Submitting an article for publication
Manuscripts containing a maximum of 12000 words can be submitted in English or German.
Starting with volume 2/2017, we manage articles and reviews in the ZUG with the online database ScholarOne of our publisher de Gruyter . We would like to ask you to register there and submit your manuscript through this portal.
The purpose of the database is to guarantee to you and us a smooth review and publishing process and to facilitate easier communication between authors and editors. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions on using ScholarOne.
Manuscripts are subject to a double-blind peer review process after an initial inspection by the editors. We therefore ask you to submit articles initially without any indication of the author’s identity. After the final decision, authors are asked to revise their articles for publication observing the instructions of the ZUG stylesheet.
The submission of articles via email to the editorship is still possible.
