Instructions to Authors

Editors and Editorial Management invite authors to send in manuscripts with the content of focus of the German Journal of Economic Geography. Please send articles with all documents to the Editors or the Editorial Management.

All manuscripts handed in pass through the "double-blind peer review"-procedure of the German Journal of Economic Geography.

Arcticles should not be longer than approx. 57.000 – 60.000 strokes (including space character, without images). Please send articles as hardcopy and softcopy. An English abstract has to be enclosed, which should be not longer than 500 strokes including the title.

In articles in german language the recent rules of German orthography should be used. Please obviate separate spelling which alienates the meaning of a word.

Editors and Editorial management invite explicitly to hand in English manuscripts. The authors are responsible for the formal correctness.

Please hand in figures (maps, graphics, photos etc.) and tables printable in the desired size as a separate file – not integrated in the text – or as repro able sample (in consideration of the print space). Images can only be printed black and white. It is recommended to number figures (Fig. 1…) and tables (Table 1…) respectively serially. Printing of large-sized maps as fold-up maps is possible for absorption of costs. Titles and references will be placed consistently. Therefore they should not be integrated into the figures but be listed separately.

References have to be listed in short form in the text and in detail at the end of the article. Please notice the quotation advises of the German Journal of Economic Geography. Explanatory notes cannot be placed as footnotes, just as endnotes.

The authors will get galley-proofs for proof-reading and error correction. Additions of content or stylistic changes are just possible in exceptional cases.
