General notes
- References are included in the footnotes. There is no separate bibliography.
- When citing a publication for the first time, use the full title; for all subsequent citations, use a short title according to the scheme below.
- If the author of an article is identical with the editor of the collected volume, the second mention is abbreviated, i.e.: “ed. by ibid”.
- For multiple authorship with up to three authors, separate the last one with “and”; for more than three authors, use “et al.” after the first one.
- Separate multiple places of publication with commas; for more than three places, use “et al.” after the first one.
- Please indicate emphasis in the original text after the bibliography in square brackets, i.e.: [Emphasis in original]; emphasis added by you should be indicated as follows: [Emphasis added by N.N.].
- Abbreviations and sigla are to be avoided due to the interdisciplinary character of the publication.

Heinen, Sommer: Narratology and Interdisciplinarity, p. 241.
