Guidelines for the formal presentation of contributions

Please submit your contribution (article/review), ready to print and without handwritten corrections, both in electronic format – preferably by e-mail attachment to zcp@uni-bonn.de, or otherwise on disc or on CD-ROM – and in two printouts to one of the editors. The preferred word processing programmes are MS Word and OpenOffice (.doc, .rtf or .odt). Files in PDF format cannot be processed. In case you intend to hand in several manuscripts at once, please send these in seperate e-mails. Manuscripts submitted for publication will be assessed by at least one external referee whose corrections and suggestions will be forwarded by the editors to the author anonymously.

Formal structuring of articles/reviews

Articles (not reviews) should be preceded by an abstract of no more than 700 characters, in German or French for contributions written in English, in English for contributions in languages other than English. The main text is to be formatted in double spacing, with continuous page numbering.

Footnotes are numbered continuously and marked in the main text with a superscript number, to be inserted after any punctuation marks.

Special emphasis is to be marked in the following ways:

Special characters must be clearly legible. If required, they may be explained on a separate sheet. For all special fonts the font files are to be submitted together with the article.

Quotation marks are to be used as follows (in English text):
‘...’ for quotations within the running text and translations
“...” for quotations within a quotation, special terms, occasional usage.

Accent signs (´, `) may not be used for quotation marks.
Square brackets contain additions by the author; omissions are marked “…”.

For the use of brackets and other signs in editing inscriptions and other texts, please refer to the current version of the "Leiden Conventions":
http://www.csad.ox.ac.uk/varia/unicode/Dohnicht.pdf (particularly pp. 3–5);
for a summary see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiden_Conventions.

References/Bibliography

Full references are to be listed in a bibliography at the end of each contribution; references in footnotes are in the format.

LAST NAME year: page(s)/paragraph(s), e.g. THURNEYSEN 1946: §§12–14

referring to the corresponding entry in the bibliography. Established abbreviations such as GOI may be used instead. The year to be quoted is that of the original publication or a particular edition; reprints are referred to only in the case of further changes (other than the year; e.g. different publisher). Imprecise forms of reference such as ‘ff.’ after the initial page and ‘loc. cit.’, ‘op. cit.’ are not to be used. No space is inserted into references in the format ‘12f.’ and ‘§12’.

Entries in the bibliography are ordered alphabetically and works by the same author chronologically. Titles of articles are inserted between ‚...‘. Publication titles are printed in italics. Example of a bibliographical section:
