Author Guidelines

The purpose of «Prassi Ecdotiche della Modernità Letteraria» is to arouse a debate around the themes of each issue and to create a network of scholars, young researchers and professionals of publishing industry interested in ecdotics, author’s philology and textual criticism.

Each issue of «Prassi Ecdotiche della Modernità Letteraria» is not already closed and defined with an a priori index, but takes advantage of the potential offered by the Open Access platform of the University of Milan, publishing contributions as they reach the editorial office (after undergoing an initial internal reading and then an external double-blind evaluation process). Towards the end of each calendar year, the issue will be closed with definitive index and page numbering; until then the publication is citable via URL and DOI.

 

 

To submit a proposal, please send the full text via email, in .doc format, to the Journal Director Alberto Cadioli ( alberto.cadioli@unimi.it ) and to the Editorial Manager Virna Brigatti ( virna.brigatti@unimi.it ) or submit it on this online platform.

 

Biographical profile and contact details

The author must send the editorial office their ORCID ID, if they have it, a short (max. 250 characters) academic biography or in any case indications of their research interests and any publications; it is then possible to indicate an institutional link to their academic or curricular data; if necessary, it is also possible to send the link to their Academia.edu page or equivalent online space.

 

Abstracts, Bibliography and Keywords

Each article must be accompanied by a short abstract (max 550 characters), the complete bibliography and a list of keywords that will be used for the online publication in Open Access, to facilitate the search among the journal contents and the indexing on search engines.

Abstract, keywords and also the title of the contribution must be provided in Italian and English.

 

Review

Each submitted manuscript will be preliminarily reviewed by the Director and the Editorial Manager and is generally reviewed by one or two external reviewers under a double-blind peer review process where both the reviewers and the authors are kept anonymous. To help us to achieve this goal, we please ask to avoid from the files all the indications that can identify the author.

After peer review, authors might be asked to make some changes to their text.

 

Proofreading

After adapting the manuscript to the reviewer suggestions and to the journal style guide, please send the definitive manuscript to the Editorial Manager Virna Brigatti ( virna.brigatti@unimi.it ) in .doc format in order to set the proofs. 

After proofreading (authors can use pdf notes), please send back the proofs again to the Editorial Manager Virna Brigatti.

 

Full texts and offprints

Full texts can be downloaded from PEML website.

Until the number is not closed, the pdfs don’t have page numbers, which will be inserted later, when the definitive index is set up. 

 

Disclaimer on full text

Please do not upload the full text on social networks like Academia.edu or ResearchGate, but link our Journal website, in order to let us grow and to let us have trustworthy insights.

Essays and textual inspections

The section welcomes contributions that deepen textual, philological, ecdotic or historical-critical issues, or that specify the state of the studies on texts dating from the XVIIIth to XXth centuries, with the aim of favoring the comparison and the methodological exchange.

Open conferences

The section "Open Conferences" proposes the transcription, revised and complete with bibliographic notes, of interventions that were held at conferences, seminars, study days for which no proceedings are expected. In other words, it is proposed a space that can give an accommodation and a location easily available to those contents that, although of great interest, risk remaining irrecoverable for all those who could not attend the meeting that gave rise to the intervention in question. The publication criterions, however, does not set as its objective the exhaustiveness and completeness of the report of the work of each mentioned occasion (otherwise reiterating the publication of the proceedings), but leaves the authors the freedom to refer to this office to present to the scientific community his work, under a form of writing agile and almost immediate compared to what has already been prepared for an oral exhibition.

Reviews and reports

Under the heading "Reviews and reports" can be found reviews of recently published volumes or essays, which are part of the issues and reflections of ecdotic practices. In addition, individual publications or indexes of entire magazine numbers will be presented if, for their arguments, are in dialogue, however in a dialogue at a distance, with the "pages" of PEML and their readers. Readers are invited to send specific reports to the editors, which will be evaluated and published.
Finally, in this section we will present the syntheses, given as "reports", of lectures and seminars, whose contents come into direct comparison with the issues at the center of the magazine's reflections.

Dissertations' Archives

Here are collected titles of dissertations, master's and doctoral theses, discussed in Italian universities, which have as their object the issues and methodologies proposed by textual bibliography and by author's philology.
