How to prepare a paper Our journals publish several kinds of papers: exhaustive point-to-point style Guidelines are provided in the following sub-sections. Papers not following the Authors ' formatting and content Guidelines provided below will not be taken into account.

4 Only papers ad- hering to the journal Guidelines will be considered for the peer review phase. Authors are warmly invited to carefully read this Manual as well as pa- pers already published in the current Table of Contents and Archives. Manuscripts must be submitted to the desired journal through the electronic platform (see the procedure explained in Chapter 2), not sent via e-mail to the Editors. General information: Manuscripts have to be double-spaced with one-inch margins. Headings must be used to designate the major divisions of the paper. To facilitate the review process, ly manuscripts should contain page and line numbering.

5 On Manuscripts have to be submitted in .doc (preferred) or .pdf format. Be aware that papers in LaTex cannot be accepted. e An Abstract, different from the Introduction and without References, us must be always provided. If a paper is accepted, Authors are required to provide the final revised version al in .doc format, because the Copyediting/Pagination phase cannot be performed on other formats. ci Manuscripts must be written in English. For medical journals, American English is er preferred (consult the Submission website page of each journal to check if American m or British English is required).

6 Authors are suggested to consult the following dictio- om naries for the correct spelling: Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary for Ameri- can English and Collins English Dictionary for British English. Authors whose native language is not English are strongly encouraged to have their -c manuscript checked by a language editing service, or by an English mother-tongue on colleague prior to submission. As an option, PAGEP ress offers a chargeable revision service. This takes just a few days (contact the Managing Editor of the journal you N. are submitting to for further info/costs).

7 At the moment of the submission, Authors are invited to indicate at least 2-3 qualified reviewers for their paper (name, e-mail address and complete affiliation/institution).
