Author Guidelines

General information

• File format: Microsoft Word in .docx format

• Line spacing text: 1,5

• Font text: Times New Roman, 12 (plain)

• Italics for: titles of volumes or articles, foreign language terms or expressions, Latin quotations

• Use single inverted commas (‘...’) for emphasis

• Use tab stops or other commands for indents, not the space bar

First page and paragraph titles

• First and last name of the author: Times New Roman 12 (plain, capital letters, centred)

• Title: Times New Roman 12 (plain, capital letters, centred)

• Paragraph titles: italic, numbered with plain Arabic numbers, left-aligned

E.g:

FELICE CIMATTI
THE LURE OF NOTHINGNESS. ART AND CRISIS OF “PRESENCE” IN ERNESTO DE MARTINO

Indents:

• No indents after paragraph titles and after long quotations

• 1 cm to the right and left in all other cases.

In-text citations:

• Cite references in the text by name and year (first edition) in parentheses. The page number should be added after a comma. Some examples:

As Heidegger (1927, 15) put it ...
The concept of Geworfenheit (Heidegger 1927)

• If three or fewer authors are cited from the same citation then all should be listed. If four or more authors are part of the citation then “et al.” should follow the first author name.

(Jones, Smith, Brown 2008); (Jones et al. 2008)

• If citations are used from the same author and the same year, then a lowercase letter, starting from ‘a’, should be placed after the year.

(Jones 2013a; Jones 2013b)

• For publications authored and published by organisations, use the short form of the organisation’s name or its acronym in lieu of the full name.

(ICRC 2000) NOT (International Committee of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies 2000)

Footnotes

• Footnotes can be used to give additional information, which may include the citation of a reference included in the reference list.

• They should not consist solely of a reference citation, and they should never include the bibliographic details of a reference. They should also not contain any figures or tables.

• Always use footnotes instead of endnotes.

Quotation marks

• Use angle commas («…») for quotations, except for quotations longer than three lines, which must be placed in a paragraph separate from the main text.

• Do not use double inverted commas (“…”)

• Do not use straight quotation marks (not oriented) ('...')

• Use single inverted commas (‘…’) for emphasis only

For quotes longer than 3 lines, format them as follows:

• Times New Roman 10 (plain), indented at (1 cm), without «…», with a blank space above and below

• The footnote number (contrary to normal usage in text, where it should be placed before punctuation) should be placed after the final punctuation

• Mark omitted parts of text with square brackets [...]

E.g.: As Nietzsche states:

«Where has God gone?» – he shouted – «I will tell you! We have killed him - you and me! We are all his murderers!». (Nietzsche 1882, 162)

Reference list

• All citations must be listed at the end of the text file, in alphabetical order of authors’ surnames.

• Do not space between two initial installments of the same author.

• If there is more than one author or publisher, insert a short dash (e.g.: Bergmann W. - Hoffmann G)

• When the title of a volume contains the title of another work or a foreign term, DO NOT use italics but use angle inverted commas (e.g. Plato’s «Symposium»).

English titles:

• Use capital letters only for terms that require them anyway (NOT: The Education of a Medical Student, BUT The education of a medical student)

• Always space between p./pp. and numbers. Indication of page numbers (pp. 155-157 and not: 155-7).
