End notes: ordering footpath and advice to contributors

should be accepted or rejected will be made at that time. Once the decision has been made, all contributors will be informed. Do send student essays which you think are exceptionally good, but please do not send more than two (or, at most, three) for consideration by the Board. We will publish the best three in the next number, and we do not want to disappoint students whose essays have no hope of being accepted.

Remember that all contributions should have the name of the author, their university, and, for student essays, their year of study. If the students are not philologists, their course of study should also be mentioned.

Should articles be in English or Russian? You can submit articles in either English or Russian, but please give a very brief abstract at the beginning in the other language. The editors are reluctant to accept articles which have been written solely on the basis of a translation. We may decide to accept an outstanding article by someone who does not read in English, but we have to face the serious problem that many translations are very inadequate. We expect quotations in our articles and all quotations must be given in English. (You can give a Russian variant as well, if this seems important - it will enable us to decide whether the translation is good.)

Style notes for contributors

If you wish to submit an article, a review, a letter, or an essay by your student, we ask you to note the following details of editorial style which are standard in English journals.

• (1)    Titles of books should be in italics, not in 'inverted commas'.

• (2)    Titles of short stories and poems should be in single inverted commas: 'An Arundel Tomb'. (Not double inverted commas "A Mistake".)

• (3)    Authors should be referred to by the name they have chosen: e.g. Jonathan Coe, W.H.Auden. Not J.Coe or Wystan Hugh Auden. Once you have referred to the author using the correct name or initials, you can, on second and subsequent occasions, refer to him or her by surname only (Coe, Auden). You should, however, always use

Bradbury M. The Modern English Novel Penguin Books, 1994

Hewitt K. (editor) A New Book of Contemporary British Stories Perspective Publications, 2001

If you mention or quote from Russian writers or academics and their works, use for your help the last issues of Perm State University Herald ‘Russian and Foreign Philology’ (2009 - 2011). They are easy to look at: There you may see some most recent requirements for bibliographical lists and footnotes in Russian.

When Karen Hewitt receives your order for FOOTPATH we will arrange to post the copies as soon as possible. Viktoria will send you, separately, the official documents: the чет, чет-фактура, накладная unless you tell her that you do not need these papers. So if you don't want documents, let Karen know!
