Instruction to Authors

Papers should be written in English, should be of a maximum length of 15 pages (minimum 10) with an abstract of maximum 150 words and a list of references of maximum 2 pages, and should be submitted electronically to segreteria.giordanoeditore@gmail.com.

The file of the submitted paper should be sent jointly with this cover letter where you should indicate maximum two areas of interest of the paper.

Submission of a manuscript is considered to be a representation that it has been neither copyrighted (or if copyrighted is clearly marked so that the appropriate permission can be obtained) nor published, that it is not being submitted for publication elsewhere, and that, if the work results from a military contract, it has been released for open publication.

The articles transmitted for publication on the site must be processed as the following template.
The review process will be managed through the Giordano Editore Platform to which the articles will be sent by the authors.
The articles will be subjected to the following procedures:

  • The Publisher will send the articles to the relevant Editors who will have 7 days to identify the two subjects in charge of the referral to which they will send the article.
  • The first reference work must be completed within 30 days if it is accepted.
  • If subjected to “minor revisions” the article must be completed within 20 days, whereas if it is a "major revision" within 60 days.
  • If the competent Editor deems it necessary to revisit the article altogether, he informs the Publisher by requesting in derogation a time that he considers necessary for the revision work which can’t exceed 150 days.
  • After this deadline the article, if it doesn’t reach the accepted Publisher, is considered rejected.

Referencing

References follow the Harvard style and should include the doi whenever present.

  • Citations in the text comprise the author's surname and the year of publication, e.g.: (Jansson, 1980),(Marguier and Ceder, 1984).
