1. Topic of the bibliography is the history of sexual violence.
2. The aim is to compile here everything that has ever been said or written on the subject. Even if it is not possible to achieve the goal, it would be just as wrong not to try it.
3. The scope of the bibliography is comprehensive:
a. All forms of sexual violence in all historical periods and regions will be considered.
b. All written and spoken forms of publication will be considered, from whatever discipline and in whatever language.
c. An evaluation of the publications does not take place here, but is the task of the scientific community and result of the academic discussion.
4. The bibliography is intended to provide an overview of what has been researched to date (and where there are still research gaps) and to facilitate access to publications.
5. For each title an information page will be created with three headings: Title Information (e.g. place and year of publication, publisher, ISBN/ISSN), Full-Text (links to text, audio or video files if available), and Additional Information (e.g. links to author oder speaker websites, abstracts, tables of contents, information on reviews, links to Wikipedia articles).
