(1) Papers should be between 10 and 18 pages in length (4,000 to 8,000 words) A4 or letter, double-spaced, 12-point, Times New Roman.

(2) We would like to have your paper, written in English, in MS-Word (*.doc, *.docx) or Libre Office (*.odt). We can of course render other formats for web publication, but copy editors will generally only work with a standard word processor format.
