The Journal

Submission

Those interested in submitting articles or reviews for publication in the RCVS must send an email attaching the manuscript file.

Articles are accepted in Italian, French, English, and Spanish. If the text is not written in Italian, the editorial board will publish the article in its original language but reserves the right to include an extended summary in Italian for publication in the same issue of the journal.

The manuscript file must include: the title, an abstract (maximum 1,000 characters) in the original language and in English, the article text (maximum 40,000 characters), and the reference bibliography.

A separate file must be sent to the editorial board containing brief biographical notes about the author (maximum 500 characters), along with details of their institutional affiliation, address, and email address for contact.

Any questions regarding the style and format of the manuscript can be directed to the editorial board coordinator (email: redazione@vittimologia.it).

The manuscript file in electronic format must be sent to the RCVS in Microsoft Word format to the email address of the editorial board coordinator.
