Author Guidelines

As an author, you are kindly advised to use the paper template available for downloading below. This way you have nothing to change in terms of paper and text format. Simply applying the styles defined in the document will be sufficient.

Paper submitted for publication are to be written in English and submitted in the final camera-ready form. It is mandatory to submit your original work in Microsoft Word format (.doc not .docx) by using our online manuscript submission system. You have to make “New Submission” and upload your paper by using the online interface. All subsequent versions should be uploaded by using the same paper ID and your defined password. We are unable to process files sent by E-mail. We will do the final formatting and all necessary format conversions of your paper.

Articles are usually about 10 type-written pages long. However, in special cases, shorter or longer articles may be accepted with appropriate reasoning. Author's name, affiliation and full address are to be placed underneath the title. Each paper should be preceded by an abstract (150-300 words).

Letters, figures, and symbols should be clearly denoted so that no doubts about their meaning can arise. Symbols which may lead to confusion (e.g. letter I and figure 1, figure 0 and letter O) should be distinguished by marks which are explained in “Remarks for the typesetter”.

All figures should be numbered with consecutive Arabic numbers, have descriptive captions, and be mentioned in the text. Figures submitted must be of a standard high enough for direct reproduction. Line drawings should be prepared in electronic form. Figures should be planned in advance, so as to allow reduction to 12.75 cm in column width.

References should be  in the Chicago Manual Style.

Alternatively, the concise sample .doc format of author guidelines can be found on page Download Documents
