Abstract

Begin each chapter with an abstract that summarizes the content of the chapter in no more than 200 words. The abstract will appear on SpringerLink and be available with unrestricted access to facilitate online searching (e.g. Google) and allow unregistered users to read the abstract as a teaser for the complete chapter.

If no abstract is submitted, we will use the first paragraph of the chapter instead.

Acknowledgments

You as the author are free to decide whether to include acknowledgments or not. Usually, the acknowledgments section includes the names of people who in some way contributed to the work, but do not fit the criteria to be listed as the authors. This section of your manuscript can also include information about funding sources.

Figures and Figure Captions

Make sure you place figures in the manuscript in the exact position you want them to appear. If you are submitting figures as separate files, make sure you indicate the position of figures in the manuscript. When submitting multiple files, compress them into a .zip file.

Figures must be in high resolution, which is suitable for reproduction and print. High resolution starts at 300 DPI for .JPEG and .TIFF formats. EPS formatted files are also acceptable. Color figures are welcome.

Place figures as close as possible to the first reference to them in the manuscript. When referring to a figure in the body of the text, the word “Figure” is used. Figures must appear one below the other (they should not be placed parallel next to each other) and must be numbered with main numbers (Figure 1., Figure 2., etc., do not number the figures Figure 1.1., Figure 1.2., etc.)

Submitting tables in image formats (e.g. .jpeg, .tiff) is NOT acceptable. If you are submitting tables as separate files, make sure you indicate the position of tables in the manuscript. Place tables as close as possible to the first reference to them in the manuscript. When referring to a table in the manuscript, no abbreviation is used, e.g. “Table”.
