Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in “Comments for the Editor”).
  • The author is aware of the policies of the journal, particularly the reviewing process and the Code of Conduct.
  • The submission file is in Microsoft Word (.docx).
  • If submitting to a peer-reviewed section of the journal, the full-text of the submission is anonymized, including the file properties (see instructions).
  • The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than bold or underlining; and all illustrations, figures, tables and captions are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines, which is found in About the Journal.
  • The author is committed, under his own responsibility, to obtain the release of the copyrighted images and to provide, in case it becomes necessary, a written declaration of release to the Editor of the journal. The author relieves the journal from any liability in the event of a dispute.
  • Please indicate the call for papers for which you are submitting the proposal.

Author Guidelines

The journal only accepts full contributions (30,000/40,000 characters, including footnotes and spaces) sent according to the terms below. The editors of each issue will evaluate the contributions and select those that will go to the double-blind peer-review process. Editorial staff will notify the authors of the outcome of the evaluation.

Authors must submit their articles via the journal’s platform using a 5-step proposal submission process.

The file containing the proposal text must not display author's name appearing below the title, in the notes, or in the bibliographic references (where it will be replaced with ***). The name of the author should not be made explicit in any way. References that would allow the author himself or herself to be traced should also be excluded, otherwise the proposal will not be considered. Moreover, file properties must be devoid of names or other personal details, using the anonymization functions provided by various word processing programs (see instructions on how to Ensure Double-Blind Review for more information).

The anonymized contribution file must be uploaded during step 2 of the submission process. The text must conform to the formatting guidelines.

Metadata entry will occur during step 3 of the process and must include the following information:

  1. For each author: first name and last name, email, ORCiD identifier (if available), institutional affiliation, country, and a brief biography (maximum 1000 characters, including spaces);
  2. Title;
  3. Abstract (maximum 1500 characters, including spaces);
  4. Five keywords separated by semicolons;

Contributions can be written in Italian, English, and French. When submitting a contribution in Italian or French, the title and abstract must also be provided in English using the "Language of Forms" function on the platform.

Proposals submitted through other methods will not be considered.
