Submissions Guidelines
How to submit materials

Languages
ULBANDUS's language
of publication is English, and all materials should be submitted in English.
In extraordinary circumstances, articles in Russian will be considered
(but will be translated for publication).
Quotations should be translated into English, and (where necessary)
transliterated using the Library of Congress system. For transliteration
from Cyrillic, please use the Library
of Congress system, minus the diacritical marks. Proper names with
conventional English spellings that differ from the LC system should be
spelled conventionally in the body of the text, but transliterated according
to the LC system in the bibliography.
Stylistic Guidelines
Footnotes should be used only for authorial remarks or information
that does not fit in the body of the text; they should not be used
for bibliographical references. Instead, please provide a comprehensive
list of works cited (MLA style), and identify the sources of quotations
using parenthetical references in the body of the text, e.g.: (Shklovskii
25) or (Bakhtin, Rabelais 25). If your essay focuses on a number
of works by the same author, identify them by title: (Idiot 24)
or (Brothers Karamazov 397). In both the Works Cited list and the
in-text notes, author's names should be transliterated according to the
LC system, even if you generally
use a different, "conventional" spelling when you refer to them
in the body of the text.
In general, please follow MLA stylistic guidelines throughout
your manuscript, notes, and bibliography.
