Editorial Policy
By submitting a manuscript, you declare that it is composed of your own original work and that you will not (and have not) submit(ted) this article elsewhere.
Acceptance for publication will be confirmed in writing following editorial review by the editorial board. Randomly selected submissions and suspected cases will be checked for plagiarism using software. Please note that by submitting your manuscript, you agree to the Publication Ethics.
If your article is accepted for publication in the yearbook, you grant Mohr Siebeck Publishing exclusive publishing rights. These publishing rights include the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute the article and to make it publicly available; this also covers unknown types of use. You retain the right to reproduce and distribute the digital offprint of your own contribution for private use (e.g., by email), but not to make it publicly available (e.g., on the Internet, intranet, or repository). Offering to send the PDF via social media is prohibited. For articles in journals, exclusivity expires 12 months after publication. Accordingly, you may then (a) reproduce the article elsewhere and distribute it in printed form; (b) grant another publisher simple reprint permission; (c) make the data from their own article publicly available in the printed version, provided this is not for commercial purposes. In all cases, the version published by Mohr Siebeck and, if available, the DOI must be referenced in full. The publication will be archived long-term with Portico and CLOCKSS to ensure its long-term availability.
After the issue is published, all authors will receive a free printed copy.
