Italics:

— for titles of books, magazines, and journals

— for foreign words or phrases

— for emphasis. Indicate emphasis by italics only. No underlining, no bold-face!

Foreign language terms and phrases

— When you supply a term in the original language within a translated quotation, the term should be italicized and placed within square brackets, [].

Example: “To sublate [Aufheben] and the sublated (the ideal) is one of the most important concepts of philosophy”.

— When you supply a term in the original language outside a quotation the term should be italicized and placed within parentheses, ().

Example: Hegel characterizes sublation (Aufhebung) as one of philosophy’s most important concepts.

Formatting and Use of Graphics

— Formatting should be kept to an absolute minimum! Do not use spaces and tab stops for the layout.

— Graphics should be used sparingly and only in a simple form.

— If possible, please include technical notes on how the graphic was generated: this will make it easier for us to integrate the graphic into the file.

No Contractions (for example, “won’t”)!

Quotations

Double quotes for (1) titles of essays, journal-articles, poems, etc. (i.e. for all titles except monographs), and (2) for direct quotations of sentences, phrases, or words.

Example (1): The idea of totality is central to Müller’s paper “Hegel’s Concept of the Whole”.

Example (2): (a) As Hegel famously says, “The true is the whole.” (b) Hegel’s term “sublation” has a threefold meaning.

Single quotes for quotes within quotes.

Example: “The general procedure in the Logic is to test whether different ‘logical determinations’ might succeed as ‘definitions of the absolute’ (EL § 85).”

Block quotations for quotations longer than three lines; they should be left-justified.

The source of a block quotation may be given in parentheses after the final punctuation mark of the quoted material.

Ellipses in square brackets mark omissions from quoted passages. Do not mark omissions at the beginning or end of a quotation.

Example: “The complete, true result is […] becoming.”

Punctuation

Periods, commas, and other punctuation marks that belong to the quoted matter precede the closing quotation mark.

Example: This is what Hegel means when he states that “the true is the whole.”

Periods, commas, and other punctuation marks that do not belong to the quoted matter come after the closing quotation mark.

Example: What does Hegel mean by the statement, “The true is the whole”?

Footnotes and References

Please give preference to widely accessible, internationally recognized, scholarly editions, and if possible to historical-critical editions (in the case of Hegel, for example, Gesammelte Werke, Hamburg 1968ff.), and ensure that all quotations and references are complete and accurate as these can no longer be reviewed by the editors of the Hegel-Jahrbuch/Hegel Yearbook

Footnote numbers come after the punctuation mark. Please always use your word-processing software’s integrated footnote function!

Example: In the Logic, Hegel discusses the meaning of the term “sublation”.3

Footnotes always end with a period, even when they contain nothing more than a page reference.

Page references should be given in footnotes as page numbers without a preceding “p.”.

Use the en dash (–), not the hyphen (-), for page spans and spans of time.

When the quoted text goes from one page to the next, use this form: 200 f. (pagenumber, than space before f.).

Behind a paragraph-symbol set space (§ 35).

List no more than three places of publication, separated by a forward slash (“/”). In case of more than three places of publication, indicate the fact by using “et al.”.

Bibliographic references should include the place of publication only. Do not include the publisher’s name.

— Single-Author Books

Author’s first name (abbreviated if necessary, with no spaces between the ini-tials), author’s last name, book title in italics, place of publication, year of publication, page (s) [without "p".]

Example: G.W.F. Hegel, Phenomenology of Spirit, Hamburg 1988, 204–224.

— Multi-Author Books

Author’s first name (abbreviated if necessary, with no spaces between the initials), author’s last name, book title in italics, place of publication, year of publication, page(s) [without "p".]

Example: Andreas Arndt, Walter Jaeschke, Die Klassische Deutsche Philosophie nach Kant: Systeme der reinen Vernunft und ihre Kritik (1785–1845), Munich 2012, 25.

Note: For multi-author books with more than two authors, provide the first two authors’ full names, followed by “et al.”.

— Edited or Translated Books

As for authored books, but with additional reference to the editor or translator
