REFERENCES: (Cambria, 10pt, Bold. Spacing: Before 12pt; After 6pt. Line spacing: At least; At 13pt) The list of references should be complete and accurate. For each work shown in the list of references, there must be a reference in the text.

Beginning with Volume 5, Issue 1 / 2023, the citation of authors in the text will follow the 7th edition of the APA style (American Psychological Association), instead of the previously used Vancouver style.

Citations in the text and the list of references should follow the referencing style used by the American Psychological Association, the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. Details concerning this referencing style can be found at http://www.library.cornell.edu/resrch/citmanage/apa. Authors can also use citation machine at http://citationmachine.net/

References should be arranged first alphabetically and then further sorted chronologically if necessary. 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.

In every article there should be at least 20 references and majority of references have to be from SCOPUS/Web of Science. The authors should concentrate on the references to publications for recent years.

Authors are required to complete the reference in a list of literature used with DOI (Digital Object Identifier) if it has been assigned to the publication. To search for the DOI, please visit: http://www.crossref.org/guestquery/

• In-text citations: The citation of authors in the text will follow the 7th edition of the APA style.

Every use of information from other sources must be cited in the text so that it is clear that external material has been used. For every in-text citation, there should be a full citation in the reference list and vice versa. In APA style, in-text citations are placed within sentences and paragraphs so that it is clear what and whose data or information is being quoted or paraphrased.

If the author is already mentioned in the main text then the year should follow the name within parentheses.

• Research by Posea (2005) and Ielenicz (2003) supports…

If the author's name is not mentioned in the main text then the surname and year should be inserted, in parentheses, after the relevant text. Multiple citations should be separated by semicolon and follow alphabetical order.

• The petrographic composition of the massif explains this type of relief (Ielenicz, 2003; Posea, 2005).

If three or fewer authors are cited from the same citation then all should be listed. If four or more authors are part of the citation then ‘et al.’ should follow the first author's name.

• (Ielenicz, Comanescu & Nedelea, 2010)
• (Ielenicz et al., 2008)

If multipe sources are used from the same author and the same year, then a lowercase letter, starting from ‘a’, should be placed after the year.

• (Ielenicz, 2003a; Ielenicz, 2003b)

If you are directly quoting from a work, you will need to include the author, year of publication, and page number for the reference (preceded by "p." for a single page and “pp.” for a span of multiple pages, with the page numbers separated by an en dash).

You can introduce the quotation with a signal phrase that includes the author's last name followed by the date of publication in parentheses.

• According to Ielenicz (2003), "quoted text" (p. 199).
• Ielenicz (2003) found "quoted text" (pp. 199-202).

If you do not include the author’s name in the text of the sentence, place the author's last name, the year of publication, and the page number in parentheses after the quotation.

• The author stated, "quoted text" (Ielenicz, 2003, p. 199), but he did not offer an explanation as to why.

Authors with the Same Last Name: To prevent confusion, use first initials with the last names.

• (D. Privitera, 2004; A.C. Privitera, 2019)

The names of groups that serve as authors (corporate authors) are usually written out each time they appear in a text reference.

• (European Environment Agency [EEA], 2018)

When appropriate, the names of some corporate authors are spelled out in the first reference and abbreviated in all subsequent citations. The general rule for abbreviating in this manner is to supply enough information in the text citation for a reader to locate its source in the Reference List without difficulty.

• (EEA, 2018)

If the name of the group first appears in the narrative, put the abbreviation, a comma, and the year for the citation in parentheses after it.

• The European Environment Agency (EEA, 2023) state that extreme weather threat makes climate change adaptation a top priority.

When a paper has no author, use the first two or three words of the paper's title (using the first few words of the reference list entry, usually the title) as your text reference, capitalizing each word. Place the title in quotation marks if it refers to an article, chapter of a book, or Web page. Italicize the title if it refers to a book, periodical, brochure, or report.

• On climate change (“Climate and Weather”, 2010) …
• Guide to Hydrological Practices (2008)

Please do not include URLs in parenthetical citations.

 (Cambria, 10pt, Normal).

• Reference list: References follow the 7th edition of the APA style, which includes a dedicated section to the citation of electronic resources.

We strongly recommend the use of reference management software such as Mendeley or Zotero. The official APA style manual can be purchased through their website. (Cambria, 9pt, Normal, Idendation, Special: Hanging; By: 1cm; Line spacing: Single).

Triple-check your references details and their correspondence with the in-text citation. Be aware that despite doing our best to remediate possible issues, authors are responsible for the accuracy of references.

Non‐English references should contain, at the end, additional explanation in which language it was written. If the article contains English summary it should be mentioned. For example: 

Grahovac, M., Pivac, T. & Nedelcu, A. (2018). Značaj internet prezentacije za razvoj vinskog turizma Banata(Srpski i Rumunski Banat), SINTEZA 2017, International Scientific Conference on Information Technology and Data Related Research. (in Serbian with English abstract & summary)

Language and Text

Foreign concepts, proper nouns, names of institutions etc.

If the article discusses foreign institutions or businesses, the original name should be provided in parentheses. Foreign terms and phrases should be set in italics and followed by an English translation enclosed in parentheses; for example,   griko (the good food).

Spelling

Submissions must be made in English. Authors are welcome to use American or British spellings as long as they are used consistently throughout the whole of the submission.

• colour (UK) vs. color (US)

When referring to proper nouns and normal institutional titles, the official, original spelling must be used.

• World Health Organization, NOT   World Health Organisation

Grammar

American or English grammar rules may be used as long as they are used consistently and match the spelling format (see above). For instance, you may use a serial comma or not.

