Author Guidelines

General:

• Length of article: 4000 - 6000 words (maximum); the (guest) editors can specify other text lengths.

Important: Abstract and keywords must be inserted both in the text document itself and in the OJS (under Meta data upon submission)! Please fill it in the OJS in German and in English - in the text document itself only in the language of the article!

For writing the article, please use the template provided by the editorial team!

The file name you upload in the OJS should contain: Autor name_short titel_V1 (or consecutively numbered when resubmitting!), add date if necessary: e.g: Klausner_Beteiligt Euch_V4

Formal:

spelling, expression, style:

• Pay attention to grammar (time, sentence structure, style etc.)
• Please use a gender-neutral expression. Individuals should not be gendered unless the author is aware of non-binary positioning.
• Abbreviations used should be written out once in the text, e.g. State Law and Order Restoration Council SLORC. The name should be italicized in the long form only when foreign words are involved.
• Foreign words, titles of works, special proper names (e.g. of institutions, organizations, bodies or e.g. of newspapers, magazines) in capital letters: e.g. United Nations
• Book/magazine titles: in capital letters except for prepositions (the, on, in...)
• If you name a book or article title in the text, please use italics to highlight the name. E.g.: In his monography The Participant anthropologist Christopher Kelty ….….“
• Names should not be written in italics, e.g. Sakyin Hills.
• For abbreviations, proper names and their explanations/translations:

Authority for the Advancement of Women and Protection of Children Badan PP (Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak).

• Use footnotes and no endnotes
• Make long dashes! (hold down Ctrl and -)
• Title and subtitle with . (‘point’) or : ('colon') to separate titles and subtitles
• Note: please use paragraphs sparingly

Special characters:

• "..." Quotation marks: only for direct quotations
• '...' Single quotation marks mean distancing
• Italics mean emphasis

Citation style:

In the continuous text, citations are made according to the Harvard system, i.e., supporting documents are placed in the continuous text and not in the footnotes.

• (Welz 2013)
• With page reference: (Welz 2013: 35)
• Multiple authors per reference: (Marcus & Cushmann 1982), or if more than two: (Welz et al. 2010).
• Multiple locations per reference: if more than three, etc.
• Multiple references: (Marcus & Cushmann 1982; Gesing et al. 2018) usually start with the oldest and arrange chronologically; pls. well-dose your selection of the number of reference
• Same reference/author following: ibid. (e.g., Welz 2013: 45 then becomes ibid.: 47 or, for the same page, just ibid.)
• Field research diary entries: if more than 3 lines: indent and without quotation marks + source at the end: field notes, date (field notes, 14.07.2019)

• n.p. (no page; no indication for missing page numbers)
• s.l. (sine locum; without location for missing location information)

• add no more than three publication places (only cities!) per source (no et al.)
• c. f. = reference to a further discussion
