Authors’ guideline
We usually accept papers that are minimum 6,500 and maximum 10,000 words long.
Please send us a short abstract (ca. 100-200 words) and 3-5 keywords too when you submit your manuscript.
Papers should be given single spacing, Times New Roman 12.
We only accept papers that contain footnotes – endnotes are not accepted – and a bibliography.
Detailed citation guide:
In the footnotes as well as in the bibliography we use small caps (Kapitälchen) to highlight the family name of authors. In MS Word you can convert text to small caps by pressing ctrl + shift + k simultaneously.
Using ALL CAPS instead of Small Caps is not acceptable!
