期刊简介(About the journal)

编辑部信息(Editorial Board)
About the journal One of the first Internet projects in the Estonian folkloristics were two hyperjournals, one in English and the other (Mäetagused) in Estonian. In 1996, our journals were among the very first of publications in the humanities to publish free full texts online.
Articles are contributed to our journal by authors from all over the world. The journal is published 3-4 times a year since June 1996. and has an international board of editors.
Folklore: Electronic Journal of Folklore publishes original academic studies in folklore studies, comparative mythological research, cultural anthropology and related fields.
A separate section introduces new publications in the field, reviews of released audio-material, held conferences and conducted fieldwork, research centres of different countries, defended degree theses, etc.
The journal is issued in print and in full free online version http://www.folklore.ee/folklore. The electronic journal includes video and audio samples. Sound samples have been used since the very first issue (originally in .au format, since 1997 .mpg2 and .mpg3), and in the fourth issue (1997) video samples (in .mpg format) were first used
The eighth issue of Folklore (1998) was the first to be published parallelly as .pdf-files, considering the interests of those who wish to read, print and make references to the articles as they are published in print. In .pdf format both illustrations and text with special characters retain their original appearance. Many formats were taken into use as soon as they became available in the Internet.
Links to the journal appear of the websites of more than 60 research centres, including those of the most prestigious university libraries and directories on the subject.
These types of journals have a fairly wide geographical spread and the articles often prompt feedback. Articles published in the journal Folklore: Electronic Journal of Folklore have called forth requests for permission to translate and re-publish.
Journal is supported by project EKKM09-170
Instructions to Authors
- Manuscript Submission
Folklore. Electronic Journal of Folklore request the submission of manuscripts in electronic format. Articles can be sent as attachments to e-mails, but if the text contains unconventional special characters a printed copy of the manuscript is required. Please retain a backup copy of your files. After revision, make absolutely sure that you send the latest version of your manuscript (including tables and figures) in paper and electronic format. We prefer manuscripts submitted in word processing packages such as Open Office Writer, MS Word, Rich Text Format or plain Text. For the purpose of reviewing, articles for publication should initially be submitted to:
- Folklore
Vanemuise 42 51003 Tartu Estonia e-mail: folklore@folklore.ee Tel.: +372 7377 740 Fax: +372 7377 706
- Reviewing Procedure
Folklore. Electronic Journal of Folklore follows a double-blind reviewing procedure. Each submitted manuscript will be reviewed by two anonymous reviewers. Authors are therefore requested to place their name and affiliation on a separate page. Self-identifying citations and references in the article text should either be avoided or left blank when manuscripts are first submitted. Authors will be expected to reinsert self-identifying citations and references when manuscripts are prepared for final submission.
- Illustrations
a) Hard-copy figures
Original or good quality printouts of all figures should be submitted with the manuscript. Computer generated printouts should be flawless and printed on quality paper. Non-computer generated line figures should be drawn with Indian ink on white matte paper or tracing paper. Photographs should be in black-and-white or coloured on glossy paper. On the reverse side of each figure, the name of the (original) author and the figure number should be added; the top of the figure should be clearly indicated.
b) Electronic figures
You are expected to submit the electronic versions of your figures. We prefer figures in TIFF, EPS, PS or PDF format. Be aware that we may not be able to use other file formats and that the hard copy may be scanned instead. For vector graphics, the preferred format is EPS. For bitmapped graphics, the preferred format is TIFF. The following resolutions are optimal: line figures - 600 - 1200 dpi; photographs - 300 dpi; screen dumps - leave as they are. Colour figures may be submitted in the RGB colour system. Font-related problems can be avoided by using standard fonts such as Times Roman, Courier and Helvetica. Figures should be saved in separate files. Figure legends should be included in the text file.
c) Language
We appreciate any efforts that you make to ensure that the language is corrected before submission. This will greatly improve the legibility of your paper if English is not your first language.
- Manuscripts Presentation
The journal憇 language is English. British English or American English spelling and terminology may be used, but either one should be followed consistently throughout the article. Manuscripts should be printed or typewritten on A4 or US Letter bond paper, one side only, leaving adequate margins on all sides to allow reviewers� remarks. Please double-space all material, including notes and references. Quotations of more than 40 words should be set off clearly, either by indenting the left-hand margin or by using a smaller typeface. Use double quotation marks for direct quotations and single quotation marks for quotations within quotations and for words or phrases used in a special sense. Number the pages consecutively with the first page containing:
- running head (shortened title)
- article type
- title
- author(s)
- affiliation(s)
- full address for correspondence, including telephone and fax number and e-mail address
a) Article Types
The journal welcomes manuscripts in the following areas of interest: Scientific Contributions (10 to 30 pages): Original articles with a longer and argued exposition of problems, topics or problem areas. These should include an abstract and key words. Practical Viewpoints/Discussion Point (5 to 15 pages): Short communications, e.g. case discussions, current issues, research project overviews (5 to 15 pages): Special surveys and articles on programs and courses in folkloristics, cultural studies, popular religion, ethics and philosophy, education, or exposition of research programmes and results from various centers, departments and institutions. Comments. The articles will be commented by experts in the field. Review Articles (1 to 5 pages): Analyses and critical reviews of major recent publications in the area of main themes. News in Brief (1 to 2 pages): Summary reviews of recently published books and reports, main conferences, degrees in the field, etc. The section will focus particularly on reports on literature in non-English languages, aiming to enhance public awareness of studies, which would otherwise remain inaccessible. Letters to the Editor (1 to 4 pages): Readers� responses to publications. In principle, authors will be encouraged to react upon responses of readers of their publications.
b) Abstract and Key Words
Please provide a short abstract of 100 to 250 words. The abstract should not contain any undefined abbreviations or unspecified references. Please provide 5 to 10 key words or short phrases in alphabetical order. Since the abstract and the key words will be used to select appropriate reviewers, it is essential to make them as informative as possible.
c) Abbreviations

d) Section Headings
First-, second-, third-, and fourth-order headings should be clearly distinguishable.
e) Appendices
Supplementary material should be collected in an Appendix which comes before the Notes and Reference sections.

In the event that the author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the citation and the reference should contain a lower case letter like a and b after the date to distinguish the works.
Examples:
- (Loorits 1949: 122)
