Author Guidelines

Guidelines for authors

The publishers do not intend to limit the number of characters. For the layout of the manuscripts submitted, please use the format template and the formatting instructions. These also inform about citation and the layout of the bibliography.

Current information on the submission procedure

Currently, an error message appears when submitting a contribution. We are working on a removal of the error message, but please note the contribution will still be forwarded to the editors, so the error message should not be interpreted as a failure of the submission process.

Note on graphic formats

Image files and graphics must always be included separately with the digital manuscripts (preferably as vector graphics in .EPS, .PDF etc., or, if not otherwise available, as raster graphics e.g. as .JPG or .TIF in sufficient resolution). Please send original files or PDF exports of the graphics to the editorial department during the production process. Authors are responsible for ascertainment of image rights.

Peer Review

In order to do justice to the experimental character of the essays and the openness of the discourse, the editors have largely dispensed with a classic review of the contributions. The criticism and the development of the ideas expressed in the essays are primarily achieved through lively and multi-perspective participation in the discourse in the formats of replica and re-replica. The editors will fundamentally review the submitted contributions, which we understand as an open 'peer preview' process. The review of the content of the contribution is intended to give the authors advice on how to optimise the contribution from the editors’ point of view, but is not a binding requirement for revision. Feedback to the authors is based on the following criteria:

  1. The essay refers to a date provided by the journal date & discourse.
  2. The essay argues logically consistently on the basis of a proven question.
  3. The essay reveals its methodological and theoretical standpoint.
  4. The essay follows the rules of good scientific practice.

Essays

Die Zeitschrift datum & diskurs versteht sich als diskursiver Raum und als Forum für die wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung im Feld der empirischen Schul- und Unterrichtsforschung. Regelmäßig stellen die Herausgeber*innen ein Datum (z.B. ein ethnographisches Protokoll, ein Transkript, eine Tagebuchaufzeichnung, ein Bild, einen Film) zur Verfügung und verbinden damit die Einladung, gegenstands- bzw. grundlagentheoretische, methodologische oder methodische Perspektiven auf das Datum einzunehmen.

Für datum & diskurs haben wir als Beitragsform das Format des „Essays“ gewählt. Essays können als Einlassungen auf ein Datum oder als Reaktionen bzw. (Re-)Repliken auf andere Essays verfasst werden. Im Vergleich zu anderen Formaten wissenschaftlichen Schreibens kommt einem Essay deutlicher der Charakter des Versuchs zu; durch solche Beiträge soll die Zeitschrift der Deutungsoffenheit des diskursstiftenden Datums entsprechen. In den Essays muss das Datum nicht vollständig bearbeitet werden; „steinbruchartige“ Auseinandersetzungen mit bestimmten Aspekten des zumeist umfangreichen Datums sind zulässig. Im Rahmen der eigenen Bearbeitung ist es zudem möglich, ergänzend auf komparative oder kontrastierende Daten zurückzugreifen und so als Kontexte für den weiteren Diskurs zur Verfügung zu stellen.
