Submission guidelines
Instructions for Authors
Types of papers
Original papers should present new scientific findings that have not been previously published.
Short communications are short reports of new results of special interest. Authors are required to append a note explaining why the results merit publication in this form. Short communications are restricted to 2-3 pages only (one page corresponds to approximately: 580 words text, or 3 illustrations with their legends, or 55 references), including one table and, if necessary, one figure.
Reviews are highly welcome, authors are requested to contact the Reviews Editor for suitability before submitting the manuscript. Reviews should not exceed 10 printed pages, including tables, figures and references (one page corresponds to approximately: 580 words text, or 3 illustrations with their legends, or 55 references). The paper must be subdivided into appropriate sections including an abstract and brief introduction. The references should comprise relevant publications up to the year in which the paper is being submitted.
Position paper
It is a short contribution focusing on topics needing or calling for discussion or reconsideration of forgotten topics. It should report a clear position on the target topic and should also suggest a proposal or actions regarding the target topic. It should stimulate imaginative and hypothesis-driven research. The length of the contribution is a maximum of 4 typed pages (Times New Roman 12 pt font, double spaced) plus 1 figure, 1 table, and a maximum of 10 references and information sources. Citation of official statistics, events (e.g., special symposia, conferences) and outcome from international organizations working in the field are highly welcome. The proposed structure of a position paper is:
• problem faced and its relevance;
• a brief state-of-the-art (also considering the often neglected bibliography that existed before the arrival of the electronic searches), so as to interpret today’s challenges, with citations and solutions to the problem and authors’ outlook on the future work.
The structure may slightly vary but each paragraph should develop a single item. Individuals or representatives of organizations directly cited in position papers have the right to respond with a position paper in order to rectify affirmations or to refute eventual concept misinterpretations.
Opinion Paper
It reports original and personal views on a given subject. Authors should outline and craft selected arguments by bringing original and groundbreaking ideas and imaginative research solutions. The proposed structure of an opinion paper is:
• introduction to the topic;
• presentation of innovative and original hypotheses, and discussion of published data;
• analysis of the impact of the proposed hypotheses and of the target audience.
Opinion papers should be based on published data, and should not expand on opinions by others, and should be written in a logical, professionally sound and convincing way. The structure may slightly vary but each paragraph should develop a single item. The length of an opinion paper is a maximum of 5 typed pages (Times New Roman 12 pt font, double spaced) plus 1 figure, 1 table, and a maximum of 10 references including factual articles and reports.
Manuscript Submission
Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before; that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities – tacitly or explicitly – at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Permissions
Authors wishing to include figures, tables, or text passages that have already been published elsewhere are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s) for both the print and online format and to include evidence that such permission has been granted when submitting their papers. Any material received without such evidence will be assumed to originate from the authors.
Online Submission

They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.
Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Footnotes to the title or the authors of the article are not given reference symbols.

Negotiation research spans many disciplines (Thompson 1990).
This result was later contradicted by Becker and Seligman (1996).
This effect has been widely studied (Abbott 1991; Barakat et al. 1995a, b; Kelso and Smith 1998; Medvec et al. 1999, 2000).
Reference list
The list of references should only include works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications and unpublished works should only be mentioned in the text.
Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last names of the first author of each work. Please alphabetize according to the following rules: 1) For one author, by name of author, then chronologically; 2) For two authors, by name of author, then name of coauthor, then chronologically; 3) For more than two authors, by name of first author, then chronologically.
If available, please always include DOIs as full DOI links in your reference list (e.g. “https://doi.org/abc”).
