Submissions

Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• All personal Information has been removed from the Word Document. This can be done via the following menu commands: "File" -> "Information" -> "Check document" -> "Check for problems" -> "Check document" -> "Check" -> "Document properties and personal information" -> "Remove all"
• The text follows the stylistic and bibliographical guidelines in the Guidelines for Authors . As described there, manuscripts generally must be submitted in two versions: a complete version for the editorial office and an anonymized version, which does not allow easy conclusions about the author, for the double-blind peer review. This does not apply to reviews, editorials, etc.
• The text is single-spaced, font size 12, italicized where appropriate, not underlined (except for URL addresses). All illustrations, graphics and tables consisting of text and vector graphics only are inserted at appropriate place in the text. All bitmap graphics (jpeg, png, tiff) - are uploaded separately and in print quality (300 dpi) and named in the text with the appropriate file name ("Insert img332344.png here").
• The file is in Microsoft Word or LibreOffice/OpenOffice format.
• The paper is previously unpublished and has not been submitted to any other journal (otherwise, an explanation is included in "Comments to the Editor").