• red, white, and blue OR red, white and blue

Authors not proficient in English should have their manuscripts checked before submission by a competent or native English speaker. Presenting your work in a well-structured manuscript and in well-written English gives it its best chance for editors and reviewers to understand it and evaluate it fairly.

Font

The font used should be commonly available and in an easily readable size. This may be changed during the typesetting process.

Underlined text should be avoided whenever possible.

The use of bold or italicised text to emphasise a point is permitted, although it should be restricted to minimal occurrences to maximise its impact.

Lists

Use bullet points to denote a list without a hierarchy or order of value. If the list indicates a specific sequence then a numbered list must be used.

Lists should be used sparingly to maximise their impact.

Acronyms and Abbreviations

Except for units’ measurement, abbreviations are strongly discouraged. With abbreviations, the crucial goal is to ensure that the reader – particularly one who may not be fully familiar with the topic or context being addressed – is able to follow along. Spell out almost all acronyms on first use, indicating the acronym in parentheses immediately thereafter. Use the acronym for all subsequent references.

• Research completed by the International Geographical Union (IGU) shows …

A number of abbreviations are so common that they do not require the full text on the first instance of use. Examples of these can be found here.

Abbreviations should usually be in capital letters without full stops.

• USA, NOT U.S.A.

Common examples from Latin do not follow this rule, should be lower case and can include full stops.

• e.g., i.e., etc.

Use of footnotes/endnotes

Use endnotes rather than footnotes (we refer to these as ‘Notes’ in the online publication). These will appear at the end of the main text, before ‘References’.

Notes should be used only where crucial, clarifying information needs to be conveyed.

Avoid using notes for the purposes of referencing; use in-text citations instead.

Symbols

Symbols are permitted within the main text and datasets as long as they are commonly in use or an explanatory definition is included on their first usage.

Hyphenation, em and en dashes

For guidelines on hyphenation, please refer to an authoritative style guide, such as The Chicago Manual of Style (16th ed.) (US English) or Oxford’s New Hart’s Rules (UK English). Be consistent in your style of hyphenation.

Em dashes should be used sparingly. If they are present they should denote emphasis, change of thought or interruption to the main sentence; em dashes can replace commas, parentheses, colons or semicolons.

En dashes can be used to replace ‘to’ when indicating a range. No space should surround the dash.

• 10–25 years OR  pp. 10–65

Numbers

For numbers zero to nine please spell the whole words. Use figures for numbers 10 or higher. We are happy for authors to use either words or numbers to represent large whole numbers (i.e. one million or 1,000,000) as long as the usage is consistent throughout the text.

If the sentence includes a series of numbers then figures must be used in each instance.

• Thermal springs were found in the north of Bucharest at depths of 100, 175, and 230 m.

If the number appears as part of a dataset, in conjunction with a symbol or as part of a table then a figure must be used.

• This study confirmed that 7% of…

If a sentence starts with a number it must be spelt, or the sentence should be re-written so that it no longer starts with the number.

• Fifteen examples were found to exist… RE-WRITTEN:  The result showed that 15 examples existed…

Do not use a comma  for  a decimal place.

• 2.56 NOT  2,56

For numbers that are less than one a ‘0’ must precede the decimal point.

• 0.29 NOT .29

Units of measurement

Symbols following a figure to denote a unit of measurement must be taken from the latest SI brochure.

Formulae

Formulae must be proofed carefully by the author. Editors will not edit formulae. If special software has been used to create formulae, the way it is laid out is the way it will appear in the publication.

Tables  

Tables must be created using a word processor's table function, not tabbed text.

Tables should be included in the manuscript. The final layout will place the tables as close to their first citation as possible.

All tables must be cited within the main text and numbered with Arabic numerals in consecutive order (e.g. Table 1, Table 2, etc.).

Each table must have an accompanying descriptive title. This should clearly and concisely summarise the content and/or use of the table. A short additional table legend is optional to offer a further description of the table.

The title should be above the table (font 10pt) and the source of the data below (font 10pt). 

Example:

Table 1. This is a table. Tables should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited.

Year	Number of foreign tourists (millions)	Foreign currency cashing (USD billions)	Cashing increase compared to 1950
1950	25,3	2,1	-
1990	410,4	300,4	143,0
2010	940,0	919,0	437,6
2013	1, 087,0	1, 159,0	551,9
Source: UNWTO, 2015.

Tables should not include:

• Rotated text
• Images
• Vertical and Diagonal lines
• Multiple parts (e.g. ‘Table 1a’ and ‘Table 1b’). These should either be merged into one table, or separated into ‘Table 1’ and ‘Table 2’.

NOTE: If there are more columns than can be fitted on a single page, then the table will be placed horizontally on the page. If it still cannot be fitted horizontally on a page, the table will be broken into two.

Figures

All photographs, maps and graphs have to be named as Figure. The figures have to be enclosed in the text, in their order of appearance and should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numbers. The title (font 10pt) has to be  below the figure. All figures (photographs and maps) have to be submitted as a separate file. All graphs have to be submitted as a separate file in MS Excel format with all the data needed for making the graph.   The file should be named as the number of the figure in the main text. Example: Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. If a figure has been previously published, acknowledge the original source. Example:

 (a)

 (b)

Figure 1. This is a figure. Schemes follow the same formatting. If there are multiple panels, they should be listed as: (a) Description of what is contained in the first panel; (b) Description of what is contained in the second panel. Figures should be placed in the main text near to the first time they are cited. A caption on a single line should be centered.
