Articles submitted for the call for papers must be sent to the editors of the respective issue. Articles intended for the "Controversies" or "Critical Notes" sections should be sent to info@giornalecritico.it.

Submissions are accepted in the main European languages (Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese).

Authors must adhere to the norms and the layout template available in .doc format.

Submissions must be delivered exclusively in .doc format (articles submitted in other formats will be automatically rejected).

For each contribution, authors must provide two separate files to the editorial team or the curators of the monographic section:

​

• The first .doc file for blind referees, containing the unsigned article. The text must be preceded by an abstract of no more than 150 words in English, along with at least 5–6 keywords in English.

• The second .doc file for the editorial team, including the author's details: name, surname, institutional affiliation (if applicable), article title (specifying the issue for which the article is intended), and a valid email address (preferably institutional).

​

The maximum length for each article is 30,000 characters (spaces included). The maximum length for "Critical Notes" is 25,000 characters (spaces included).

Articles will undergo a double-blind peer review process.

Anonymous reviewers are selected from experts in the topics and disciplines covered in the article and will provide evaluations based on the content and formal criteria outlined in the "Giornale Critico di Storia delle Idee" review form.
If necessary, articles may be submitted to a third reviewer for a final and non-appealable evaluation.

Each contribution will be assessed by reviewers, who may determine that it is:

​

• suitable for publication without changes;

• suitable for publication with minor revisions;

• suitable for publication with significant revisions;

• unsuitable.

​

The reviewers' anonymous evaluations and the acceptance decisions will be communicated privately to the authors via email.
