Submission Preparation Checklist

All submissions must meet the following requirements.

  • The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
  • The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
  • Where available, URLs for the references have been provided.
  • The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
  • Uses a 12-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
  • Use the provided layout.

Author Guidelines

When submitting a manuscript, the standardization criteria in the files available on the Journal’s website must be considered. In addition, the authors must:

  • Maintain anonymity, including possible references that should be suppressed;
  • Orthography should be consistent with a standard variety of English;
  • Send the manuscript containing up to 8.000 words;
  • Non-English terms and quotes should be translated;
  • Translate the abstract and the keywords into a second language;
  • Include an abstract (approximately 300 words) and 5 keywords;
  • Emphasised words should be italicized;
  • “Double quotation” marks should be used for quotes. Single quotation marks should be used for “a ‘quote’ within a quote”;
  • Notes should be given in the form of footnotes, not endnotes;
  • Book titles should be italicized. Use double quotation marks for “papers” and “book chapters”.
  • Avoid using “Ibid.” and similar expressions;

  • Strictly adhere to the Chicago Style of standardization of the final references;
  • Use the layout provided by the journal;
  • Align the manuscript with the principles, policies, and mission of the journal;
  • Identify in the submission form the individual contribution of each author, who must, as a minimum: a) have actively participated in the discussion of the results; and b) in the review and approval of the manuscript’s final version.
  • Ensure manuscript compliance with Open Science and good practices;
  • Indicate whether the manuscript has been submitted to the Preprints system and is in agreement with the Open Peer Review Process;
  • Accept the Journal’s Copyright Policy: the copyright of the published manuscript remains with the Author, and the Journal maintains the right of first publication;
