Note: Papers must be as concise as possible. If they are too long they will be returned for shortening.
Conditions
All manuscripts are subject to editorial review. Manuscripts are received with the explicit understanding that they are not under simultaneous consideration by any other publication. Submission of an article for publication implies the transfer of the copyright from the author to the publisher upon acceptance. Accepted papers become the permanent property of ‘Phonetica’ and may not be reproduced by any means, in whole or in part, without the written consent of the publisher. It is the author's responsibility to obtain permission to reproduce illustrations, tables, etc. from other publications.
Conflicts of Interest
Authors are required to disclose any sponsorship or funding arrangements relating to their research and all authors should disclose any possible conflicts of interest. Conflict of interest statements will be published at the end of the article.
Arrangement
Please arrange your manuscript in font size 12, double-spaced, left-adjusted and with numbered manuscript pages.
Title page: The first page of each paper should indicate the title, the authors’ names, the institute where the work was conducted, and a short title for use as running head.
NB: Authors wishing to preserve the phonetic meaning of diacritics (PubMed reduces diacritics to their root characters) must spell their names accordingly when submitting manuscripts (e.g. Müller should be Mueller).
Full address: The exact postal address of the corresponding author complete with postal code must be given at the bottom of the title page. Please also supply phone and fax numbers, as well as e-mail address.
Abstract: Each paper needs an abstract of up to 10 lines.
Footnotes: Avoid footnotes.
Tables and illustrations: Tables and illustrations (both numbered in Arabic numerals) should be prepared on separate pages. Tables require headings, figures legends; all table headings are collectively listed on a separate page, and likewise all figure legends. The tables, and the two lists of headings and legends are appended to the text file. Figures are not to be included in the text but submitted in separate files for each figure. B/w half-tone and color illustrations must have a final resolution of 300 dpi after scaling, line drawings one of 800–1,200 dpi.
Color Illustrations

Print edition: Up to 6 color illustrations per page can be integrated within the text at CHF 760.00 per page.

Supplementary Material
Supplementary material is restricted to additional information which is directly pertinent to the content and conclusion of the paper. Please note that all supplementary files will undergo editorial review and should be submitted together with the original manuscript. The editors reserve the right to reject or limit the scope and length of supplementary material. Supplementary material must meet production quality standards for web publication without the need for any modification or editing. In general, supplementary files should not exceed 10 MB in size. Acceptable file formats are word or pdf, excel spreadsheets (only if the data cannot be converted properly to a pdf file), video files (.mov, .avi, .mpeg), and audio files (.wav), either free standing or incorporated into html or ppt files, in each case to illustrate the sound of speech.

Digital Object Identifier (DOI)
S. Karger Publishers supports DOIs as unique identifiers for articles. A DOI number will be printed on the title page of each article. DOIs can be useful in the future for identifying and citing articles published online without volume or issue information. More information can be found at www.doi.org
Author's ChoiceTM
Karger's Author's ChoiceTM service broadens the reach of your article and gives all users worldwide free and full access for reading, downloading and printing at www.Karger.com. The option is available for a one-time fee of CHF 2,750.00, which is a permissible cost in grant allocation. More information can be found at www.karger.com/authors_choice.
NIH-Funded Research
The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) mandates under the NIH Public Access Policy that final, peer-reviewed manuscripts appear in its digital database within 12 months of the official publication date. As a service to authors, Karger submits the final version of your article on your behalf to PubMed Central. For those selecting our premium Author's ChoiceTM service, we will send your article immediately upon publishing, accelerating the accessibility of your work without the usual embargo. More details on NIH's Public Access Policy is available here.
Self-Archiving
Karger permits authors to archive their pre-prints (i.e. pre-refereeing) or post-prints (i.e. final draft post-refereeing) on their personal or institution's servers, provided the following conditions are met: Articles may not be used for commercial purposes, must be linked to the publisher's version, and must acknowledge the publisher's copyright. Authors selecting Karger's Author's ChoiceTM feature, however, are also permitted to archive the final, published version of their article, which includes copyediting and design improvements as well as citation links.
Proofs
Unless indicated otherwise, proofs are sent to the first-named author and should be returned with the least possible delay. Alterations made in proofs, other than the correction of printer's errors, are charged to the author. No page proofs are supplied.
Reprints
The senior author will receive 50 reprints free of charge. For additional reprints, order forms and a price list are sent with the proofs. Orders submitted after the issue is printed are subject to considerably higher prices.
