For sending your manuscript in electronic form (word document) to one of the editors, please use the "Template_ZGE_2020.docx" and follow the "Manuscript Guidelines."

Publication guidelines
IPJ only publishes original contributions. Acceptance for publication is confirmed in writing following editorial review by the editorial board, subject to the condition that the manuscript has not been published elsewhere or submitted for publication. Randomly selected submissions and suspected cases are checked for plagiarism using software. Please note that by submitting your manuscript, you agree to the Publication Ethics. 
As long as the journal is published under the Subscribe-to-Open (S2O) model, authors license their contributions under the CC BY-SA 4.0 license upon acceptance for publication (a different license is possible in individual cases for compelling reasons, e.g., funding requirements). Mohr Siebeck is also granted a simple publishing right. This includes the right to reproduce and distribute the article and make it publicly available. If the CC license goes beyond the publishing right granted, its scope applies. 
Authors may upload the PDF file of their work to institutional or subject-specific repositories at any time. The publication will be archived for the long term with Portico and CLOCKSS, ensuring its long-term availability. 
No article processing charges are levied, and there is no remuneration. After publication of the issue, all authors will receive a free printed copy.
