Preparation and Submission of Manuscripts
• The Journal neither favours nor excludes any research orientation. Manuscripts may be submitted in German, French or English. Articles are considered on their merits and in relation to the overall programme of the journal. All manuscripts are subject to review by the editorial committee and by independent experts.• Contributions should be accompanied by a statement that they have not already been published, and that they will not be submitted for publication elsewhere without the agreement of the Editor-in Chief.
• It is understood that manuscripts accepted for publication are subject to editorial revision.
• Articles should preferably not exceed 50’000 characters or 8’000 words. They should be accompanied by abstracts of approximately 650 characters or 100 words in English, German, and French and a translation of the main title of the contribution.
• Manuscripts should be typed in double-line spacing. Two copies of the article should be provided, together with a diskette (or as e-mail attachment) in Word, or in RTF- or ASCII-Format respectively.
• Phrases to be pointed out should be underlined. Foot-/Endnotes are to be used sparingly and in particular not for references. Any notes should be numbered consecutively throughout the article, except those in tables and figures.
• The preferred form of citation is the inclusion in the text, within parentheses, of the author's last name, year of publication and, if applicable, page number(s). The corresponding references should be provided in an alphabetical list at the end of the manuscript.
• Tables should be numbered consecutively and presented separately, one to a page, at the end of the text. The data on which diagrams and figures are based must be provided (by preference in Excel format). No text should be included within diagrams. Tables and diagrams should bear a descriptive title and any notes should be numbered. The location where tables and figures are to be inserted are marked as follows: # about here Tab. 1 #
• Manuscripts submitted for publication should enclose on a separate page the author’s full name as well as his/their institutional affiliation(s) and addresses and a statistics of the document. The authors should not be identifiable in the body of the article.
