Author Guidelines

EDITORIAL RULES FOR AUTHORS AND CONTRIBUTORS


The expected size of a journal article is about 10-12 folders per contribution (one folder: 2500 characters). Contributions of greater or lesser length can be agreed with the editor. (25,000/30,000 characters in total). The "long articles" category has a maximum of 44,000 characters including spaces.
For the sake of editorial uniformity, we kindly ask authors to strictly observe the criteria listed below. Submissions that do not respect these notes will not be considered.

General guidelines


It is recommended that the following general indications be carefully followed:
- Title in Italian and English (Times New Roman 12 - Boldface - Printed in capital letters).
- Under the title, write, aligned to the right, the full name of the author, followed (at the end) by the institution to which he/she belongs in English and the institutional email address.
- Abstract in English and Italian (Times New Roman 11- max 1.500 characters including spaces).
- Key words in English and Italian (Times New Roman 11 - from 3 to 5) describing the content of the article or report. Keywords are used for semantic indexing, therefore they must be chosen according to a fairly general classification logic, but which captures the specifics of the work. No articulated sentences instead of words.
- The body of the text should be in Times New Roman 12.
- Bibliography updated in APA Styles and compiled according to the attached examples (see Editorial Notes). Proportionate to the length of the article, i.e. not excessively long. The journal publishes only reference bibliographies, so be sure to check that each text cited in the bibliography is also cited in text, according to APA Style rules (see Editorial Notes). The bibliography is always in Times New Roman 11.
- At the end, after the bibliography and notes, indicate the date and, for any updated versions, the version number, to ensure that the most recent version of the article is published.
- Also at the end, add telephone, e-mail and postal contact details to enable contact to be made in the event of problems; these details are, of course, removed before the text is published but should be found with the text itself, as messages and accompanying letters may be lost.
Style
- It is preferable to avoid excessively long paragraphs and 'monolithic' articles without internal scansion. Breaking up paragraphs and introducing headings is highly recommended.
- Foreign words in the body of the text should be in italics, unless they are naturalised words or phrases.
- For quotations, use " ", for words to be highlighted or for words or expressions quoted within quotations, use " ", equally for short quotations within the body of the text.
For further differentiation, italics can be used, whereas CAPITAL and SHORT CAPITALS should be avoided, and underlining is also problematic, since in the typographical tradition it is assimilated to italics. Only in exceptional cases should combinations such as bold, italics and the like be used, outside of titles and subtitles.
- Internal consistency is important, i.e. that all foreign quotations are indicated and then translated in a certain way, that all key-headings are indicated in another way, and so on. By convention, spellings are placed between < > and pronunciation transcriptions are between [ ] or between / / depending on the type of analysis, phonetic or phonological.
- Incorrect placement of punctuation marks is often encountered, which with word processing systems also leads to errors in carriage returns. Single signs such as . , ; : ! are never preceded by a space and are always followed by a space. Pair signs such as ( ), "", [ ], '', // and < > have no space between themselves and the word or phrase they delimit, and have a space before opening and a space after closing. Suspension dots are always three.
- Incorrect: " Hello, Joan! How are you? ". - Worcester ( England )is a city......
- Corrigendum: "Hello, Joan! How are you?" - - Worcester (England) is a city...
- Footnotes should be explanatory only. For bibliographical notes only, use the internal references according to the APA Style (see below).

E. Additional purposes

The Data Controller, subject to your express, free and unequivocal consent pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, point a) of the Regulation, may request from you, in addition to the above data, additional Personal Data such as, by way of example and not exhaustive, data relating to tastes, preferences, habits, needs and consumption choices, for the following purposes:

  • Purposes of quality of the service provided, to be able to orient you on the training and educational offers of the owner best suited to your needs and your timing.
  • Direct marketing purposes: this term means the will of the Joint Data Controllers to carry out promotional and/or marketing activities towards you. This category includes all activities carried out to promote products, services, sold and / or provided by the Joint Data Controllers on the basis of their legitimate interest in pursuing their corporate purpose.
  • Indirect marketing purposes: this term means the will of the Joint Data Controllers to carry out promotional and/or marketing activities towards you on behalf of third parties. This category includes all activities carried out to promote products, services, sold and / or provided by third parties with whom the Joint Data Controllers maintain legal relationships without in this case there being communication of data.
  • Profiling purposes: this term means the will of the Joint Data Controllers to profile you, that is, evaluate your tastes, preferences and consumption habits also related to market surveys and statistical analysis. This category includes any form of automated processing of Personal Data to evaluate certain personal aspects such as those concerning, but not limited to, professional performance, economic situation, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

The processing of your Personal Data for the purposes referred to in points (ii) and (iii) cannot be separated from obtaining your consent, which must necessarily comply with the conditions set out in Article 7 of the Regulation, thus determining the lawfulness of the Processing of your Personal Data.

