1. Manuscripts should be submitted in English or German. If not written by a native speaker of English or German, it is advisable to have the paper checked by a native speaker.

3. Line drawings and graphical images (figures) and photographs (plates) should be submitted as EPS or TIFF files, or as reproducible originals. All figures and plates should have a resolution of 300 dpi, and the size of the images should not be smaller than the intended size (i.e. no thumbnails). Figures or Plates should be numbered consecutively and provided with appropriate captions Reference to any Figures or Plates should be made in the main text and their desired position should be indicated clearly on the hard copy.
4. Tables should be numbered consecutively and provided with appropriate captions. They should be referred to in the main text and their desired position should be indicated in the hard copy.
5. Quotations should be given in double quotation marks. Quotations longer than 4 lines should be indented with one line space above and below the quoted text.
6. Footnotes should be kept to a minimum. They should be numbered consecutively throughout the text. The footnotes should not contain reference material if this can be absorbed in the text and References list.
