WORLD LITERATURE STUDIES is a double-blind peer-reviewed open access journal published by the Institute of World Literature, Slovak Academy of Sciences. It features scholarly articles and reviews in general and comparative literary studies, translation studies, and related interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary areas.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0editors and editorial board reserve the\u00a0right not to\u00a0accept a\u00a0full-length manuscript if it does not thematically or ethically fit the\u00a0conception of\u00a0the\u00a0issue or the\u00a0journal. There is no article processing charge.<\/p>\n All contributions should be written in\u00a0compliance with the\u00a0WLS Code of\u00a0Ethics.

The\u00a0author may republish the\u00a0article in\u00a0a\u00a0monograph with a\u00a0third-party publisher, provided that full acknowledgments are made in\u00a0the\u00a0monograph to\u00a0the\u00a0original publication, and that the\u00a0author informs WORLD LITERATURE STUDIES.<\/p>\n Authors receive one free hard copy of the journal issue and an\u00a0electronic offprint of\u00a0their article in\u00a0PDF format.<\/p>\n In case the author does not follow the Instructions for Contributors or the\u00a0language level of\u00a0the\u00a0article is of\u00a0low quality (too many grammatical errors, unnatural language, inappropriate and unclear style, etc.), the\u00a0editorial staff of WORLD LITERATURE STUDIES\u00a0reserves the\u00a0right to\u00a0return the\u00a0study for revision. If\u00a0the\u00a0author fails to\u00a0provide the\u00a0article in the proper format and at an adequate stylistic level within a suitable time, the staff of WORLD LITERATURE STUDIES\u00a0shall reject the\u00a0manuscript.<\/p>\n Types of contributions:<\/p>\n Format and style of manuscripts:<\/p>\n References in the text Single author: Two or three authors: Four and more authors: Personal communication: Indirect quotation from another source: REFERENCES – list<\/strong><\/p>\n References must be listed in alphabetical order.
