Manuscripts should be prepared as described in the Instructions to Authors and checked thoroughly to make certain that they are complete. Referring to websites should be avoided. If, however, an essential publication is available EXCLUSIVELY on the internet (printed version does not exist) it can be referred to by its URL (Universal Resource Locator) or DOI (Digital Object Identifier) ONLY. Its accessibility in foreseeable future in an unchanged form must be verfified and guaranteed. If web-only publications cannot be found when an article is send to print, the references may be replaced with 'unpublished data' without notice.

To facilitate reviewing lines of the text should be continuously numbered [e.g. in MS Word, please select 'Document' from the 'Format' menu, press 'Layout' and in the next window 'Line numbers ...', then check 'Add line numbering', 'Start at = 1', 'From text = Auto', 'Count by = 1' and select 'Continuous'; after pressing OK, lines in your document will be numbered].

Submission Method

The entire manuscript (incl. figures and tables) should be sent electronically (by e-mail) in PDF format (one printable and unprotected file with all fonts included) along with the completed Submission form directly to the editor (see below) whose area of expertise covers the subject of the paper. Before creating a pdf file from a word processor file, please turn on continuous line numbering. Due to possible font incompatibilities resulting in missing letters or symbols, please do not submit manuscripts as MSWord (or other wordprocessor) .doc or .rtf files. The information normally given in a cover letter can be place in the body of a message. Submission lacking the form may be disregarded.
