Prof. Georgiy Bogin, Editor-in-chief Tver InterContact Group, Hermeneutics in Russia, Central Post Office, PO Box 0565, 170000 Tver, Russia An E-mail version of the manuscript is preferred. The E-mail address is: gbogin@tversu.ru At the same time typed manuscripts are also welcome (one copy is enough). None of the manuscripts will be returned. The Tver InterContact Group will do everything possible to ensure prompt publication. Please take the time to check all references, figures, tables and texts for errors before submission. We publish articles written either in Russian or in English. If the manuscript is in Russian, an English summary must be presented as well. For articles written in English, the Russian summary is not obligatory, but if sent it will be published, and we will do it with delight.  Typewritten manuscripts must be double-spaced on one side of white bond in English or in Russian. Russian, German, French and other textual insertions in Russian or Latin characters are allowed in any quantity if necessary. Chinese characters are a problem but we shall try. The same with Greek, Hebrew and Arabic, and even with Church Slavonic. So it is better to transliterate submissions in these languages with Latin characters. Smaller contributions and announcements about scientific events concerning hermeneutics may be sent electronically to the above Internet address. We are interested in announcements concerning conferences and symposiums both completely devoted to hermeneutics and those devoted to anything else, but with a hermeneutic section or something thematically close to it, especially rhetoric, for rhetorical practices are factually programming the techniques of understanding and reflectivity at large in the recipient. Pedagogical conferences devoted, or at least partly devoted, to the problem of developing students' (schoolchildren included) intelligence also interest us. The same thematic space is that of the books reviewed.  Preferable are 6-14 word titles. Sometimes more, but not regularly.  Include full names of authors, academic and other professional affiliations if any and the complete mailing and, if possible, electronic address of the author for our future correspondence. Your photograph is also desirable. If you send one, we will publish it with your paper's title. Don't be shy, send us everything, even if you are quite famous in your country, because of some historical reasons your name and image may prove not so well-known in Russia, as of yet. For sure it is only temporary, but still.  Abstract is necessary too: for papers in English it must be in English, some 150 words. If the paper is in Russian, the abstract must be in English and as long as you like. Russian summaries for papers in English are welcome, but not obligatory. So write them if you can. If your Russian is poor we shall make spelling and grammar corrections. As for the main bulk of what you write we are going to make mainly corrections of this kind, never altering your ideas and principles of scientific research, but some condensing, of repetitions and commonly known facts, is possible in the editing process.  References should be listed alphabetically at the end of your paper after the subtitle LITERATURE. In the text, references should be cited by the author's last name, year of publication, and page if necessary, all this in parentheses. Like this: (Crocodileson, 1789, p. 666).  Figures must be submitted in camera-ready format. Xerox copies are quite acceptable. Figures must be submitted either as black-and-white glossy photographs or PostScript files on a floppy disk. Label each figure with article title, author's name and figure number, by attaching a separate sheet of white paper to the back of each figure.  All tables are to be discussed or mentioned in the text and numbered in order of mention. Each table should have a brief descriptive title but no long explanation. Tables that are understandable even without reference to the text are preferable. Try your best.  Book reviews on hermeneutics and pedagogics of reflectivity and interpretations are welcome. If you would like to submit a book review, please send your qualifications to the address already mentioned. If the reviewer has no qualifications but is simply a clever individual, the review will still be welcome. But do not write in your review about the characteristics of the ideas that are factually not mentioned or thought about by the reviewed author. Generally it is better to criticize what is in the book, not what is not.  A reprint of the article is sent to the author only upon the author's request.  Translations of the papers published in Russian may be ordered for an additional payment at our standard $0.015/word fee. |
