INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS            pdf 

 

1. In the thematic series "Engineering Geology and Hydrogeology", original scientific papers are printed in Bulgarian and English. Recommended volume of manuscripts is up to 20 typographic pages, including the references and illustrations.

2. In the Editorial Board, the manuscript is submitted on CD/DVD or e-mail together with a printed copy of A4 format (optional), written in MS Word: Times New Roman font 12 pt, fields 2.5 cm left and 2 cm to the other sides, with a line spacing of 1.5 lines.

The articles in English are presented with an extended summary in Bulgarian - up to 1 standard page and short in English - up to ½ page. Abstracts should not contain references or quotations, nor an assessment of the author's achievements. Abbreviations are not allowed in the title of the article.

4. The article is arranged in the following way: Title; Author (s) – First and Family name, business address of the author(s) and address for contact including e-mail (in English, in Roman script). Title; Author (s) – First and Family name (in Bulgarian). Before the Abstracts, a bibliographic description in English is given in the following order: author(s), year, title, source, volume, pages (filled in by the editors). Following is an Abstracts in English, followed by a list of keywords (up to six) and a summary in Bulgarian with listed keywords.

5. The statement shall be clear and consistent with the terminology adopted. Word or title underlines are not allowed.

6. The units of measurement shall be compulsorily assigned to the SI system. Formulas and chemical symbols must clearly distinguish between lower and uppercase letters, indices, and degrees. When the text is in Bulgarian, the decimal separator in the numbers is written with a comma and in English with a period (full stop).

7. The transliteration of the Bulgarian geographical names into the Latin alphabet should be in accordance with Regulation No. 3/26.10.2006, promulgated in State Gazette, No. 94 / 21.11.2006.

8. References. The list of references is given after the presented text in English (or using the Roman script) as the authors are arranged in alphabetical order and chronologically.

It is desirable that the archive materials should not be included in the reference list but should be quoted on the relevant page below the line.

10. In the text, the sources are quoted by the author's name and year of publication (Bryant, 2001), (DeGraff, Canuti, 1988; Marinova, Zagorchev, 1990). In collective articles by more than two authors, only the first is noted, adding "et al." (Wright et al., 1974).
