The receipt of a text is confirmed by the editors. The editorial team then reviews the text and decides on its acceptance.
We assume that submitted texts have not already been published elsewhere and are not otherwise submitted or provided for publication without agreement. Contributions are edited by the editors. Proposals for changes in content are agreed with the author. Before printing, the author receives a ready-to-print copy for examination. The editors cannot guarantee that a contribution will appear in a particular issue.

Contributions in the journal are usually not compensated. The author receives 2-3 copies of the issue in which the contribution appears.
