The articles must be presented, in the first submission, in the general structure:

• title

Only at the time of sending the final text, that is, after the author has received confirmation of acceptance and accepted any comments of modification of the referees, must, by sending the final work, also insert between the title and the abstract the following data in the following way:

• authors (Arial 12pt, bold)
• affiliation (Arial 12pt, normal)

• keyword (max five, at the author's choice in English Times New Roman 12pt)

The work thus integrated will have to fall within the permitted dimensions. The first paragraph must be of Introduction, the final one of Conclusion. Paragraphs shall be numbered by paragraph, subparagraph. Top-level paragraphs are numbered without a period. From the second level begins the numbering with period:

• Date of review: In full, day in number - month in letters - year in number.
• Abstract: Short abstract in English (5-6 lines). Appreciated translation into Italian below.
• Review: The section so called will contain the actual body of the review. We will understand the concept of review as: construction of a large critical bibliographic sheet that identifies the main assertions to which the author has come and contextualizes them. It is therefore a question of making a report that includes a commentary on the text with a critical analysis of the issues and relevant aspects. The final paragraph will contain a judgment on the value of the text and/or the discussion of positions and results.

C- Editorial roles

Authors are asked to use the APA Style 6th edition system for citations, bibliographic references, and construction of the bibliography.  The APA STYLE is a style that is based on the author-date system for bibliographic references. It consists in the use of the author's surname and the date of publication of a text. The complete reference will then be presented in the final bibliography in alphabetical order.

We recommend that you consult the free guidelines and tutorials of the APA editorial standards.

Images and tables

Images and tables must be inserted into the text in the manner indicated in the "body text" file.

Special notes:

1. Please note that the publication is in black and white: the images and tables must therefore be significant in shades of gray.
2. The maximum size of the images, once printed, is 12 cm. x7.5 cm. We therefore ask you to check their readability in this format.
3. Tables must have a title.
4. Each image must have a legend: it must make the image understandable even regardless of the text.
5. Given the scientific nature of the journal, it is requested to insert only images and graphics that are strictly essential to the presentation of fundamental concepts. Purely descriptive or decorative images (for example screenshoot of sites) or in any case that do not bring elements of significant conceptual clarification with respect to the text should be absolutely avoided.

The editorial staff reserves the right to delete images not considered relevant as indicated above.

The editorial staff may, if a better layout of the publication is necessary, ask the author to send the image files separately, in jpg format at 300 dpi resolution.
