Articles submitted for publication must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Permission to reproduce copyright material must have been obtained by the author.

Articles may be submitted in any language represented by the editorial board. Submissions in languages other than English need an English summary of 400-500 words. If the paper is accepted, authors are normally asked to submit an English version. The electronic form of publishing will also allow the publication of the final version of the paper in its original language.

The manuscript

All manuscripts should be typed double spaced throughout in A4-format. Pages should be numbered serially. Authors are asked not to use foot notes extensively, and not to use end notes. If possible, please do not use more than two levels of sub-headings in order to devide the text and structure the paper for the convenience of the reader.

References

Authors are asked to pay particular attention to the correct presentation of references. References should follow the Harvard system. Within the text, they should be indicated by author and year of publication in parenthesis, e.g. Walsh (1995),or (Ahrne 1990, 95-107). Publications of the same year and the same author(s) should be cited as (1995a; 1995b). In case of more than two authors the reference within the text should be Walsh et al. (1996) or (Ahrne et al. 1992, 195-207)., whereas in the reference list all authors should be included. The reference should appear at the end of the text and include solely the literature quoted in the text. The reference list needs to follow the alphabetical order and in case of citing several papers by the author follow the chronological order.

Please use the following style for the referencing of books, book chapters and journal articles:

Fabricant, M. B. and Fisher, R. (2002) Settlement Houses under Siege. The Struggle to Sustain Community Organizations in New York. New York, Columbia UP
