Pre-defined text styles and further instructions

Pre-defined text styles

Please use the predefined styles (Table 1).

Table 1. Predefined styles

Text element	Pre-defined Style
Abstract title	use «Title»
Addresses of authors	use «Address»
Authors	use «Authors»
Body text	use «Body text»
Bullet lists	use «Bullets»
Figure and table captions	use «Figure caption» and «Table caption»
Reference list	use «Reference list»
Section headers	use «Section header» and «Sub-header»
Table text	use «Table text»

Further instructions

Use Arial 11, 1.15 spacing, italics and scientific notations according to standard international rules. Margins are given by this template. The abstract file should be submitted in .docx format. In addition, we request the submission of a .pdf file to enable us to check for correct reproduction of special characters. Use automatic hyphenation.

Figures, photographs and tables

We recommend to submit drawings and photographs in pixel form (e.g. .tif, highest quality .jpg). Please make sure that you scale your illustration to printing size (maximum 24 cm x 17 cm). Please check that your figures and included text are readable at this size (avoid text smaller than 8pts). We recommend a resolution of 600 dpi for pictures and graphics. Mention the name of the photographer or the source in the caption. Please put captions directly below figures and photographs (see below) and above tables. Please include all texts and annotations in the figures themselves. DO NOT add texts or annotations over the figures in your text editor. For tables stick to the illustrated format.
