Citations

Complete sentences have to be placed within "double quotation marks"
Partial quotations have to be placed within 'single quotation marks'.
Quotations running over more than one line: start each line with an indent on the left so that the quotation becomes a separate text block

Attention: for every inclusion of text fragments, images, and data under copyrights, the author has to request and receive permission of the original author or rightful claimant. The author and not the publisher is responsible in this respect.

Paragraphs

Indicate new paragraphs with a tab, not with an extra blank line

Notes and References

Use the MS Word-note function
We use footnotes at the end of each page, but bibliographical information comes in the reference list at the end. Footnotes should not be used for referencing purposes, but only to offer further textual information to enrich the argument.
Note numbers should appear as superscript numbers in the text and be numbered sequentially.
Notes should always be double-spaced and the same point size (12pt) as the main text.
Reference and Bibliographical lists must always be arranged in alphabetical order by author.

Our preferred style for referencing is as follows: Author, Initials. (year of publication). Title. place of publication: the name of the publisher. Please ensure that it is consistent throughout the notes, references and bibliography.

When quoting a work by two or more authors, use et al. in the text, but give all the authors' names in the references/bibliography.
