Editorial Principles
- The text submitted for publication may not be previously published or accepted for publication by another publisher.
- Papers may not exceed 10.000 words, including appended material such as pictures, charts, and maps, etc.
- The language of ULUM is English.
- The editorial board peruses the submitted paper with regard to both form and content before sending it on to referees. They may also consider the views of the advisory board. After the deliberation of the editorial board, the submitted paper is sent to two referees. If the paper is rejected by one of them, it is sent to the third referee. In order for any paper to be published, at least two of the referees must approve it. The revision and improvement demanded by the referees must be implemented in order for a paper to be published. Authors are informed within the process about the decision regarding the publication of their papers. The authors have to take notice of the referees' report. The authors assume the responsibility of the paper with regard to the style, content, scholarly value and legal aspects. The editorial board reserves the right to accept or reject the text. The texts submitted to the journal are not returned, even if they are not accepted for publication. The published texts of the authors could be removed from publication in accordance with the decision of the board. They could not be withdrawn from the journal without the decision of the board.
- The copyright fee is not paid for the texts.
- We request that authors transfer (assign) the copyright in their articles to ULUM before publication. The authors should prepare a copyright transfer form signed by all authors.
