Uniform manuscript rules for the journals of the Ludovika University of Public Service

For us, the most important thing is the reader - the language and argumentation of the texts should be suitable for addressing and engaging the professional and general public, but neither the desire for clarity nor the individual style of drafting should detract from the quality of the work to be published.

The journal publishes only new ideas that are worthy of discussion, sufficiently elaborated and well-written, by national and international standards. Only manuscripts based on original research and not previously published elsewhere, not including subsequent revisions of manuscripts based on previously published research, or not accepted for publication elsewhere, may be submitted. The author is responsible for the originality of the work submitted for publication, the factual and legal accuracy of the work, and the accuracy of the references.

The manuscript submitted for publication must be prepared in accordance with the editorial rules set out herein.

The Editorial Office will send out for proofreading only manuscripts prepared in accordance with the above.

The rules of Hungarian spelling must be observed.
