\section{General Formatting Instructions}
Please follow the instructions given below when preparing your contribution. This template is self-contained. Therefore, please keep the number of included further packages or formatting rules beyond those offered in our supplied style as low as possible.
\subsection{Length}
The anticipated length of the paper is 3–5 pages maximum length, including the abstract, figures, and references.
\subsection{Language}
Your manuscript must be prepared in British English using Oxford spelling. Please visit \url{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford_spelling} for further information. The use of Oxford commas is encouraged. Further, we ask you to make use of en dashes (written as \verb|--|) to separate logical sections of your sentences in cases when commas or parentheses are no suitable options. Note that en dashes shall be surrounded by whitespace.
\subsection{Sections and Subsections}
Headings must be capitalized. Further, the hierarchical structure of your manuscript should not exceed two levels, \ie, the maximum depth you should use is subsections. If you need additional structuring, please use titled paragraphs as outlined below:
\paragraph{First Paragraph.} This is an exemplary titled paragraph to show how the commands work. Paragraphs allow you to structure your text if necessary.
\paragraph{Second Paragraph.} This is another exemplary titled paragraph to show how the commands work. Paragraphs allow you to structure your text if necessary.
\subsection{Abbreviations}
Please use abbreviations wherever appropriate, in particular, for ‘that is’ and ‘for example’. We offer pre-defined shortcuts for ‘that is’ (\verb|\ie|) and for ‘for example’ (\verb|\eg|). In case you might want to begin a sentence with one of those (or comparable) words, please refrain from using abbreviations.
\subsection{Foot and Endnotes}
You can add endnotes by using the \verb|\endnote| command\endnote{This is an endnote.}. Footnotes are not permitted and will be rendered as endnotes.
\subsection{Mathematical Symbols}
Mathematical symbols can be written in inline mode, like $x_i = 3$, or as a separated one-line equation:
\[\alpha = \sum_i x_i^2.\]
Please embed your formula in an \verb|equation| environment in case you want to enumerate and cross-reference your equations:
\begin{equation}
\alpha = \sum_i x_i^2.
\end{equation}
\section{Figures}
All artwork must be centred (using the \verb|\centering| command), clean and legible. Do not use hand-drawn artwork. Numbering and caption shall always appear after each figure.
Use the \verb|\ref| command to cross-reference figures in your text (and also tables, see below). Again, similar to citations, please insert a tilde character (\verb|~|) in front of your reference. For example, \verb|Figure~\ref{fig:sample}| would be appropriate to reference Figure~\ref{fig:sample} in this document.
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{images/tu-dortmund.jpg}
\caption{{\bfseries Canteen of TU Dortmund University.} Figures can be used to illustrate the information provided in the text. Figures and their captions need to be self-explanatory, \ie, it must be possible to interpret them without further reading of the text. The caption title needs to be formatted in bold face. (Roland Baege/TU Dortmund)\label{fig:sample}}
\end{figure}
\section{Tables}
All tables must be centred (using the \verb|\centering| command). Please use the \verb|booktabs| package, which is preloaded already when using our template -- have a look at the example below to understand the commands. Do not use hand-drawn tables. Numbering and caption shall always appear ahead of the respective table.
\begin{table}[t]
\caption{{\bfseries Sample table.} The caption of the table needs to follow the same rules as a caption of a figure. The sample table illustrates how to use the booktabs package.}

\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\section{References}
Please format your references in BibTeX and add them to the file {\tt references.bib}. Cite references in your text by using either \verb|\citep|, \verb|\citet|, or other appropriate commands offered by the \verb|natbib| package. Make sure that inline citations are preceded by a protected space. Protected space can be inserted through a tilde (\verb|~|) in front of citation commands:\\[.6em]
\verb|... text~\citep{westerholt2018a}| \hfill results in \hfill \dots text~\citep{westerholt2018a}\\[.6em]
This will prevent the typesetting of dangling citations leading new lines of text. You do not have to insert a tilde if you want to start a sentence with a citation:\\[.6em]
\verb|\Citet{mocnik2022b} argues that ...| \hfill results in \hfill \Citet{mocnik2022b} argues that \dots\\[.6em]
Please check out the following resource for more information on how to cite appropriately using the \verb|natbib| package: \url{http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/natnotes.pdf}.
