Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The paper has not been published before and has not been submitted to another publication (if this is not the case, an explanation in “comments for the editorial board” must be attached).
  • The data must be presented in the either Microsoft Word format or RTF.
  • The text must be presented in single-space format, using type size 10 and italics where necessary, not in bold and not underlined (with the exception of URL addresses); all illustrations, diagrams and tables must be inserted at the relevant points in the text, not placed at the end of the text.
  • Wherever possible, the URLs of references have been attached.
  • The text should follow the stylistic and bibliographical guidelines laid out in the Submission Guidelines (Formathinweise/Template), which can be found below “About Us”.

Author Guidelines

Submitted texts will be published on our homepage soon after they have been accepted by the editors. All the texts which have been published separately on our homepage during the year will appear separately in print at the beginning of the following year in an annual volume. The submitted texts should normally not exceed 75,000 characters, including spaces (that corresponds to about 25 printed pages).

Your text should be based on the current correct spelling and punctuation of the language in which you are writing the text (in the case of German: the recommendations of the Duden-Verlag; in the case of the Sorbian languages: the current guidelines of the Upper or Lower language commissions). Where there are variable spellings, the recommended variant should be chosen. It is recommended that gender-sensitive language should be used in the writing of the text. When writing in German, please use gender-neutral alternative forms (e. g. Studierende) and double-names (Studentinnen und Studenten), or use the formal abbreviation with a colon (Student:innen).

Guidelines concerning the formal structure of your text should be taken from the following link: Formathinweise/Template.

Please use this document both as guidance as well as a model for writing your paper.
