GUIDELINES FOR PREPARING ARTICLES
DEAR CONTRIBUTORS,
General Information

For the Editorial Board, two manuscript copies of good quality and an electronic version prepared by MS Word editor using Times New Roman type should be submitted following the below imposed requirements. The text of the article should be printed by Single interval on the pages of 210x297 mm format with the print area of 170x245 mm each. Pagination is made using an ordinary pencil below on the right. The authors should sign the second copy of the article.
The Structure of the Article

Appendices are not added and used in the text as pictures, figures and tables.
In case the main text is not in English, the title of the article, the name(s) and surname(s) of the author (co-authors), the name and address of the institution represented, e-mail address and/or workplace phone number, abstract and keywords are reworded in the English language.

The printed copy and the electronic version of the corrected article are to be presented to the Editorial board not later than in a fortnight after obtaining the review. Simultaneously, the author returns the manuscript of the reviewed article.

2. The name(s) and surname(s) of the author (co-authors) should be printed and centred in 11 pt Bold type small letters.

3. Abstract and keywords are printed using the language of the main text by Single interval in 9 pt type in one column and the margins of 30 mm and an interval of three lines below the address of the institution are left. The words Abstract and Keywords are printed in Bold. The volume of the abstract must exceed 600 characters. An interval of one line between the abstract and keywords should be left. The keywords should include from 6 to 10 items.
4. Introduction, the main text and conclusions are to be printed by Single interval in 10 pt type in one column at the distance of one line from the keywords.
5. Mathematical dependencies, their notations in the text and other symbols should be written using Equation Editor 3 Italic in 10 pt type, indexes - in 7 pt and sub indexes - in 6 pt type. Matrices are written in square brackets and vectors in Bold-Regular 10 pt type. All numerals, including index numbers, are presented in Regular type. Formulas are centred, aligned right and numbered using Arabic numerals in round brackets. An interval of one line between a formula and text should be left.
6. Figures and tables should be put and centred in the place they are mentioned. Larger tables and figures may be put at the top or bottom of a sheet across the whole breadth. Figures are drawn by computer and additionally presented by one of the fails including *.jpg, *.tif, *.wmf or *.pcx. Photos (coloured and black-and-white type) should be of good quality, clear and suitable for reproduction. The numbers of figures and tables (for instance, Fig 1, Table 3) and inscriptions below are printed by Regular type in 9 pt. Figures and tables are separated from the text by one-line interval.
7. The titles of introduction, chapters and sub-chapters are printed by Bold-Regular type in 10 pt small letters and aligned left. The introduction and the titles of chapters and conclusions are numbered using one Arabic numeral and sub-chapters - two numerals. The titles of chapters and sub-chapters should be separated from the text by one-line interval.
Reference List and Bibliography
On the basis of the Harvard System of Referencing, quoting and indicating a source of reference include author’s surname followed by the year of publication and cited page numbers in brackets (parentheses) . No reference to the author’s surname can be made in case it is clear from the context which work of the cited author is chosen. For instance, Jonas Rimkus (1997b: 86–87) supported the idea of a famous historian of Lithuanian philosophy (Gerulis 1993: 131). In case a source contains more than two authors, the surname of the first author only is indicated, for instance, (Vitkus et al. 2005: 233). In case there are a few authors having the same surname in the reference list, the first name letter of a person is required. The alphabetically arranged list of references follows conclusions. The word References is printed in 10 pt Bold-Regular type and aligned left and the list of references – in 9 pt. These are the examples of making references:
