be given in Arabic numerals, and links inserted into the text should have the following form: (Fig. 1: a, b), (Fig. 2). For colour illustrations, numbering is to be given in Roman numerals, and links should have the following form: (Fig. I on a colour insert: a, b), (Fig. II on a colour insert). All black-and-white illustrations should be scanned using greyscale mode, at a scale of 1:1, with photographs at a resolution of at least 300 dpi, and line arts at least 600 dpi.

4. The figure caption should contain the following information: object, title of the illustration, author, date and location of archival materials (collection, city/country).

For example:

Fig. 1. Znamenskaya (Pyatnitskaya) Church in Vladimir. Archival photograph, 1958. View from the north;

Fig. 2. St. George's Cathedral of Yuryev Monastery. Plan according to the intermediate results of works on the floor. Drawn by A. A. Popova, 2014

The caption should contain a brief description of all symbols in the figure. Figure captions and legends are not to be inserted into the graphic file.

5. The list of references is to be given in alphabetical order and consist of two parts. The first part should include publications in Cyrillic, and the second one — in Latin. The titles of field research reports are to be included in the general list. The list of references is to be compiled in the usual bibliographic order. When referring to a book, the number of pages should be indicated, as well as the range of pages of the publication, when referring to an article or section of a monograph. The responsible editor of the book is to be indicated necessarily, as well as the place of publication and publisher (in very this order). The works of one author are to be arranged in chronological order. When referring to different works of the same author, published in the same year, letters are added to the year in alphabetical order in the bibliographic list and in the text of the article.
