Instructions to Authors Articles (approx. 10 - 30 pp. à 2 ’ 500 signs [25.000 - 75.000] line spacing 1.5, Times New Roman, 12 pts) must be submitted to the editor both on paper and in electronic form (wordor rtf-file). Figures (graphics, tables, photos) must be attached separately (300 dpi minimum, black and white). The title is followed by name(s) of author(s), affiliation and location. The language of the text, preceded by a short summary (abstract) in English, must be German, English, French, or Spanish. The outline follows the decimal system (1, 2, 2.1, 2.1.1). On a separate sheet, the postal address(es) of the author(s), including e-mail address, and a short bio-bibliographical note (3 - 5 lines) is to be attached. Quotations Quotations are referred to in the text with author (year: page) and indicated by normal quotation marks “…” (author year: page), unless a quotation is more than three lines long, in which case its left margin is - 0.5, in single spacing and petit (11 pts): I am a blind text, born blind. It took some until I realised what it meant to be a blind text. One doesn ’ t make sense; one is taken out of context; one isn ’ t even read most of the times. Am I, therefore, a bad text? I know, I will never have a chance to appear in Nature or Science, not even in Time magazine. Am I, therefore, less important? Okay, I am blind. But I enjoy being a text. Should I have made you read me to the end, I would have managed what most of the ‘ normal ’ texts will never achieve! I am a blind text, born blind … (author year: page). The short bibliographical reference in the text refers to the bibliography at the end. All deletions and additions must be indicated: deletions by three points in square brackets [ … ], additions by initials of the author. If there is a mistake in the original text, it has to be quoted as is, marked by [sic]. Quotations within quotations are indicated by single quotation marks: “… ‘…’ …” . Paraphrases must be indicated as well: (cf. author year: page) or author (year: page). Foreign words (nota bene) or terms (the concept of Aufklärung) are foregrounded by italics, so are lexical items or grammatical forms (the interjection gosh is regarded as outdated); the lexical meaning is given in single quotation marks (Aufklärung means ‘ Enlightenment ’ ); incorrect grammatical forms or sentences are marked by an asterisk (*he go to hell). Footnotes (annotations) Footnotes are indicated by upper case numbers (as argued by Kant. 2 ). Footnotes at the bottom of a page are preferred to annotations at the end of the article. They are written in single spacing, with a 1.5 space between them. Please avoid footnotes for mere bibliographical references.
