Contributions and their supplements are accepted as electronic files via e-mail. Our preferred formats include *.doc, *.docx, *.rtf, *.xls for texts and *.gif, *.jpg, *.tif for illustrations. The texts should be arranged in the standard 12-point Times New Roman font, using 1.5 line spacing.

The article should be accompanied by an abstract (up to 800 characters); keywords; summary (up to 3000 characters in the Lithuanian, English, German or French language); and literature and reference list. The abstract and keywords will be published in two languages –Lithuanian and the language of the summary. Authors offering contributions to the journal should also include their personal data: name, surname, degrees held, e-mail address for correspondence, and represented institution. The recommended length of the article (with supplements) should not exceed 1-1.8 author’s sheets (40 000 –72 000 characters with spaces). Publication of longer articles is subject to pre-approval of the editorial board.

Having received favourable peer reviews of an article, the editorial board, before taking the final decision with regard to the publication, organizes the signing of the licence agreement between the author of the article and the Lithuanian Institute of History. For more information see section “Etiniai principai” (Ethical Principles) (subsection “Straipsnių publikavimas ir autorystė” (Publication of Articles and Authorship)) on the webpage of the Yearbook of Lithuanian History.

Contributions should be organized in this sequence: preface, transcription of the original, full source description, textological and subject comments.

Illustrations. By submitting illustrations to their texts the authors certify to the editorial board that they are authorized to publish them in the journal and in its electronic version for an unlimited period of time. The author, who submitted the illustrations, shall be fully liable for any unauthorized use of illustrations or any other copyright infringements.

Citation, reference presentation, and reference list arrangement order followed in the Yearbook:

1. Quotation marks are used for quotations in the same language as the rest of the text and italics for those in a different language.

2. Longer quotations exceeding three lines are presented as a separate paragraph without quotation marks in 11-point fonts with 1.15 line spacing.

3. Quotation omissions are indicated by square brackets [...]. Such brackets are also used to insert the author’s remarks into the cited text; these should also feature the author’s initials in italics following a dash, for example: [illegible word. – V. S.]. Gaps, missing words or phrases in the text are marked by angle brackets <...>.

4. Names of scholars when mentioned for the first time are not shortened. In case of further mentions, the first letter of the given name (the initial) precedes the surname. Names and surnames of authors are presented in their authentic form. Personal names written in Cyrillic and other non-Latin characters should be transcribed taking into consideration their pronunciation and traditions of the Lithuanian language or transliterated letter for letter. If necessary, names of scholars may be adapted (written with Lithuanian endings) and declined in line with the Lithuanian grammar rules. When indicating the used publications in the footnotes, names of scholars are written in their authentic form, the initial preceding the surname. Ancient personal names (before the 20th c.) may be adapted in the text in accordance with present-day spelling rules, presenting their authentic form in the literature and reference list.

5. It is recommended to write the non-Lithuanian personal names of historical figures referred to in the text in their authentic (source) form, unless a different form of that personal name is traditionally used in Lithuanian scientific texts. Such names when mentioned for the first time are not shortened (if both given name and surname are known). In case of further mentions, only the surname is written, unless several persons with identical surname are mentioned, in which case the initial should precede the surname. Personal names written in Cyrillic and other non-Latin characters should be transcribed taking into consideration their pronunciation and traditions of the Lithuanian language or transliterated letter for letter. Non-Lithuanian names of scholars may be adapted (written with Lithuanian endings) and declined in line with the Lithuanian grammar rules. If personal names of historical figures are adapted, at the first mention it is recommended to present their authentic form in parentheses (in italics). Names of gods, saints, emperors, and kings are adapted in line with the rules of the Lithuanian language. Names of dukes, cardinals, and bishops may be adapted. When writing personal names of all countries in line with the abovementioned general principles, their traditional forms should be retained, e.g. Karolis Didysis, Petras Pirmasis (Petras I), Karolis II.

6. Non-Lithuanian common place names are adapted as per the list presented on the webpage of the State Commission of the Lithuanian Language VLKK.lt “Pasaulio vietovardžiai” (Place names of the World). Place names not featured in the said list are adapted in line with the Lithuanian grammar, adding appropriate endings. Place names written in non-Latin characters should be transcribed taking into consideration their pronunciation and traditions of the Lithuanian language or transliterated letter for letter. Russian place names are transcribed pursuant to the instruction approved by the State Commission of the Lithuanian Language (Pavardžių, vardų ir vietovardžių transkripcijos iš rusų kalbos į lietuvių kalbą ir iš lietuvių kalbos į rusų kalbą instrukcija. Vilnius: Mokslas, 1990). When writing place names of all countries in line with the abovementioned general principles, their traditional forms should be retained, e.g. Anglija, Lenkija, Prancūzija, Daugpilis, Dauguva, Krokuva, Paryžius, Varšuva, Viena, Genuja, Mantuja. In case of use of a rare place name, which has no usage tradition in the Lithuanian language or there are doubts with regard to its adaptation, it is recommended to insert the authentic form of the place name in parentheses (in italics).

7. Texts in the footnotes (references, comments) are presented at the bottom of the page in 10-point font with 1 line spacing.

8. Reference to a publication should include: first letter(s) of the author’s given name(s) and the surname followed by a comma; the title of the book (with the subtitle if available) in italics also followed by a comma; the place and year of publication as well as the relevant page (all items separated by commas):
