Vierteljahrschrift fuer Sozial- und Wirtschaftsgeschichte

The most important pages in the author’s section

In our section 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 structure
  • Text body
  • Figures and images
  • Tables

On this page

On this page, we have also collected specific information about your journal – e.g. language variants in the article header, the citation guidelines and the required personal details:
  • Translation, abstract and keywords
  • Abbreviated references in the footnotes
  • List of sources
  • Detailed references in the bibliography

Translation, abstract and keywords

  • The title in the original language is followed by the English translation of the title in a new line and in bold, unless the title is already in English. If there is a subtitle, it is also translated into English.
  • Contributions in the Jahrbuecher fuer Geschichte Osteuropas include an abstract and keywords in English. There are no abstracts or keywords in the original language.
  • In addition to the keywords, please classify your text with three to six JEL codes. The codes should be listed in order of relevance, not necessarily alphanumerically. A list of JEL codes can be found at: 
    • https://www.aeaweb.org/econlit/jelCodes.php?view=jel  

Abbreviated references in the footnotes

  • Sources and references are given in the footnotes in abbreviated form, and the detailed bibliographic information is provided in a bibliography at the end of each contribution.
  • The abbreviated form follows the author-year-principle:
Meier (2019), S. 14–17.
bei zweien: Meier/Müller (2009), S. 17–21.
bei mehr als zweien: Meier u.a. (2013), S. 54.

List of sources

  • Sources used in the text or footnotes must be listed in a separate list of sources before the bibliography.
  • The list of sources is sorted alphabetically.
  • For archival materials, it is sufficient to indicate the archive and collection. It is not necessary to indicate the box/folio.

Detailed references in the bibliography

  • The bibliography is sorted alphabetically by author and, within each author, by year of publication.
  • Series titles are not included.
  • Archives and archival sources are listed according to the respective archival regulations.
