3. Abbreviations: Please avoid as much as possible. Sets of initials (NATO, USA, DGB, SPD etc) should have no full stops between them.

4. Dates: should be given as: day month year, without punctuation: 13 August 1961.

6. Punctuation: Use double quotation marks for all quotations, except single marks for a quotation within a quotation.

When the end of a quotation coincides with the end of a sentence, the full stop should be before the quotation mark, unless the quotation is a single word or phrase not itself requiring a full stop.

7. Translations: When mentioning German or other non-English organizations, the name should be translated into English but the local abbreviation should be used, in parentheses after its first appearance (possibly alongside the full German name) and in the text subsequently: the German trade union federation (Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund, DGB), or Socialist Unity Party (SED).

8. General formatting: Please keep to a minimum, avoiding any indents, rules or other fancy elements that are not strictly necessary. They will only be stripped out again for page formatting, and make extra work for the editors. NEVER use underlines or bold for emphasis, always italics.
