Size and style

The abstract should be extended, clearly explaining the background and methodology of the research and —if there are ready— the data, results, and conclusions or its aim and expectations. The length of the text should be approximately 500 to 700 words. Maximum length is three pages, including one image and three to five bibliography references. Add a short biographical info (up to 100 words) and your ORCID.

The bibliography should follow the APA style.  You may also use the citations & bibliography tool of Microsoft Word. 

Formatting

Use Times Roman font throughout. Size should be 16pt for title, 14pt for author names, 12pt for the main text and 10pt for tables and captions. Spacing is at 1.33× with 6pt spacing below. Please turn all surnames of authors in the text to SMALL CAPS. In Microsoft Word the shortcut is SHIFT+CTRL+K

A template (.docx, 130kB) is available to help you format the abstract easily. Just download the file and type your text over the instructions and exmaples in it.
