4. Guidlines for Preparing a Summary
Each article must have a summary in English and an identical Georgian translation. When formatting the summary of the article (font size, spacing between lines, etc.), follow the same rules for formatting the main text. The volume of the summary should be about 250-500 words. The summary comes after the list of references. In the title, the  principal words are capitalized.

5. Book Review Guidelines
When submitting a Book Review be sure to follow the rules established for articles (instead of notes in the text, short references should be inserted). Information about the book under review should be presented in the following form: the first name initials of the author and the last name, the title of the book (in italics), number of volumes and series (if any), name of publisher, place of publication, a year or other additional information, for example, ISBN, etc., (according to the title page). References, which must be verified in the review, are placed directly in the text in regular brackets (author’s initial instead of first name, last name, the title of work [in italics],  series and volume number [if available], place of publication, year of publication and pages). The exact quotation from the book under review is written in regular font and enclosed in quotation marks. At the end of the quotation, the corresponding page is indicated in brackets, for example, “(p. 150)”. 

6. Recommended Abbreviations for the Journals
