1.3 Text EmphasisPlease limit text emphasis to the use of italics. Do not use underlining, bold type, or small caps. Your file must not contain any “hidden” text.

1.4 HyphenationPlease refrain from manual hyphenation, as the line breaks will change during the process of formatting the anthology. We will insert the necessary syllable divisions in the final version before publishing.

4 Graphics/Images/Tables 4.1 GraphicsIn a chart or graph, the grid area and gridlines should have a tonal value of at least 20%. The minimum line weight is 0.5 pt.If it is necessary that the graphic be presented in grayscale, there must be a clear distinction between shades (a difference of at least 20%). Alternatively, we rec-ommend using coarse hatching.

4.2 ImagesWhen incorporating line drawings, please ensure that they have a resolution of 1200 DPI. Photographs must be embedded with a resolution of at least 300 DPI. Images are to be saved either as TIFF or JPEG files.Please note that images from PowerPoint presentations do not meet the required print quality.

4.3 TablesTables are to be produced using the Tables tool in MS Word (“Table – Insert”); under no circumstances should they be created using the tabulator key or with spaces.Please refrain from using design elements such as grayscale unless they serve an informational purpose.

5 Delivery of ManuscriptsThe deadline for submissions is Friday, January 8, 2016. All documents must be formatted to meet the requirements listed above and de-livered both in open file (Word file) and PDF form. If images are embedded in the document, please send them separately as TIFF or JPEG files. The maximum length for German texts is 7,500 words, the maximum for Eng-lish texts is 9,000 words. Due to average word length, this results in documents with roughly the same page count.By submitting your document, you confirm that you have obtained the necessary permission to use any copyrighted material, e.g. graphics.
