Introducing

The RES. publication was relaunched in 2012 with the publication of the 5th issue in the form of a monograph. With a new concept, it is conceived as an interdisciplinary scientific and professional monograph with peer-reviewed contributions, equipped with scientific apparatus, a glossary of terminology and translated mostly into English and Italian. The topics are complex conservation and restoration projects, presented in depth in pictures and in writing, with all conservation and restoration procedures, interdisciplinary research such as art historical, conservation, restoration, natural science and technology, etc. and thus with the latest knowledge about the monument or artwork. The publication is also devoted to specific monument conservation issues that are not necessarily linked to completed restoration projects. We are aware of the important mission of the conservation service, which, in addition to the concrete solution of cultural heritage, also means the consistent documentation, research and publication of the research and interventions carried out. We translate practical conservation and restoration work and experience into words, which helps the profession to germinate and develop, and disseminate new knowledge about monuments to the professional and general public, while leaving the written word for posterity, who will one day face similar conservation problems again.

Authors' details: The corresponding author's name, surname, title, profession, institution, address, telephone number and e-mail address should be indicated.

Article title: The title of the article should be as short as possible, attractive, precise and informative, and should not exceed 80 characters.

Keywords: Keywords can contain from 4 to a maximum of 8 words, which are used by the author to define the content of the article and are suitable for indexing and search.

Excerpt: Include a brief summary of the content of your contribution (up to 100 words).

Summary: The abstract should be between 250 and 300 words (less if it is a shorter article), presenting the essential content of the article in a concise way and capturing the reader's attention. It should be written in the past tense. Reference to formulae, equations, references in the abstract is not allowed and abbreviations and acronyms should be avoided. The abstract will be translated into the foreign language immediately after the paper.

Text of the article: The text of the article should be written clearly and concisely. Even if it is your own research, the article should be written in the first person plural or third person. Articles should follow the scientific apparatus (abstract, summary, keywords, footnotes, use of comparative sources, reference list). The following thematic structure is recommended: Introduction, Experimental or practical part, Results with discussion, Conclusion, Acknowledgements, References. The full text of the paper should be written with the assumption that the aim is to attract both a professional and a general audience. Practical procedures and procedures or experimental techniques and apparatus should be described in detail if they deviate significantly from descriptions already published in the literature; for known techniques and apparatus, the source where the necessary explanations can be found should be given.

Article formatting: The text should be written in one of the more widely used word processors (Word or Word Perfect) on A4 paper, 1.5 spaces and 2.5 cm margins, with double-sided alignment of the text on numbered pages. The digital record should be completely straightforward, without complex formatting, word splitting, underlining, and the author should only indicate bold and italic underlining. The text should be in lower case and should be free of unnecessary abbreviations and acronyms (if used, a list explaining the abbreviations should be added at the end). All pictorial material, including tables, chemical formulae and associated descriptions, should appear in printed form at the end of the full text, but the location of the pictorial material/table or chemical formulae should be specified in the text.

Images: There is no strict limit to the number of images, depending on the topic and the issue; for RES. publications, visual material is particularly important. For an 8-page text, 10 to 15 photographs are suggested, even less. The final selection is determined by the Editorial Board.

• Each contributor chooses either colour, black and white or graphic photographs.
• All photographs must be accompanied by an explanation or 'caption', including information on whether the photograph has been edited or graphically enhanced, the author and date of the image (in the absence of this, 'author and date unknown'), the source (e.g. if the image is from a book, article, website, etc.) and the location (e.g. name of archive, library, etc.).
• The author must ensure that the quality of the photographs, and in particular reproductions from books, the internet, etc., is sufficient.
• For images for which the author does not hold the copyright, each author must obtain permission to publish from the copyright owner (e.g. institutions, private parties), and for photographs from the web, it is also necessary to check whether publication is permitted and to make a consistent statement to this effect in the description of the image.
• All images to be published should be added to the text as a separate file from the text of the article, in the form of JPEG (can also be in one of the following formats: TIFF (.tiff; .tif), JPEG (.jpg; .jpeg) or BMP (.bmp), as an Excel (.xls) document).
• Images should be of minimum resolution 300 dpior a size that is 1.5 to 3 times the size of the printed graph (photographs, graphic sketches, microfilm, scanned material, exceptionally good photocopies).
• Files should be named as they are in the text (e.g.: Figure 1.).
• Images should be labelled with a number and caption (explanation, to which you should add the author, source and time of creation, if not you, the location);

EXAMPLE: Figure 1: Cross-section of the colour layer, author and time of the image (each image must have a comment or caption (in which you explain, among other things, whether it is a photograph, a drawing, a graphic sketch, etc.); if there is repetition (author, time of creation and location of the image), you can only provide this information once, at the 1st mention in a separate note.

Spreadsheets, tables: Just as for figures, tables and tables should be added to the text of the article as a separate file (e.g. table name: tabela1.xls), unless the table is created with a text editor. Tables and tables, including charts, diagrams and graphs, should be constructed in such a way that they can be understood without reading the text of the article. Headings in tables/tables should be brief. When editing tables in a text editor, tabs should be used to separate columns, not spaces.

