Instructions for contributors

Starting with volume 22, manuscripts should be submitted, either in MS Word or in OpenOffice/LibreOffice Writer format, by e-mail to raf.dekeyser@bib.kuleuven.be. (In the near future, submission will be possible through direct uploading into the Open Journal System (OJS) software of Igitur.) They must be written in English and include an abstract and three or four keywords. Tables must be embedded in the text, pictures also embedded and preferably added in separate files. Special attention must be given to the references, where we shall follow the APA style (American Psychological Association, see, e.g., http://www.cws.illinois.edu/workshop/writers/citation/apa/#internet). References should be separated from notes (end-notes are to be preferred).

Where appropriate, the accompanying dataset(s) should be submitted along with the work. The data should be restricted to the work's scope. In the case of datasets, please avoid binary formats in favour of long-term readability - CSV or alike are most welcome.

If the article is resulting from an EC or ERC project, please mention the Grant Agreement number and the name of the project.

Authors who are non-native English speakers are strongly recommended to have their texts read and corrected by a native English speaking colleague.
