Please add DOI numbers to all articles where appropriate (prescribed format = link, see above).
Tables and numbers
Provide each table on a separate page. Indicate position of the table by placing in the text “insert Table 1 about here”. Number tables in order of their appearance in the text: Table 1, Table 2, etc. Each table should be titled (e.g. Table 1 Self-explanatory title). Refer to tables using their numbers (e.g. see Table 1, Table A1 in the Annex). Try to break one large table into several smaller tables, whenever possible. Specify data sources below all tables.
Separate thousands with a space (e.g. 1 528 000) and decimal points with a dot (e.g. 1.0).
Figures and pictures
Figure is any graphical object other than table. Attach each figure as a separate file. Indicate position of the figure by placing in the text “insert Figure 1 about here”. Number figures in order of their appearance in the text: Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. Each figure should be titled (e.g. Figure 1 Self-explanatory title). Refer to figures by using their numbers (e.g. see Figure 1, Figure A1 in the Annex).
Figures should be prepared for black and white print accompanied by the *.xls, *.xlsx table with their data sources (MS Excel). Specify sources below all figures.
Please provide cartograms in the vector format. Other graphic objects should also be prepared for black and white print and provided in *.tif, *.jpg, *.eps formats. Do not supply low-resolution files optimized for the screen use.
Formulas
Formulas should be numbered and prepared in the same text format (Times 12) as the main text.
Country names
The short version "Czechia" is recommended to use wherever it is not necessary to use the formal name "Czech Republic". We ask to use primary the short name "Czechia", only in cases of a stylistically justified necessity (e.g. in several sentences in a row) is it possible to use the formal name "Czech Republic".
