Manuscript preparation
Manuscripts must be written in English and typed in double-line spacing with 3-cm margins; pages and lines should be numbered using the automatic numbering function. Authors whose first language is not English are urged to have their manuscript read by a colleague who is a native English speaker and is familiar with their field of work before submitting the paper.
Please arrange your manuscript as follows:
Title page (including name(s) of author(s), a concise and informative title, affiliation(s) and address(es) of the author(s), e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the corresponding author.)
Abstract (less than 250 words for a full paper, and less than 100 words for a short communication.)
Up to six keywords
Text of the paper divided into the following sections, if appropriate: Introduction; Materials and methods; Results; Discussion; Acknowledgments; References; tables; figure legends
Abbreviations should be defined at first mention in the abstract and again in the main body of the text and used consistently thereafter.
References
The list of References should include only works that are cited in the text and that have been published or accepted for publication. Personal communications should be mentioned only in the text.
In the text, references should be cited by author and year (Hammer 1994; Hammer and Sjöqvist 1995; Hammer et al. 1993) and listed in alphabetical order in the reference list. References with correct punctuation should be styled as follows:

Tables and figures
Tables must be numbered consecutively with arabic numerals. They should have a title explaining any abbreviation used in that table. Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lowercase letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data).
Illustrations must be restricted to the minimum needed to clarify the text. All figures (photographs, graphs, or diagrams) should be cited in the text and numbered consecutively throughout. Figure parts should be identified by lowercase roman letters (a, b, etc.). If illustrations are supplied with uppercase labeling, lowercase letters will still be used in the figure legends and citations.
Figure legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the illustrations. The legends should be placed at the end of the text.
Line drawings. Inscriptions should be legible, with initial uppercase letters and appropriately scaled to the size of the drawing. Scanned line drawings should be digitized with a resolution of 800 dpi relative to the final figure size.
Halftone illustrations (black and white and color). Magnification should be indicated by scale bars. For scanned halftone illustrations, a resolution of 300 dpi is usually sufficient.
Color figures will always be published in color in the online version. In print, however, they will appear in color only if the author agrees to make a contribution of EUR 950 (plus VAT) per article to printing costs. Otherwise the figures will be printed in black and white. Please note that, in such cases, it is the author’s responsibility to prepare figures to be illustrative enough to convey the necessary information even after they are converted into black and white. Save color illustrations as RGB (8 bits per channel) in TIFF format.
Size of figures. The figures, including legends, should match either the column width (84 mm) or the print area of 174 × 234 mm. The publisher reserves the right to reduce or enlarge illustrations.
The manuscripts and the figures will not normally be returned, unless specifically requested by the authors.
Manuscripts in electronic form
After acceptance of the manuscript, the publisher requires figure files prepared following these instructions　and the Technical Instructions for Manuscripts and Illustrations in Electronic Form.
Submit all figures as separate files and do not integrate them within the text. The preferred figure formats are EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) for vector graphics exported from a drawing program and TIFF for halftone illustrations. EPS files must always contain a preview in TIFF of the figure. Microsoft PowerPoint files and illustrations embedded in Microsoft Word documents are not acceptable. The file name should include the figure number.
Note: Almost all common graphic programs are capable of saving files in EPS and in TIFF format. This option can normally be found under the “Save As…�or “Export…�commands in the “File�menu.
Electronic Supplementary Material
Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM) for a paper will be published in the electronic edition of this journal provided the material is:
submitted in electronic form together with the manuscript accepted after peer review
ESM may consist of:
information that cannot be printed: animations, video clips, sound recordings (use QuickTime, .avi, .mpeg, animated GIFs, or any other common file format); information that is more convenient in electronic form: sequences, spectral data, etc.; large quantities of original data that relate to the article, e.g., additional tables, large numbers of illustrations (color and black & white), etc.
Legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the ESM. ESM is to be numbered and referred to as S1, S2, etc.
After acceptance for publication, ESM will be published as received from the author in the online version only. Reference will be given in the printed version.
After acceptance
Upon acceptance of your article you will receive a link to the special Author Query Application at Springer’s web page where you can sign the CopyrightTransfer Statement online and indicate whether you wish to order OpenChoice, offprints, or printing of figures in color. Once the Author Query Application has been completed, your article will be processed and you will receive the proofs.
Open Choice
In addition to the normal publication process (whereby an article is submitted to the journal and access to that article is granted to customers who have purchased a subscription), Springer provides an alternative publishing option: Springer Open Choice. A Springer Open Choice article receives all the benefits of a regular subscription-based article, but in addition is made available publicly through Springer’s online platform SpringerLink. We regret that Springer Open Choice cannot be ordered for published articles.
Copyright transfer
Authors will be asked to transfer copyright of the article to the Publisher (or grant the Publisher exclusive publication and dissemination rights). This will ensure the widest possible protection and dissemination of information under copyright laws. Open Choice articles do not require transfer of copyright as the copyright remains with the author. In opting for open access, they agree to the Springer Open Choice Licence.
Offprints
Offprints can be ordered by the corresponding author. A one-year subscription to the electronic edition is provided free of charge to the corresponding author of each contribution.
Color illustrations
Online publication of color illustrations is free of charge. For color in the print version, authors will be expected to make a contribution towards the extra costs.
Proof reading
The purpose of the proof is to check for typesetting or conversion errors and the completeness and accuracy of the text, tables and figures. Substantial changes in content, e.g., new results, corrected values, title and authorship, are not allowed without the approval of the Editor. After online publication, further changes can only be made in the form of an Erratum, which will be hyperlinked to the article.
Online First
The article will be published online after receipt of the corrected proofs. This is the official first publication citable with the DOI. After release of the printed version, the paper can also be cited by issue and page numbers.
