Author Guidelines

General Guidelines

Archivi delle Emozioni. Ricerche sulle componenti emotive nella letteratura, nell’arte, nella cultura materiale accepts article proposals ranging from 35,000 to 60,000 characters, including spaces, footnotes, and bibliography. Proposals exceeding this limit must be discussed in advance with the Editors. The publication of conference proceedings or monographic issues must likewise be agreed upon with the Editors in advance.

Articles are published in Italian, English, French, German, and Spanish.

Submissions must be uploaded through the journal's OJS system, available at the following address:

https://www.archivi-emozioni.it/index.php/rivista/about/submissions

Each submission must include:

• an abstract;

• keywords;

• a short biographical note.

As Archivi delle Emozioni adopts a double-blind peer review process, submissions must not contain any information that could identify the author. Self-citations should be presented as standard bibliographical references, avoiding any indication that might reveal the author's identity.

Preparing the Manuscript

Submissions must be prepared in Microsoft Word. Greek texts should be typed using a Unicode-compatible font (e.g. Times New Roman). Automatic hyphenation should not be used. The inclusion of images, graphs, and tables must be agreed upon with the Editors in advance.

Quotations and Quotation Marks

For quotations in contributions written in Italian, English, and French, use double quotation marks (“…”); for quotations in Spanish contributions, use angle quotation marks («…»); for quotations in German contributions, use German quotation marks („…“).

Quotations exceeding five lines of prose or five lines of verse, including Greek and Latin texts, must be presented as block quotations, indented from the main text and separated by a blank line before and after. In poetic texts, line numbers must be aligned with the right margin. In verse quotations incorporated into the running text, line breaks should be indicated by a slash preceded and followed by a space.

Single quotation marks (‘…’) may be used to highlight individual expressions or indicate a non-literal use of a word; however, their use should be kept to a minimum.

Footnotes

The footnote number must always follow the punctuation mark.

Only footnotes, numbered consecutively, should be used. Footnotes are intended primarily for bibliographical references and should therefore be used sparingly.

References to ancient texts and modern scholarship must always specify precisely the relevant pages, chapters, sections, or lines.

Page ranges must always be given in full.

Example

Correct: 10–15 or 345–367

Incorrect: 10–5 or 345–67

Do not use abbreviations such as pp., ll., ff., sqq., or cf.. In general, abbreviations should be avoided, except for those conventionally used in different languages to indicate the editor(s) of collective volumes.

Bibliographical references in the footnotes must be given in abbreviated form.

Example

Kuhn-Treichel 2025, 13–15.

Complete bibliographical references must be provided exclusively in the final bibliography.

Greek and Latin Texts

Greek text in Greek characters should appear neither in italics nor in quotation marks. Transliterated Greek words should be italicised (e.g. thymos). Latin texts should be italicised. Titles of Latin works should also be italicised. Do not use abbreviations such as ad loc., e.g., s.v., or vid.

Both in the main text and in the footnotes, references to Greek and Latin texts may be abbreviated.

Example

Ov. Tr. 1.10.15–18; 2.1.1.

In such cases, abbreviations of ancient authors' names and titles of works must follow the Oxford Classical Dictionary. Books, chapters, sections, and lines should be separated by full stops, without spaces; two or more references to the same work should be separated by a semicolon.

Final Bibliography

The final bibliography may be divided into the following sections:

1. Primary Bibliography (editions, commentaries, and translations)
2. Secondary Bibliography
3. Webography

General Rules

Bibliographical entries must be arranged alphabetically by author within each section. The purpose of the final bibliography, which is also published on the journal's website, is to provide readers with clear, accurate, and complete references, including, wherever possible, information on open-access versions of the cited works.

The following should be italicised:

• titles of ancient works;

• titles of monographs;

• titles of edited volumes;

• titles of reference works and dictionaries;

• titles of journals, which must always be given in full and never abbreviated.

The following should be enclosed in double quotation marks (“…”):

• titles of journal articles;

• titles of contributions in edited volumes;

• titles of entries in reference works, dictionaries, and encyclopaedias.

Primary Bibliography

For editions of Greek and Latin texts, authors are encouraged to adopt consistent bibliographical criteria and to provide complete and up-to-date information on reprints and revised editions, including digital editions where applicable. The series of texts and commentaries may also be included (although this is not compulsory) whenever it contributes to a fuller bibliographical description. The primary bibliography must always be arranged according to the name of the ancient author rather than the editor.
