All contributors must submit their manuscripts via the online submission platform after registering. As part of the submission process, authors are required to comply with the guidelines listed below. Submissions that do not adhere to these guidelines may be returned. Please include your full details, contact and mail addresses as well as affiliations (if any).

Avar accepts submissions in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Submissions may take the form of short notes (2,000-4,000 words) and articles (6,000-12,000 words). Word counts include notes and references. 

 

Submissions must: 

  • be an original piece of work, having not been published before nor currently considered for publication elsewhere, either in printed or electronic form.
  • be in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • be anonymized. 
  • include an abstract (150-200 words) with keywords.

Acknowledgements should be given either in a footnote on the first page or at the end of the manuscript, before the list of references.

Tables and figures should be integrated in the text and the copy editors may alter the layout whenever necessary. The title page must include an abstract of about 150 words and 5 keywords. Full contact information with institutional affiliations and any acknowledgements must also be provided in the online submission but not in the submitted manuscript.
