Structure of the contributions

Title
of first and last name of author

Ex: Court physicians and personal physicians in the early modern period - Introduction
by Marina Hilber and Elena Taddei

Abstract and title in English (or in German if the paper is in English); approx. 10 lines

Main text

The text should be divided into several parts. Each part should start with a heading (e.g., Introduction, Summary), separated by a blank line. No bold print, no numbering!

Special elements in the main text

Tables, diagrams, figures are to be numbered (Fig. 1), provided with a caption and provisionally inserted into the text at the preferred position.

Literal quotations

• Literal quotations from research literature and source material are to be placed in "double quotation marks", quotations in the citation in 'single quotation marks'. If a term is emphasized or used in a distancing manner, it should be italicized (e.g., insane asylum).
• Omissions in the reproduction of a literal quotation are marked by [...]. Insertions are also placed in square brackets [x]. Peculiar spellings or typos in the original may be indicated by [sic].
• Without exception, literal quotations are to be supported by footnotes with the corresponding bibliography or source reference.
• Verbatim quotations of three lines or more should be placed in a separate paragraph and indented (indentation, 10 pt, 1.0 line spacing) while retaining the quotation marks.

Notes, bibliography and list of sources

• Annotations are to be placed as footnotes at the end of each page and numbered automatically. Footnote characters are placed at the end of each sentence immediately after the punctuation mark (without spaces) e.g.: Text.1 or: Text "Text".1
• No separate bibliography and list of sources is provided; the reference to literature and sources is made exclusively in the notes by the first complete citation. From the second citation on, only the short citation is given: last name, original title up to the first noun, page number: Buck, Höfischer Humanismus, 93.

Spelling according to Duden.

Gender-equitable language

Gender-sensitive language should be used where appropriate.

Formatting

• The main text should be set in Times New Roman, 12 point, 1.5 line spacing in the submitted files.
• The footnote text should also be in Times New Roman, 10 point, 1.0 line spacing.

The following should be completely avoided

• hyphenation
• style sheets of any kind, with the exception of "Standard" and "Footnote" text
• changing line spacing or indents (not even at the beginning of paragraphs)
• underlining
• continuous CAPITAL LETTERS
• extended (locks) or shortened character spacing
• so-called "text effects
• shading

Hyphens and dashes

Between page numbers always long hyphens without spaces (69-75). Dashes in the text must also be long - not short.

Number words and dates

• number words up to and including twelve must be written out (exception: date).
• month names are always to be written out in the text (e.g., May 15, 1782); dates in footnotes are always numerical without 0: 8.7.2021.
• a long hyphen is to be used when specifying time periods (e.g. 1500-1750).
• thousand digits are separated by a period (e.g., 1,000, 100,000).
