Article Introduction
Each article should contain the following at the beginning:
Title: Subtitle
Name of the author (if there is more than one author, please separate names with a line, no space between line and name.)
Contact information for authors (affiliation, email, website)
Abstract of no more than 200 words

Formatting and template
We only accept contributions in MS Word, RTF, or plain text. No PDF, please. Authors are encouraged to use the Word template provided (if you do not use MS Word 2000 or later, please follow the instructions contained in this PDF template).
Articles should be single spaced throughout. Leave one line space between paragaphs. Do not use tabs or spaces to indent new paragraphs. Please avoid inserting empty paragraphs to format page layout, etc. Do not insert empty lines after section headings.
Structure
Your contribution should be structured following the numerical system which means 1. or 1.1. or 1.1.1 [...].Only subchapters up to the third level are accepted (hence no 1.2.3.1).
Endnotes
Please use numbered endnotes rather than footnotes.
Figures, Tables, Images
All figures, tables and images should appear in the article and should be captioned and numbered (consecutively throughout the article rather than according to chapters or subchapters).
Quotations and References in the Text
Short quotations should appear in the main text in single quotation marks. Where the author's name is given in brackets do not use commas between author and date. For example:
According to Fowler (1991: 25), 'representation, in the press as in all other kinds of media and discourse, is a constructive practice'.
OR
Metaphors are ideological in so far as they 'can contribute to a situation where they privilege one understanding of reality over others' (Chilton 1996: 74).
Quotations longer than 3 lines should be indented in the text without quotation marks.
References to multiple works should appear as follows:
Racism and ethnic inequality have been a staple focus of CDA (van Dijk 1987, 1991, 1993; Wodak 1996).
References
References appear at the end of the article and should be ordered alphabetically. If you have more than one reference to the same author(s), please list them chronologically (where necessary using YEARa, YEARb etc.).
