| ==General Information for Commentary Articles==
| |
| The '''GDPRhub''' '''Commentary''' features relatively short analysis regarding a GDPR Article. Commentaries should not exceed 5000 words total (including abstract, main text, references and figure legends). They should have an abstract of 50 words or less ("Overview"), no more than 35 references, and one or two figures (with figure legends) or tables.

| ==Writing your Commentary Article==
| |
| | |
| ===Overview===
| |
| Commentary begins with an introductory paragraph that immediately presents the issues under discussion in a way that captures the reader's interest. The Overview should be general enough to orient the reader not familiar with the specifics of the field being discussed. Here, and throughout the article, the author should avoid the jargon and special terms of his or her field or system.
| |
| | |
| ===Body of the text===
| |
| The body of the text should, in the limited space available, develop the discussion in a lively manner. By "lively" we don't mean hype and oversimplification. Rather, the editors seek clear, declarative writing that avoids the passive tense, tangled constructions, and needless detail. Avoid asides that interrupt the flow of the text.

| ===Citation Style===
| |
| We quote the ''author'', the ''editor'' (if applicable) the title, the edition, date or year and the reference used by the book (e.g. reference number or page). Mind that there are often multiple books that are called “General Data Protection Regulation” and alike or that these books may be published in the 10<sup>th</sup> edition, so we have to make sure that we provide a clear reference.
| |
| | |
| *''Books'' --> name(s) of author(s), year in brackets, full title, edition, publishers, place of publication, page number. Where there are two authors, both should be named; with three or more only the first author's name plus "et al." need be given. The list at the end of the paper should include only works mentioned in the text and should be arranged alphabetically by name of first author:
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Example: Maizels N, Weiner AM (1993) The genomic tag hypothesis: modern viruses as fossils of ancient strategies for genomic replication. In: Gesteland RF, Atkins JF (eds) The RNA world. Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, New York, pp. 577 -- 602Li W - (1997) Molecular evolution. Sinauer Assosiates, Sunderland, MA</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| *''Journal papers'' --> name(s) of author(s), year in brackets, full title, full name of the journal, volume number, first and last page numbers. In case there are three or more authors, the above stays valid:
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Example: Quiring R, Walldorf U, Koter U, Gehring WJ (1994) Homology of the eyeless gene of Drosophila to the small eye gene in mice and aniridia in humans. Science 265:785</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| *''EDPB/DPAs guidelines, opinions'' --> name of the authority (EDPB, CNIL, etc.), title, date, page number
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Example: EDPB, Guidelines 05/2020 on consent under Regulation 2016/679, 4 May 2020, p. 12.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| *''EDPB, DPA, Court decisions'' --> name of the authority, case number, date and link to the GDPRhub summary (if available) [if not available, link to the official decision or reference to the book or journal that features the decision]
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Example: </blockquote>Please, <u>do not</u> use op. cit., ibid., 3-m dashes, en dashes, or et al. (in place of the complete list of authors' names). Never.
