Guidelines for authors

Send contributions by e-mail to info@theatrica.sk

Authors can submit professional studies, essays, analyzes, reviews or their own artwork. The suitability of the texts for the Theatrica magazine will be assessed by the Editorial Board, which reserves the right to approve the possible publication of the paper. Professional studies, which should be representative texts on the main topics of basic research in theatrology, musicology, art history, or other related fields, will be the subject of a subsequent review by two independent reviewers. This procedure will be mutually anonymous. Copyrights with authors and reviewers will be governed by license agreements. Authors can send texts in Slovak, English, German, Italian or Czech. An obligatory part of professional studies is the title, abstract, summary and keywords in Slovak and English. The editors will inform the authors about the final decision to publish or not to publish the submitted papers within 2-6 weeks of the delivery of the paper to the editors.

The submitted contribution must include a contact form with the following information:

Author’s profile:
Name, place of work, ORCID and a brief CV of about 7 lines.

Abstract (only for professional studies and analyzes):
An abstract in Slovak and English must be attached to professional studies (both approx. 1000 characters).

Keywords (for all contributions) in Slovak and English (at least 5).
