Manuscript preparation
General remarks
To help you prepare your manuscript, Springer offers a template that can be used with
Winword 7 (Windows 95), Winword 6 and Word for Macintosh. For details see Electronic
Submission of final version.
Papers should not exceed 7 printed pages. Three manuscript pages equal approximately
one printed page. The space required for the figures and tables should be calculated on the
basis of their final printed size. All accepted manuscripts will be copy-edited.
Title page
– A concise and informative title
– Full name and surname of each author
– Affiliation(s) and address(es) of each author
– The e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author
– notes regarding sponsoring organizations
Abstract. A summary of the most important results and conclusions in no more than
250 words. The abstract must be devided intofour sections: Background, Methods, Results
and Conclusions.
Footnotes. Essential footnotes to the text should be numbered consecutively and placed
at the bottom of the page to which they refer.
Footnotes on the title page are not given reference symbols. 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).
Introduction. The Introduction should state the purpose of the investigation and give a
short review of the pertinent literature (max. one printed page).
Materials and methods The Materials and Methods section should follow the Introduction
and should provide enough information to permit repetition of the experimental work.
For particular chemicals or equipment, the name and location of the supplier should be given in parentheses.
Results. The Results section should describe the outcome of the study. Data should be pre-sented as concisely as possible, if appropriate in the form of tables or figures, although very large tables should be avoided.
Discussion. The Discussion should be an inter-pretation of the results and their significance
with reference to work by other authors.
Acknowledgements. These should be as brief as possible. Any grant that requires acknow-ledgement should be mentioned. The names of funding organizations should be written in full.
Appendices. If there is more than one appendix, they should be numbered consecutively.
Equations in appendices should be designated differently from those in the main body of the
paper, e.g. (A1), (A2) etc. In each appendix equations should be numbered separately.
References
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 should only be
mentioned in the text. Citations in the text should be identified by numbers in square brackets,and the list of references at the end of the paper should be both alphabetized under the first author’s name and numbered. References by the same author or team of authors should be listed in chronological order. Here are a few examples for the style of references:

Illustrations and Tables
All figures (photographs, graphs or diagrams) and tables should be cited in the text, and each
numbered consecutively throughout. Figure parts should be identified by lower-case roman
letters. The placement of figures and tables should be indicated in the left margin. For sub-mission of figures in electronic form see below.
Line drawings. Please submit good-quality prints. The inscriptions should be clearly legible.
Half-tone illustrations (black and white and colour). Please submit well-contrasted photo-graphic prints with the top indicated on the back. Magnification should be indicated by
scale bars.
Plates. Several figures or figure parts should be grouped in a plate on one page.
Size of figures. The figures should either match the width of the column (8.6 cm) or be 13.1 cm or 17.6 cm wide. The maximum length is 22.4 cm.
Figure legends. Figure legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the illustrations.
The legends should be placed at the end of thetext.
Tables. Tables should have a title and a legend explaining any abbreviation used in that table.
Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks
for significance values and other statisticaldata).
Colour illustrations. Colour illustrations will be accepted. However, publication will only be
free of charge to the authors if the use of colour is scientifically justified.

Preparing your manuscript
Text
The template is available:
* via ftp:
Address: ftp.springer.de/
User ID: ftp
Password: your own e-mail address
Directory: /pub/Word/journals
File names: sv-journ.zip or
sv-journ.doc and sv-journ.dot
* via browser:
ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/word/journals
File names: sv-journ.zip or sv-journ.doc
and sv-journ.dot
* via www:
– http://www.springer.de/author/index.html
The zip file should be sent uuencoded.
Layout guidelines
1. Use a normal, plain font (e.g., Times Roman)for text.
Other style options:
– for textual emphasis use italic types.
– for special purposes, such as for mathema-tical vectors, use boldface type.
2. Use the automatic page numbering functionto number the pages.
3. Do not use field functions.
4. For indents use tab stops or other commands, not the space bar.
5. Use the table functions of your word processing program, not spreadsheets, to
make tables.
6. Use the equation editor of your word proces-sing program or MathType for equations.
7. Place any figure legends or tables at the end of the manuscript.
8. Submit all figures as separate files and do not integrate them within the text.
Data formats
Save your file in two different formats:
1. RTF (Rich Text Format) or Microsoft Word compatible formats
2. pdf (a single pdf file including text, tables and figures)
Illustrations
The preferred figure formats are EPS for vector graphics exported from a drawing program and TIFF for halftone illustrations. EPS files must al-ways contain a preview in TIFF of the figure.
The file name (one file for each figure) should in-clude the figure number. Figure legends should be included in the text and not in the figure file.
• Scan resolution: Scanned line drawings should be digitized with a minimum resolution
of 800 dpi relative to the final figure size. For digital halftones, 300 dpi is usually
sufficient.
• Colour illustrations: Store color illustrations as RGB (8 bits per channel) in TIFF format.
• Vector graphics: Fonts used in the vector graphics must be included. Please do not draw with hairlines. The minimum line width is 0.2 mm (i.e., 0.567 pt) relative to the final size.
General information on data delivery
Please send your final data, preferably a zip file (text and illustrations in separate files,
uuencoded) to the Editor in Chief either:
– On a diskette [you may use .tar, .zip, .gzip (.gz), .sit, and compress (.Z)]
– On a ZIP cartridge
– On a CD-ROM
In case you have not sent electronic files of your article together with the accepted version,
you should send your data, preferably a zip file (text and illustrations in separate files, uuenco-ded) to Springer-Verlag either:
* Via ftp.springer.de (to our ftp.server; log-in “anonymous”; password: your e-mail address;
further information in the readme file on the server)
* or by e-mail (only suitable for small volumes of data)
Please always supply the following information with your data: journal title, manuscript
number, operating system, word processing program, drawing program, image processing
program, compression program. The file name should be memorable (e.g.,author name), have no more than 8 characters, and include no accents or special symbols. Use only the extensions that the program assignsautomatically.
Proofreading
Authors should make their proof corrections on a printout of the pdf file supplied, checking that the text is complete and that all figures and tables are included. After online publication,
further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the
article. The author is entitled to formal correc-tions only. Substantial changes in content, e.g.
new results, corrected values, title and author-ship are not allowed without the approval of the
responsible editor. In such a case please contact the Editorial Office or the Editor-in-Chief be-fore returning the proofs to the publisher.
Offprints, Free copy
One complimentary copy is supplied. Offprints are available at cost price, provided the order
form is returned together with the corrected page proofs. When you order offprints, you are
entitled to receive a pdf file of your article for your own personal use.
