Due to rising costs, we are forced to increase the basic price for publishing to EUR 190 per paper. Discounts remain valid.

Starting with the number 1/2022, the design of the introductory page of individual articles has been changed. Hashtags have been added to graphically highlight the main content of the contributions.

From issue 1/2021, Highlights will be presented at the beginning of each article to serve search engines and to make it easier for readers to find their way around the article. Highlights are a short collection of bullet points that convey the core findings and provide readers with a quick textual overview of the article. These three to five bullet points (maximum 85 symbols each) describe the essence of the research (e.g. results or conclusions) and highlight what is distinctive about it. Authors should place Highlights behind abstracts.
