TEXT
Layout
- Use Times New Roman 12 pt throughout, 1.5 space.
- In case of illustrations and graphics other than the usual Word graphics, please consult the managing editor. Illustrations are as a rule welcome, but well-reproducible, copyright-free or -paid datafile versions must be supplied by the author.
- Emphasis is by italics only; underlining, boldface, or block letters are not permitted, excepting boldface in headlines.
Punctuation
- Use double quotation marks; single quotation marks are used for quotations within quotations and 'so-called' words.
- Use curly quotation marks and apostrophes.
- Periods and commas are put before the closing quotation mark, all other punctuation after.
- Square brackets are used for interpolations in quotations.
- Use n-dashes (n - n) for appositions, neither m-dashes (m-m) nor double hyphens (x-- x).
- Use hyphens for ranges like page numbers and years, e.g. 1978-2006, 112-236.
Quotations
- Quotations of less than fifty words should be run into the text; otherwise remove quotation marks and set as a block quotation.

- Put [sic] after spelling mistakes you took over from the source.
- The author is responsible for obtaining permission in writing to quote copyrighted material and must pay all fees for the use of such material before submitting the manuscript for consideration.
Notes

Languages
- If the language of your essay is English, decide between British or American English and keep this consistent.
- If the language is German, use the now-reformed Neue or the Traditionelle Rechtschreibung and keep this consistent. You can use German quotation-mark rules etc., but you should keep to the English-style note and reference system as indicated.
- If you use any other language, please choose a consistent model and consult with the managing editor.
- Quotations in other than the essay's language should be set in italics. With the exception of short, well-known terms, names, titles, and references, they should be translated in square brackets
REFERENCES
- Indent the second and subsequent lines of every entry ("hanging").
- Sort them alphabetically by authors' last names and then chronologically from most recent to earliest. If an author has published more than one work in one year, add a, b and so forth to the year.
