Ecco la traduzione in inglese:
GEOmedia accepts editorial contributions related to the magazine’s fields of interest for publication in the print edition. Manuscripts can be submitted in digital format, preferably via email, to the following address:
📧
Contributions for the Focus, Report, and Guest Paper sections can be submitted by entering the required data into the Open Journal System – for Authors, in order to facilitate the indexing of contributions in national and international databases.
Length
If an article exceeds two standard pages, it is preferable to divide it into titled paragraphs or sections. A "standard page" is considered to have approximately 2,000 characters per page, which means thirty lines of about sixty-five characters each (including spaces and footnotes).
The recommended length for different sections is:
- FOCUS: up to 20,000 characters (approximately 10 pages).
- REPORT: between 5,000 and 12,000 characters (approximately 3-6 pages).
- GUEST PAPER: up to 25,000 characters (approximately 13 pages).
- OTHER SECTIONS: between 2,000 and 4,000 characters (approximately 1-2 pages).
(For character count assistance, use the specific function in your word processor.)
Although these are not rigid limits, in cases where significantly different requirements arise, or for contributions not mentioned here, the length should be agreed upon with the editorial team.
Each article must be accompanied by at least 5-6 images. If the article requires more, additional images may be accepted.
Text Formatting Guidelines
- Avoid using bold or underlining; use italics instead.
