German term or phrase: Anmerkung des Verfassers
Hallo, ich schreibe gerade meine Diplomarbeit (englisch).
Beispiel fuer die Verwendung des Ausdrucks:

“Another term that is frequently being used is valuebased management (VBM), a term which describes a management philosophy based on managing a firm with EVC [Economic Value Creation, Anmerkung des Verfassers] principles.” (Armitage and Jog 1996)

Gibt es fuer den englischen Ausdruck auch eine entsprechende Abkuerzung (wie Anm. d. Verf.)? Wie wird der Ausdruck im Englischen ueblicherweise verwendet?
Wie im Deutschen, also [Economic Value Creation, Anm. d. Verf.]_

neutral  Steffen Walter: The ed(itor) need not necessarily be the author. / I beg to differ - what else should the Verfasser be? Depending on context, an editor can be a Herausgeber or Redakteur but never a Verfasser in my opinion.