Mathematical and chemical equations: Each formula should have a sequential number written in round brackets on the right-hand side. In the text, e.g. Equation 1 should be referred to rather than '... as follows:, ... as shown below:', because for technical reasons it is not possible to place the formula in the exact places in the article. Any special characters (Greek letters, etc.) should be explained separately below the equation or in the text. The equations should be prepared in Word using Arial font.

Units and equations: The use of the units of measurement laid down in the Ordinance on Units of Measurement (Official Gazette of the RS No 26/01), i.e. the units of the International System of Units (SI), is mandatory. The use and the script must comply with SIST ISO 2955, SIST ISO 31 series and SIST ISO 1000 according to this Ordinance.

Notes: Authors write substantive comments, quotations, sources in FOOTNOTES footnote. Literal quotations should be enclosed in quotation marks and italicized both in the text and in footnotes.

Citing reports, research

Unpublished reports, research, studies should also be included, cited as usual, except that the title should not be italicized because it is not a publication; it is essential to add the reference at the end.

EXAMPLE:

Tomaž Kvas, Report on the restoration of the frescoes on the facade of the Franciscan Church in Ljubljana, 11 November 1992, archive of ZVKDS OE Ljubljana.

Quoting an oral source

As heritage conservation is an interdisciplinary teamwork, we also cite verbal warnings as an oral source, as well as experiences, observations, hypotheses, insights from workshops, meetings, lectures, which we support with comparative and more reliable sources.

EXAMPLE: On the advice/warning of restorer Franco Kokalj..., country, date.

Primary, secondary citation

We always strive for primary source information. If we find a reference to another source in a monograph that we want to use, we cite the original source. We can refer to the monograph in question as the source where we traced the finding.

The original source - i.e. the one that first pointed it out - takes precedence, but if a secondary source has added something significant, we cite that one too. In any case, we also cite the author who has worked extensively on the issue. Either we list the authors who have dealt with it alphabetically or, by citing a specific, e.g. the most recent, source, we point to the page where the older bibliography is listed.

EXAMPLE: This source was pointed out by LAVRIČ 2003, p. 420, citing sources and literature.

We can cite the most recent author who has pointed to this key source, e.g. when it comes to well-known findings. Some other possibilities. If we choose to cite all the sources that have dealt with the issue, we list them in chronological order.

EXAMPLE: GRUDEN 1908, p. x, STESKA 1934, p. x, LAVRIČ 2008, p. x.

Citing repeated sources - short form of citation

When a source is repeated a second or more time, it should be written in abbreviated form: the NAME in capital letters with the year, a comma, the pages cited. The source and the abbreviation should be written out in full following the citation instructions in the reference list. Also applies to online sources, unpublished sources (reports, studies, etc.).

EXAMPLES:

HUDOKLIN 1955, p. 136.

TILLINGHAST SHERMAN 2007, s.p. (online source).

Where the surname and year are the same for different sources, the sources are separated by alphabetical marking:

EXAMPLE: KOLLER 1996a, p. x; KOLLER 1996b, p. x.

If there are no known or multiple authors, write the beginning of the title or an identifier, which must be strictly adhered to in all subsequent references, followed by a comma, exceptionally, the year of publication, a comma, the pages cited.

EXAMPLES:

Report, 2007, p. x.

Slovenian art and its European context , 2007, p. x.

Bogoljub, 1907, p. 144.

A LIST OF SOURCES AND REFERENCES: All references and sources referred to in the text and footnotes should be included in the list at the end of the article. It should be listed in alphabetical order. Start with the abbreviation, then write out the source in full: capitalise the NAME, pages only if it is a periodical, collection, journal, with a full stop at the end.

EXAMPLES:

CEVC 1960: Emilijan CEVC, Slovenian art, Ljubljana 1960.

KOLLER 1996 a: Manfred KOLLER, Zur Vorgeschichte von Salzbelastungen am Denkmal: Salzschaden an Wandmalereien, Arbeitshefte des Bayerischen Landesamtes fur Denkmalpflege, 78, 1996, pp. 11-14.

LIST OF CONSERVATION AND RESTORATION MATERIALS

As most of the texts are about a conservation and restoration project, we list the conservation and restoration materials, tools and instruments used in a separate list. We list the Slovenian book name, the original name, the manufacturer and the source where we can find out more about it - e.g. a web link

EXAMPLE: Acetone (Acetone, ≥ 99.5 %) SIGMA - ALDRICH® Available on the World Wide Web: http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/product/sial/32201?lang=en&region=SI

AN ANNOTATED LIST OF TERMINOLOGICAL TERMS

For the purpose of compiling the glossary of each issue of RES, each author prepares a list of terminology in his/her field of expertise. Please give a short and clear explanation of the terminology (taking into account the established terminology in the current professional-scientific literature and according to the guidelines of international regulations, charters, conventions; e.g. for conservation-restoration according to ICOM-CC, ECCO, AIC, ICOMCC, etc.) and in accordance with the rules of the SSKJ and the Slovene orthography (Slovene orthography).
