MAIN EDITORIAL BOARD

The editor-in-chief, the managing editor (the Director of the University Library of Prešov University), and the President of SKASE form the main editorial board responsible for the organizational and technical aspects of the journal and for making decisions concerning the overall conception of the journal.

 

 

SUBMISSION OF ARTICLES

Articles in English from 8,000 to 10,000 words maximum shall be submitted to the editor-in-chief in an electronic form as an e-mail attachment. They should be written in the WORD 97 editor and in accordance with the Style Sheet.

 

 

SELECTION OF ARTICLES FOR PUBLICATION

Upon submission of an article to the journal, the editor-in-chief will forward an electronic version of the article to a member of his editorial board whose task is to review the article in an unbiased way. The reviewing process will be anonymous, i.e. the reviewer will not know the author of the article, nor will the author know the reviewer. The reviewer is expected to review an article within a reasonable amount of time, allowing for unforeseen delays.

Based on the review, the editor-in-chief will decide whether the article meets the high-quality standards of the journal, or is unacceptable. In either case, the author shall be advised of the decision. In the former case, the editor-in-chief shall mail the review to the author in an electronic way, and the author shall modify the article in accordance with the reviewer’s comments and recommendations. Final decisions concerning acceptance/non-acceptance of an article will be the exclusive decision of the editor-in-chief. In the case of excessive number of articles, the final selection of articles for the next issue shall be made by the main editorial board.

A number of remarks are in order. First of all, as De Lauretis  (1987: 25) points out:


It is, rather, that we have produced it as not recognizable, precisely, as a representation. For that ‘elsewhere’ is not some mythic distant past or some utopian future history: it is the elsewhere of discourse here and now, the blind spots, or the space-off, of its representations.
