Beitragseinreichung

Richtlinien für Autor/innen

The editors request contributors to kindly observe the following guidelines and to carefully read the MINIKOMI Style Sheet.

• Please send an email (including title and abstract of your paper) via e-mail to minikomi.ostasien@univie.ac.at. You will receive a login to the OJS-platform and can subsequently upload your manuscript to the platform for further processing.
• We accept submissions in English, German and Japanese. We do not accept articles that have been previously published or are under review elsewhere, but we do accept translations of articles (under condition that the copyright is granted), in the special translation category.
• An article manuscript should not exceed 8,000 words (without footnotes, references, etc.) and must be written in proficient English, German or Japanese, using double, not single, quotation marks. We do not provide additional language editing.
• In addition, an abstract of the text should be submitted in English; it should be between 150 and 300 words in length. Please provide five keywords, a short running title, your email address, institutional affiliation and postal address for the list of authors (email address and institutional affiliation will be made public).
• Kindly submit your manuscript in plain text using a Word document with as little formatting as possible.
• After the submission of your manuscript to our journal, the document will be forwarded to the issue editors.
  • They will decide if the article is ready to be submitted for intensive editorial review or (if desired) external peer-review.
  • During the review process you will be contacted via OJS (Open Journal System) by the editors providing feedback, critique and (external) reviews and are expected to react to the requests (in case of minor or major revisions) in time. 
  • After the review process you will be informed about the final decision of the reviewers and editors.  
• Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author grants the publisher the simple and spatially unlimited right to reproduce and disseminate his or her contribution in physical form, and to make it accessible to the public in print and free online versions (open access). We use CC-BY as standard open access licencens, but are also accepting stricter versions, if requested by the author(s) (e.g. CC BY-SA, CC BY-ND, CC BY-NC, CC BY-NC-SA, CC BY-NC-ND). For more informations on Creative Commons licensing (CC), please visit https://creativecommons.org/licenses/.
   
• Your article should be orientated towards a readership composed of scholars working in various disciplines, but written to be accessible to non-specialists as well.