With regard to the direct marketing purpose referred to in point (i), it should be noted that, by virtue of Article 6, paragraph 1, point f) of the Regulation, the Joint Data Controllers may carry out this activity based on their legitimate interest, regardless of your consent and in any case until your opposition to such Processing as better explained in Recital 47 of the Regulation in which it is "considered legitimate interest to process personal data for purposes of direct marketing". This will also be possible following the assessments carried out by the Joint Data Controllers regarding the possible and possible prevalence of your interests, rights and fundamental freedoms that require the protection of Personal Data over their legitimate interest in sending direct marketing communications.

The contact methods aimed at direct, indirect and profiling marketing activities as in points (i), (ii) and (iii) above, may be either automated (email, sms, mms, fax, phone calls without operator) or traditional (telephone calls with operator, postal items). In any case, and as further specified in Section H, you can revoke your consent, even partially, for example by consenting only to traditional contact methods.

With regard to the contact methods that involve the use of your telephone contacts.

F. To which subjects may your Personal Data be communicated?

Your Personal Data may be disclosed to specific subjects considered recipients of such Personal Data. In fact, Article 4 in point 9) of the Regulation, defines as recipient of a Personal Data "the natural or legal person, public authority, service or other body that receives communication of personal data, whether or not it is a third party" (hereinafter the "Recipients").

With this in mind, in order to correctly carry out all the processing activities necessary to pursue the purposes referred to in this Notice, the following Recipients may be in a position to process your Personal Data:

  • third parties that carry out part of the processing activities and / or activities connected and instrumental to the same on behalf of the Data Controller or the Joint Data Controllers. These subjects have been appointed as data processors, having to be understood individually with this expression, pursuant to Article 4 in point 8) of the Regulation, "the natural or legal person, public authority, service or other body that processes Personal Data on behalf of the Data Controller" (hereinafter the "Data Processor");
  • individuals, employees and / or collaborators of the Data Controller or Joint Data Controllers, who have been entrusted with specific and / or more processing activities on your Personal Data. These individuals have been given specific instructions regarding the security and correct use of Personal Data and are defined, pursuant to Article 4 in point 10) of the Regulation, "persons authorized to process Personal Data under the direct authority of the Data Controller or Data Processor" (hereinafter the "Authorized Persons").
  • Where required by law or to prevent or suppress the commission of a crime, your Personal Data may be disclosed to public bodies or judicial authorities without these being defined as Recipients. In fact, pursuant to Article 4 in point 9) of the Regulation, "public authorities that may receive communication of Personal Data in the context of a specific investigation in accordance with Union or Member State law are not considered Recipients".

G. How long will your Personal Data be processed?

One of the principles applicable to the processing of your Personal Data concerns the limitation of the retention period, governed by Article 5, paragraph 1, point e) of the Regulation which states "Personal Data are stored in a form that allows the identification of the Data Subjects for a period of time not exceeding the achievement of the purposes for which they are processed; Personal Data may be kept for longer periods provided that they are processed exclusively for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research or statistical purposes, in accordance with Article 89, paragraph 1, without prejudice to the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures required by this regulation to protect the rights and freedoms of the interested party".

In light of this principle, your Personal Data will be processed by the Data Controller limited to what is necessary for the pursuit of the purposes referred to in Section D of this Information. In particular, your Personal Data will be processed for a period of time equal to the minimum necessary, as indicated in Recital 39 of the Regulation, ie until the termination of the contractual relations between you and the Data Controller without prejudice to a further retention period that may be imposed by law as also provided for in Recital 65 of the Regulation.

With regard to the processing carried out for the achievement of the purposes referred to in Section E of this Information, the Data Controller may lawfully process your Personal Data until you communicate, in one of the methods provided for in this Information, your desire to revoke consent to one or all of the purposes for which you have been asked. Any withdrawal of consent will, in fact, require the Data Controller to cease processing your Personal Data for these purposes.

H. Is it possible to revoke the consent given and how?

As required by the Regulation, if you have given your consent to the processing of your Personal Data for one or more purposes for which you have been requested, you may, at any time, revoke it totally and / or partially without prejudice to the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent given before the revocation.

The methods for revoking consent are very simple and intuitive, just contact the Data Controller and / or the Joint Data Controllers using the contact channels reported within this Information and respectively in sections C and I.

In addition to the above and for simplicity, if you are in a position to receive advertising e-mail messages from the Data Controllers that are no longer of interest to you, simply click on the unsubscribe button at the bottom of the same to no longer receive any communication even through additional contact channels for which your consent was obtained (SMS,  MMS, paper mail, fax, phone calls).

I. What are your rights?

As required by Article 15 of the Regulation, you can access your Personal Data, request its correction and updating, if incomplete or erroneous, request its cancellation if the collection has taken place in violation of a law or regulation, as well as oppose the processing for legitimate and specific reasons.
