Submissions

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.

• La submission non è stata precedentemente pubblicata, né proposta a un'altra rivista (oppure si fornisce una spiegazione all'editor nei commenti).
• Il file di submission è in un formato OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, RTF, o WordPerfect.

• Il testo aderisce alle richieste stilistiche e bibliografiche riassunte nelle linee guida dell'autore, che si trova nella pagina di informazioni sulla rivista.

  Tutte le illustrazioni, figure, e tabelle sono posizionate all'interno del testo nei punti appropriati, piuttosto che alla fine.

• Se si sta facendo la submission a una sezione peer-reviewed della rivista, assicurarsi di aver seguito i passi necessari per assicurare una peer review cieca:

  • Cancellare il proprio nome dal testo del file (corpo del testo, bibliografia, note ecc.) utilizzando al suo posto stringhe varie ,
  • Rimuovere gli elementi di identificazione presenti nelle Proprietà del file.
