Summary/Abstract

Please describe the most important aspects succinctly in a few sentences (approx. 900 characters). As to structure, your manuscript can be based on the following general precepts:

  • What was the problem? (Introduction)
  • What was investigated, and how? (Material and Methods)
  • What was discovered? (Results)
  • What does this mean in comparison to other studies? (Discussion)
  • What can be derived from this? (Conclusions)

References to literature are not given in the summary but only in the main text.

Main text

Please structure the text with subheadings (introduction without subheading).

Tables

  • SI units are to be used.
  • All tables to be numbered consecutively and must be referenced in the text.
  • Footnotes to be numbered below the table and have a final point.
  • Sources of information used in the respective tables should be attributed, just like a literature reference, and positioned after any footnotes.

Illustrations

  • Photos, graphics, panels, diagrams, drawings, etc. can be included in the manuscript as illustrations.
  • Illustrations should have a resolution of at least 1500 pixels in width.
  • All illustrations must be numbered consecutively and referenced in the text.
  • When labelling the coordinate axes, care must be taken to ensure that numerical information is easy to read. The x and y-axes must have a numerical division and be uniformly labelled. For the axis labels, the description, the formula symbol and the SI unit must be specified.
  • Example: velocity v in m/s
  • Images must be credited with a source (© A. Mustermann).
  • In the case of pictures and graphics, the author ensures that the rights of reproduction and publication have been granted by the copyright holder.
