Contribution structure

• Keep main titles as short, concise and precise as possible.
• Please break up long titles into main titles and subtitles instead of using dashes, colons or full stops to structure them.
• The main title ends without punctuation (the only exceptions are question marks and exclamation marks).
• The subtitle follows in a new line underneath the main title.
• In the case of edited volumes, the author details (without ‘von’, ‘by’, ‘par’ or similar) with full first and last names appear above the main title and subtitle (without title and place of publication).
• Multiple contributors are separated by a slash.

• Each (non-English) main title and subtitle is accompanied by an English translation.
• The English main title is in bold, the English subtitle is in italics on a new line:

(English) Translation of Main Heading
(English) Translation of Subheading

• In English titles and subtitles, please capitalise all nouns, adjectives and verbs, but not articles, pronouns, etc.

• Abstracts should contain approximately 600–800 characters (including spaces), followed by 6 keywords with the most important search terms for the topic (on a new line). Abstracts and keywords begin with an angle bracket in bold (instead of a heading). Please separate keywords with commas, without a full stop after the last keyword:

Abstract: Here is the text of the abstract
Keywords: First keyword, second keyword, third keyword, fourth keyword, fifth keyword, sixth keyword

• An English version of the abstract and keywords should follow in the same format.
• Please do not include a short table of contents at the beginning of your contributions.

• Please use Arabic numbering for subheadings. The number 0 is not permitted.
• Subheadings never consist of just a number, but always include text as well.
• Unlike contribution titles, subheadings are structured using punctuation marks (full stops, colons, dashes) where necessary.

• In edited volumes, lists of figures are inserted before the bibliography of the article so that all information on sources and licences can be traced at the contribution level. We have compiled more information on lists and bibliographies for youhere.
  
• In anthologies, lists of sources and bibliographies are also placed at the end of each contribution (before the author's details) so that all references can be traced back to the relevant contribution. Please note that for some of our series, thecitation guidelines are specified by the editorial boards.
  
• The bibliography should be titled according to the guidelines provided by the volume editors.

• In order to ensure that the information is also included at the contribution level, biographical details and/or affiliations should follow directly after the respective essay (after the bibliography, if applicable), rather than in a separate list.
• The vita begins with a bold-faced superscript, and the affiliation is listed below the vita.
• Please check with your editorial board if biographical deatils are necessary.

• The review header consists of bibliographic information about the reviewed work. The author's name and title are in bold, and the additional bibliographic information is in regular type on a new line, following the pattern below.
• The reviewer's contact details are provided at the end of a review. Here, too, the name is in bold, with the additional contact information in regular font on a new line, following the pattern below.
