Process

The receipt of a text is confirmed by the editors. The editorial team then reviews the text and decides whether to accept it. We assume that submitted texts have not already been published elsewhere and are not submitted or intended for publication elsewhere without consultation. Contributions are proofread by the editorial team. Suggestions for changes in content will be coordinated with the author. Prior to printing, the author will receive a print-ready copy for review. The editorial office cannot guarantee that a contribution will appear in a particular issue.

Compensation

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

Author’s note

For the author’s note we need a photo as well as a brief description of your professional biography (about 2-3 lines), place of work and focus of your professional activities.
