HSR-guidelines for manuscripts

Scripts are welcome — both in German and English language. Please, hand in your contribution as word-file and as printed original for controlling with preferably little own formatting. The following manuscript-guidelines for the HSR can be used as orientation.


Composition

The margins are set as following:

top: 4 cm;
left: 4,54 cm;
bottom: 8 cm;
right: 5,75 cm

Guidelines for formatting

The continuous text should be in 9.5 point Times (or Times New Roman) with the exact line pitch of 11.5 pt. The first line of a chapter´s paragraph is not indented.

The following paragraphs are indented by 0.4 cm.

Footnotes in 8 point Times (or Times New Roman), single-spaced, and formatted with hanging indent 0.3 cm.


Tables and graphics

We accurately deal with tables and graphics in order to present them in an optically appealing and well legible form. You can help us with that in setting tabs, blanks and similar "tricks" aside in your tables. Please do not send colored graphics as HSR is printed in black and white and we have to deal with samples that are black and white or in different grayscales. A potentially different meaning of colors should be distinguishable by different symbols (e.g. dashed or lined arrows).


Bibliographical references

The bibliographical references at the end of the text and the in-text citations should follow the Chicago Citation Style.

    Examples:

In-text Citation:
Book:   (Doniger 1999, 65)
Journal article:   (Smith 1998, 639)

Book:    Doniger, Wendy. 1999. Splitting the difference. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.
