Author Guidelines

The papers should not be over 8000 words using 12 Garamond.
Abstracts should not be over 100 words, and Key Words must include 5 words.
2. Style Sheet
All papers must follow the Style Sheet available for Transletters.
3. Quotation of books, editions and periodical articles
Harvard Referencing System should be used.
When citing within the text, the author’s surname and the year of publication must be included:
Example 1: Recording personal achievements can be used a reflective tool and can help an individual identify their own skills and expertise (Cottrell, 2015).
Example 2: Cottrell (2015) suggests that recording personal achievements can be used as a reflective tool and can help an individual identify their own skills and expertise.
In-text direct quotes must include the name of author, year of publication and page.
Example: The purpose of translation is to reconstitute “the foreign text in accordance with the values, beliefs and representations” (Venuti, 2008: 13).
When quoting a book which has been translated the name of the translator must appear. A book with no publication place specified must be cited as s.l. (= sine loco) and with no date as s.d. (= sine dato).
All sources that have been mentioned in the main text need to be listed, alphabetically, in the referencing section using the Harvard Referencing System.
