The most important pages in the authors’ area

In our area for authors you will find all the general information you need about structuring your article, formatting your text, working with images and tables and so on. Here we have linked the most important pages for you:

Contribution header

In addition to the original title, provide an english translation of the main title in bold and in a new line (unless they are already in English). If there is a subtitle, it is also translated into English.
Contributions in the Europaeischen Journal fuer Minderheitenfragen have an abstract and keywords in English.

Translations and multilingualism

When translating a word into several languages, please follow this pattern:

tomorrow ‚morgen‘ (jutro)

Please set foreign language quotations (except English) in recte and reproduce them with a subsequent translation in the language of the article.

Abbreviated references in footnotes

Abbreviated references follow the atuhor-year-principle:

Meier 2020, 99.

in the case of two: Müller/Meier 2020, 2.

in the case of three: Müller/Meier/Schuster 2020, 2.

in the case of more than three: Müller u.a. 2020, 11.

If several publications by the same person and from the same year are cited, they are distinguished from one another by lowercase letters at the end of the year:

Meier 1999a, 5.

Meier 1999b, 17–23.

Please avoid using „f.“ or „ff.“ for page ranges. Instead, provide the exact page range:

12–13, 78–92

not: 12f., 78ff.

Multiple citations within a single work are separated by commas:

Kullmann (1960), 58–63, 169–173, 221., 227, 366, 369.

Several short references to different works in succession are separated by semicolons:

Dalfen 1972, 67; Dalfen 2012, 151–170; Radke-Uhlmann 2010, 29; Vancamp 2010, 11, 14, 18–20.

Do not refer to previous footnotes in the form ‘Meier 1999 (as in note 4)’.
Please avoid abbreviations such as ‘op. cit.’, ‘ibid.’ and ‘ibid.’.
Please do not include URLs as references in the footnotes; use the short reference instead. Please only include the URL in the detailed information in the bibliography.
Court decisions are cited with the date and file number:

VGH, Urt. v. 03.11.2013 - I ZR 227/14.

Institutions, laws and conventions are written in full when first mentioned, with the abbreviation in brackets. From the second mention onwards, the abbreviation can be used.
