History
[edit]The journal was edited by Hartwig Altenmueller and Dietrich Wildung from 1974 to 1993.[1] From 1994 to 2010, the journal was edited by Hartwig Altenmueller and Nicole Kloth.[1] Since 2010 it has been edited by Jochem Kahl (Berlin) and Nicole Kloth (Heidelberg).[1]
Use of Crocodile Hieroglyph
[edit]
The first volume appeared in 1974, with a set of guidelines appearing under a stylised representation of the s3k crocodile hieroglyph sketched by Wildung.[1] This choice of name and logo was a pun on the ancient Egyptian word sꜣk /ˈsɑːk/, which means "to pull together."[2] In the forward of the first volume, the editors state that the crocodile is not there as a warning to authors, rather signalling the intent of the editors to bring together articles and create a tool for communication in the discipline.[3]
