Layout of your manuscript

Title
The title should be short and concise, clearly defining the content of the manuscript.

Abstract
The abstract should include all keywords and give the gist of your manuscript. It should have a maximum of 20 lines in length.

Body text
Do not include any repetitions. Logical and clear structure of the sections. Papers should comprise the following sections: abstract, introduction, experimental/tests, results, discussion and summary/conclusion. References to practical applications should always be provided.

Manuscript form

Body text
Please type the text as a continuous block, i.e. not interrupted by tables and figures. Paragraphs should be well proportioned.

Figures
Indicate these with “Fig.” Please supply all figures each as a TIFF-/JPEG-file, not incorportated in the text WORD-file, each with a minimum resolution of 300 DPIs in Photoshop. Limit the number of your figures to those absolutely essential. Preferred are high contrast, glossy photos (b/w or colour, if possible from 8 cm x 10 cm in size). Slides only be submitted if no other alternative is available. For micrographs, include a bar with the unit of measure and specification of scale in the photo.
You may also store/send your figures electronically (CD-ROM, email). Please consult the Editorial Department in this case.
Colour reproduction of your figures cannot always be guaranteed. If you have prepared graphs, etc., use graphic devices (dashes/dotted lines, etc.) rather than colours to indicate differences. Graphics are often scaled down for publication, therefor make sure any lettering will still be readable – capital letters should be at least 1,75 mm high when reduced. Enclose units of measure in square brackets.

Tables
Use arabic numerals to label tables (Table 1) and enclose these with your manuscript and diskette.

Captions
List the captions for both figures and tables at the end of the body text in the WORD-file.

Units
Please use the SI system.

References
In the body text, enclose references in square brackets [1]. List the references at the end of the text in accordance with the German standart DIN 1505 (start with the last name):
