Submissions

Author Guidelines

JIB uses OJS, an automated web-based system to manage the submission and review of publication proposals. Authors of contributions must first read and accept without reservations the JIB Code of Ethics. Manuscripts must be submitted through the journal website during the opening period of the annual Call for papers. In case of difficulties or for clarifications on the submission process, it is possible to contact the editorial staff: pop-app@fondazionetancredidibarolo.com

Article Processing Charges (Apc)

JIB.it does not require authors to pay APC, submissions charges or for any other service.

Requirements for the publication of contributions

During the submission procedure, authors must verify compliance with the following requirements:

• The contribution is written in compliance with the Journal's editorial rules.
• The contribution is uploaded in one of the following formats: DOC, DOCX, RTF.
• The contribution file is anonymous: the name, affiliation and email address of each author will be included in the metadata and are not present in the text of the article.
• The contribution is accompanied by an abstract, 1,500/2,000 characters (including spaces), as well as the eventual English translation of the title and three/five significant keywords.
• Authors allow editorial changes to the text and metadata of their contributions. They also undertake to provide any high-definition images if requested by the editorial staff.

Editorial guidelines

JIB adopts The Chicago Manual of Style, 17^th ed. for bibliographic references, in the Author-date format.

• Within the text, the reference to the cited work is inserted in round brackets, in the form (Author's surname Year of publication, page number), e.g. (Pollan 2006, 3).
• The extended bibliographic references of the cited texts integrated by those consulted but not cited (further readings) should be inserted on the last page of the contribution.
• Arrange the works cited alphabetically, by author's surname or by title, for works without an author, following The Chicago Manual of Style, 17^th ed. If more than one work by the same author appears, they should be ordered in decreasing chronological order. Below are some examples of bibliographic citations:

Monograph, single author: (Pollan 2006, 99–100) Pollan, Michael. 2006. The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. New York: Penguin.

Monograph, two or more authors: (Ward and Burns 2007, 59–61) Ward, Geoffrey C., and Ken Burns. 2007. The War: An Intimate History, 1941–1945. New York: Knopf.

Monograph Chapter: (Kelly 2010, 81–82) Kelly, John D. 2010. “Seeing Red: Mao Fetishism, Pax Americana, and the Moral Economy of War.” In “Anthropology and Global Counterinsurgency,” edited by John D. Kelly, Beatrice Jauregui, Sean T. Mitchell, and Jeremy Walton, 67–83. Chicago: University of Chicago Press.

Print journal article: (Weinstein 2009, 440) Weinstein, Joshua I. 2009. “The Market in Plato’s Republic.” Classical Philology 104: 439–58.

More examples are available at the URL: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html.

Additionally:

• Repeated citations of the same work, unless interspersed with references to others, should be indicated with “Ibid.” Op. cit. and loc. cit. are not used. For page range citations, use the form 217–219 and not pp. 217–19.
• Short citations are inserted in the text between high quotation marks; extended citations (more than three lines of text) should be inserted in a block, omitting the quotation marks.
• Any tables and images are inserted in the text and accompanied by captions.
• Information about the occasion or circumstances of the work, together with any acknowledgements, should be included in a footnote on the first unnumbered page.
• If web addresses are cited, it is recommended to indicate the date of the last consultation. All URLs exceeding 30 characters should be shortened using the TinyURL service.

Further clarifications for authors are available in the downloadable attachment with the Call for papers.

At the end of the editorial process, authors will be able to review the drafts and discuss any changes with the editorial staff.
