Author Guidelines

Review process. The journal relies on a double-blind peer review process. Papers proposed by authors are received by the Editors, who decide whether to reject the proposal ex officio (in the case of obvious misconduct, or if the proposal’s topic is incompatible with the journal's scientific objectives) or to initiate the review process. In the latter case, the editors are assisted by the members of the Editorial Board in managing the anonymous review process, which involves the following steps: identifying the two reviewers, mediating between the reviewers and the authors while protecting their identities, and taking a final decision on the publication of the proposal. In the event of a strong disagreement between the two reviewers, the Editors and the Editorial Board may reserve the right to request a new opinion and initiate a second round of review. Contacts between editors, reviewers and authors are made by e-mail. Review forms are sent to the editors, who are responsible for storing them and ensuring the anonymity of reviewers and authors.  Upon request, members of the Editorial Board may disclose the identity of reviewers and authors only at the end of the review process and for the sole purpose of establishing direct contact. Authors and reviewers should contact the Editorial Board and Editors in case of disputes or reports.

Format

The first page of the paper should include the title, name of author(s), affiliation, and e-mail addresses. Abstracts in the same language as the one used in the text and in English of about 800 characters, and three to five keywords in both languages will be included in a second page.

Guidelines

In general, the marks that authors should use are quotation marks: “…”. Textual quotations, though, should be made by using angle brackets: «…………». However, quotations which are within another quotation must be included in quotation marks: «…“…”…». Full stops and other punctuation marks should be placed after quotations marks and brackets. E.g.: ». ”. ). When making a digression from the main argument, authors should use the long dot (e.g.: C. maintains that ¾in an early essay¾ B. seldom complies with Hume’s principle). Within quotations, eliminated passages should be substituted with the following signs: […].

All notes are to be included as footnotes and numbered in ascending order of appearance in Arabic numbers as superscript before the full stop at the end of the sentence.

References should be added in the footnotes following the author-date style, possibly followed by colon and page numbers, e.g. ¹ Kelsen 1945: 121.

All cited works should be included in the references list, following these guidelines:
