Articles submitted are screened before they are sent to a referee. The screening may lead to suggestions for changes. Such suggestions will make acceptance more likely. There is no guarantee that the article is ultimately accepted.

Non-native speakers of English, German, French, Spanish, Italian (the Journal languages) should have a critical native speaker to go over their manuscript before submission.

Each author will receive one issue of the journal for free.

Authors are invited to consider the following general guidelines:

A. General style

1. Articles should be about 6,000-9,000 words.
2. Book reviews should not exceed 1500 words.
3. Articles should be submitted in MS Word format. When approved, authors will be asked to send their paper transformed in PDF format. This is a safety valve that prohibits the loss of eventual special characters and/or non-Latin words contained in the paper.
4. The article must start with the title in bold, 12 pt, aligned in the centre. Use one paragraph break and then write the author(s) name(s) and affiliation. Font size: 10 pt, aligned in the centre.
5. An abstract in English of approximately 200 words should be included after the name(s) of the author(s). Font size: 9 pt. Allignment: full. Do not indent.
6. Use a single paragraph break between the name(s)of the author(s) and the abstract and a double paragraph break between the abstract and the main body of the contribution.
7. Headings within the text must be numbered with Arabic numbers (1, 2 etc.). They must be in bold. Subheadings should be in italics and numbered as follows (1.1, 1.2,…2.1, 2.2,..etc.). Leave one paragraph break between the heading and the text. Use double paragraph break between the text and the subheading and then a single paragraph break between the subheading and the text that follows.
8. Notes at the bottom of the page, numbered consecutively in Arabic numbers. Do not use notes for bibliographical references. From the menu ‘Insert’ choose the command ‘Notes’.
9. Diagrams and/or figures must be included within the main body of the text.
10. At the end of the paper and before bibliography leave a double paragraph break and write the author(s) name(s), affiliation and e-mail address. Font size 10 pt, italics, right alignment.
11. At the end of the Bibliography leave a double paragraph break and write a short bio-sketch of about 90 words.

B. Bibliography

Bibliography at the end of the text. Use a triple paragraph break after the text, then write BIBLIOGRAPHY (capital letters, bold, 12 pt, space after: 6 pt), and then the works cited in alphabetical order of the author's name. The bibliography must comprise only the works cited in the text. The usages contained in the following examples should be followed as appropriate:
