FAQ

  • What to keep in mind when publishing with FMP

    Our magazine bridges the gap between the daily press and academic publications. Through contributions by high-profile practitioners and theorists from politics, business, civil society, science and the arts, we aim to initiate constructive and productive discussions that go beyond the day-to-day of politics, provide transformational impetus, and shape politics.

    We strive to publish a broad spectrum of opinions and analyses. In doing so, our editorial values apply: ideological neutrality, methodological openness and the courage to engage in respectful and argument-based debate.

    FMP is not an academic journal. All essays should have a length of about 10,000 characters, be of use to practioners, and remain accessible to non-specialist audiences.

  • Styleguide

    FMP applies the following formal and stylistic criteria to its essays and other articles:

    • All contributions are written in a clear and engaging manner, in German or English.
    • Good essays make their argument explicit in their opening lines. Clear and controversial theses are welcome!
    • Most readers will not have imdepth expertise on technical details. Contributions should therefore contain as little jargon as possible.
    • Authors are encouraged to structure their essays with subheadings.
    • The target length of essays is 10,000 characters, other types of contributions are limited to 5,000 characters.
    • We ask for sources and references in the form of hyperlinks instead of footnotes or bibliographies.
    • FMP reserves the right to shorten and edit articles if necessary.

     

  • Plagiarism and Sourcing

    Plagiarism is unaccaptable and will lead to blacklisting. This includes both unattributed quotes and stolen ideas.

    Authors are encouraged to support direct and indirect quotations as well as other verifiable statements with hyperlinks within the text.
