Submissions

Author Guidelines

Papers must be written in English. Submitted papers should conform to the elementary rules of grammar, syntax, punctuation, and clarity. Slang and jargon should be avoided.

The article should begin with a separate cover page bearing the title and author(s) information: full name, affiliation (University and Department/Centre), address, email.

Please, carefully check the author guidelines before drafting and submitting an essay. The guidelines are available here: https://tecnoscienza.unibo.it/libraryFiles/downloadPublic/94

All submissions (except draft book reviews) should use the online system: https://tecnoscienza.unibo.it/about/submissions.

Submitted papers must have the following features:

• Total length: depending on the kind of submission;

• authors should submit their manuscript, along with an abstract of max 200 words. Authors should also provide 6 keywords;

• biographical note of a couple sentences, placed at the end of the article.

Citation guide

• References should be cited in text by the last name of the author(s) and the date of publication (Latour 1987).

• There is no comma before the date. For papers with two authors, join author names with “and” (Star and Griesemer 1989).

• Papers by three or more authors are cited in text by the first author followed by “et al.” and the date (Knorr-Cetina et al. 1980), while all authors have to be listed in the final list of references.

• If the author’s name is in the text, use only the year of publication in parentheses: Latour (1987).

• Pagination follows year after comma: (Star and Griesemer 1989, 390–394).

• If two or more references by the same author also have the same year, a distinguishing letter (a, b, c, etc.) is added after the year.

Reference format

The reference list and text citations should agree and be accurate. All references cited in the text must appear in the reference list, and all references listed in the reference list must be cited in the text. References must be in alphabetical order for authors. References by the same author/s must be listed chronologically. If references have the same year but the second author differs, order alphabetically by second author. If references have the same year and the same second author, make sure there is a distinguishing letter (a, b, c, etc.).
