TEXT EDITING RULES

General Rules
The text should (including: spaces, notes, bibliographical references, sitography and archival sources; excluding:
authors' names, email addresses, insQtuQon, abstract, keywords, tables, capQons).
Do not insert blank lines between paragraphs.

The Qtle of the abstract must be concise and descripQve, max. 120 characters, spaces included (in any case, not
more than 2 lines in the layout).

In-text bibliographical references are placed inside brackets and include:

[Author's last name, year of publicaQon, page number(s) preceded by "p." or "pp."].
All texts cited in the text must necessarily be included in the list of references.
The reference list must not contain texts that are not explicitly cited in the paper.
E.g.: … as affirmed regarding the issue [Chomsky 2010, p. 22].
E.g.: ... as affirmed regarding the issue [Chomsky 2010, pp. 21, 22].
E.g.: ... as affirmed regarding the issue [Chomsky 2010, pp. 11-22].
If several texts by the same author are cited, the last name is indicated only once, followed by the dates
separated by a semi-colon.
E.g.: … as results from Chomsky's studies [Chomsky 2010; 2017].
If the same author, in the same year, is present with two bibliographical citaQons, the reference will have a
leEer following the year. The same leEer will be indicated in the bibliographical references amer the year of
publicaQon, in parentheses (see the secQon below regarding bibliographical references).
E.g.: … as affirmed regarding the issue. [Chomsky 2010a, pp. 11-22].
E.g.: … the issue has been systemaQcally addressed [Chomsky 2010b, p. 3].
Endnotes
Endnotes must be numbered progressively and may contain a brief comment or other remark that the author
deems appropriate. If the note refers to a text cited in the reference list, the text will be referred to in summary
form: the author’s last name, year of publicaQon, p./pp. xx.
In the text, the reference number of an endnote will be placed inside brackets.
In the endnotes, the reference number will also be placed inside brackets.
E.g.: (in the text): ... as stated by Prof. White [2].
[1] White 2015, pp. 11-14.
[2] As stated by Prof. White [...]: White 2014, p. 123.

AbbreviaQons.
Avoid abbreviaQons as much as possible within the text, with the excepQon of ca. (about); B.C. (before Christ);
A.D. (Anno Domini).
AbbreviaQons are used preferably in the notes.
Do not include an apostrophe when pluralizing abbreviaQons.
List of permiEed abbreviaQons.

arQcle/s art./arts.
chapter/s chap./chaps.
issue/s No./Nos.
circa ca.
compare cfr.
et cetera etc.
ediQon/s ed./eds.
editor/s Ed./Eds. figure/s Fig./Figs.
ibidem ibid.
idem/eadem id./ead.
number/s No./Nos.
page/s p./pp.
following ff.
no date n.d.
volume/s Vol./Vols.

In-text direct quotaQons

QuotaQons are inserted within the text (same font, font height and line spacing), using double quotaQon marks.
("xxxxx").
Any quotaQon within a quotaQon should be placed inside single quotaQon marks (“xxxx ‘xxxxxxxx’ xxxx”).
E.g.: One can therefore agree with White when he observes that "for Leonardo da Vinci the painter ‘is master of
all the things that can befall the mind of man,’ as we read in his Trea%se on Pain%ng" [White 2017, p. 38].

Italics
In italics: Qtles of books, magazines, periodicals, films, works of art, newspapers, exhibiQons, courses, and
teaching modules.
Italics are always used for terms in a language other than the language of the paper, except for words that have
entered common use, such as, for example: spagheu, paparazzo.
• The specific names of people, places, and things. E.g.: John, New York, United NaQons.
• Names that indicate eras or historic events of great importance. E.g.: the American RevoluQonary War,
the TerQary Period, the Stone Age, the French RevoluQon.
• Geographical names. E.g.: Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Mount Everest, Lake Placid, Bay of Pigs, Gulf
of Naples, Cape of Good Hope, etc.
• Epithets and nicknames. E.g.: Lorenzo the Magnificent, Richard the Lionheart.

Dates
Dates are preferably wriEen as four-digit numbers (“1973”); when shortened, an apostrophe is used in place of
the century and millennium digits (’73 ).
In the case of consecuQve years, these are separated by a hyphen and wriEen as four-digit numbers (1985-1986,
not 1985-'86).
E.g.: in 1930 the architect went to Milan, where, in 1931, he was commissioned to...
E.g.: the student protests of ‘68
E.g.: the 1970s
E.g.: people in their 40s

Capital leEers
The first word in a complete sentence should be capitalized.
Capital leEers are required for proper nouns.

Lowercase leEers
Except in special cases, words are lowercase unless there is specific guidance to capitalize them.

Lists
In general, both numbered lists and bulleted lists are preceded by a colon.

Bibliographical references

All the texts cited in the paper must be indicated in the list of references.
Texts of general interest that are not explicitly cited in the paper are not to be included in the references.
The list of texts will be arranged in alphabeQcal order; only in the case of repeated authors, these will be listed in
chronological order.
Rules for wriQng bibliographical references have been established on the basis of the APA citaQon style manual,
with some changes that the authors are requested to take into account.
If it is necessary to cite a text that does not fall within the cases set out below, or for more informaQon, please
refer to the provisions of the APA system, available for consultaQon, at the following web addresses:
• it is necessary to insert the ediQon of the text that has actually been consulted and of which the author,
year, page numbers are to be reported;
• it is advisable to insert the Qtle and date of the first ediQon in cases where this is significant; in these
cases, place the informaQon inside brackets;
• texts must be cited using the informaQon found on the cover or in the colophon: for example, if a
volume, present in the Bibliographical References of the Italian text, is published in another language, (a cura di)
becomes (Ed.). And similarly: if a text, present in the reference list of the English version, is published in Italian,
(Ed.) becomes (a cura di).
• It is advisable, where possible, to refer to ediQons and/or translaQons accredited in the field of science:
E.g.: Panofsky, E. (1997). Perspec%ve as Symbolic Form. New York: Zone Books. [First ed. Die Perspek%ve als
"symbolische Form." Leipzig-Berlin 1927].
• Do not include the name of the translator unless this is, for some reason, strictly necessary;
• if the same author, in the same year, is present with two bibliographical citaQons, these are
disQnguished by adding a leEer to the date of publicaQon, wriEen in parentheses. E.g.: Redford, M. (1984a).
Symbolic Exchange and Death. New York: Thompson. E.g.: Redford, M. (1984b). The History of Representa%on.
New York: Thompson.
• Never use small capitals;
• Reduce capital leEers to a minimum;
• Do not use underlining;
• In case of doubt, request clarificaQon from the Editorial Board.
