The series Geschichte im mitteleuropäischen Kontext accepts articles and texts that have not yet been published before (this also applies to publications on the Internet) and are not offered for printing in other publishing houses or media. Their authors are fully responsible for the content of the article (i.e. for all its parts: text, illustrations, footnotes, bibliography, etc.). Articles are published in German or English, with a short summary in English, keywords and a bibliography. The authors do not receive royalties for the texts published in the series.

Principles for writing a text

When writing your text, follow the page layout and formatting guidelines below. Please do not stray from basic formatting without a clear need – e.g., do not add headings, page numbers, non-standard indentations at the beginning of paragraphs, and do not use special fonts. Texts should be sent as a text file in *.rtf or *.docx format

Article structure

  • Name, affiliation (in the original language), e-mail address, ORCID (full address, e.g. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5322-0125).
  • Title (in bold and centred, also subheadings in bold and centred).
  • Article (footnotes at the bottom of the page – only in abridged form).
  • Abstract (max. 500 characters with spaces).
  • Keywords (max. 5 phrases).
  • Bibliography (divided into: Archival Sources; Printed Sources and Literature). Please use the full bibliographic notation in the bibliography. Please do not translate entries in the bibliography and do not use any abbreviations.
  • Illustrations: each illustration should be given in the form of a separate file with its name, at the end of the article, please put a list of illustrations with the proposed captions (please note that illustrations are published at the end of the article).

General guidelines: text and footnotes

  • Titles: all titles (of articles, books, sources, collective works, journals, projects, archival collections, etc.) should be written in italics (throughout the article: in the text, footnotes, bibliographies, captions under illustrations, charts, etc.).
  • German grammar: please follow the rules of the Duden dictionary.
  • Footnote number: 1. If a footnote refers to the word (group of words) directly preceding it, the footnote number is placed immediately after this word (group of words), before a comma, full stop or other punctuation marks. 2. If a footnote refers to a whole sentence (or several sentences), the number of the footnote is placed after the closing punctuation mark (or several sentences). 3. With quotations, the footnote number is placed after the closing quotation marks.
  • Names of institutions, organizations, etc.: when quoting for the first time, give the full name, without abbreviations. Note: in the case of a translated name, please give the original official name (in the language of the country) in parentheses or a footnote.
  • Abbreviations: generally, please do not use abbreviations in the title and text. Abbreviations may be used in footnotes, for example: i.e., etc., e.g.
  • Quotations from sources and literature: in quotation marks (12-point font in the main text, 10-point font in footnotes) or larger passages (applies only to the main text) without quotation marks in separate paragraphs (11-point font) with an extended left margin (3.5 cm spacing). Please use English quotation marks (do not use, for example, French quotation marks « … »).

  • A quote within a quote is marked with single quotation marks: “At the end of his life, John said: ‘I have no regrets.’”
  • Omission of individual fragments in the quote or your own additions: please mark with square brackets, e.g. “The sky […] is blue.” or “This country [Argentina] was really beautiful.”
  • Hyphens and dashes: dates and double names without spaces between the hyphen or dash: Nowak-Kowalska, 1546–1563 (and not: Nowak – Kowalska, 1546-1563).
