Please pay careful attention to these few guidelines in order to help us to edit and publish your submissions.

Please submit your article via the homepage of the journal (www.jeac.de). You can create a corresponding account yourself (https://jeac.de/ojs/index.php/jeac/user/register) in a few minutes. If you have an ORCID number, we kindly ask you to enter it in your account, as this facilitates the networking of the metadata of the publications and ensures the correct allocation of your publications to you.

4. Text formatting
Please refrain from using justification, hyphenation, margin alignment, and small caps or blocking for emphasis; additionally, please do not set up spacing between paragraphs, etc. You can use italics for emphasis; subheadings are of course possible - but please do not format them automatically.
Please number your headings according to structure 1. / 1.1. / 1.1.1. and do not use more than three levels of headlines.
Experience has shown that many manuscripts, especially if they originated as lecture manuscripts, feature too many paragraphs. Please be economical here.

Quotation marks „...“ are to be used for quotes from modern works and sources.
Omissions are indicated by square brackets: [...].
Please set Latin quotes in italics; Greek quotes do not need quotation marks.
