DRAFT ELEMENTS

Title Page • Author(s), editor(s), working title, subtitle.
Contents • The table of contents should clearly show the order of chapters and topics and their hierarchy (we suggest numbering the chapters/sections).
Preface and/or Epilogue • Mandatory for edited books, recommended for other types of manuscripts.
Main body of text • While working on the final copy
of the main body of text special attention must be
given to the following points.

System of titles The inner logic of the book should be reflected in the titles; it should correspond with the table of contents. In addition, the titles should be short if possible. Apart from the title and subtitle of the book, they should contain no more than three title rankings.

Paragraphs A new idea should appear in a new paragraph. Indicate the new paragraph with an [Enter]. Avoid paragraphs of only one or two sentences! Avoid the use of the Tab key in indenting, the final form of the paragraphs will be given during typesetting.

Highlights Use of cursive (italic) is the most common form of emphasis. Italics may be used for names, concepts, or important expressions. Bold text may only be used in certain textbooks and notes. The working draft should have no underlined text.

Lists Listed points and data may be given and numbered up to two sub-sections. In addition to numbers, letters or dashes, or other symbols may be used. Whichever marker is chosen it must be used throughout the draft. A period (full stop) is to be placed after each number, and brackets are to be used after letters!.

Abbreviations Abbreviations must always be given first in full, that is to say any shortened concept, law, name must first be given in full and then afterward the abbreviation is introduced using the “hereinafter” expression.

Quoting (quotation) For more information on quotes see e.g. Butcher, Judith – Drake, Caroline – Leach, Maureen (2006): Butcher’s Copy-editing. The Cambridge Handbook for Editors, Copy-editors and Proofreaders. 4th ed. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 264–266.

  • To indicate a quotation the following quotation marks are used: “quote”.

  • To indicate a quote within a quotation single quotation marks are used: “quote ‘quote within a quote’ end of quote.”

  • Added particles within a quote are to be shown thus: “quote[s].”

References (works cited, bibliography) Whichever method is chosen, it should be consistent in form and use and precise in content. In the References/Bibliography, all references must be indicated and no non-referenced item may appear in the main body. A list of works cited is a mandatory component of the submitted draft. The Bibliography may include all works of relevance to the article, regardless of their being cited or not. We ask that you use one of the following forms of reference:

  1. Short intra-text bracketed, with works cited in alphabetical order with given year.

  2. Short references in footnotes and in alphabetical order with given year.

The exact form and content are given in the Ap- pendix (Formal requirements of references chart).

Illustrations, charts and graphs • Illustrations, tables and figures should only be used if they contain relevant information. Tables, digital illustrations and other illustrations are to be in editing enabled file format. The figures and tables must be numbered! The tables are to have titles (appearing above the table), the diagrams are to have signatures/subtext (appearing below the figure). The illustrations (tables, figures, pictures) are to be given references for their sources. Illustrations of no informational value, possibly of unpublishable quality, or of uncertain source, may be withheld from publication at the publisher’s discretion.

Characters

Foreign characters If the draft document contains foreign character (Greek, Cyrillic, Arabic etc.), we ask that you only use one font (e.g. Times New Roman).
