Submissions

Author Guidelines

It is necessary first to register, and then log in (to the on-line submissions section) in order to submit articles and check submission status. During the platform registration process, authors must include all their details: name and surname(s), email address, institution to which they belong, short biography, and, highly recommendable, the ORCID. 

Articles will be submitted strictly in accordance with the instructions laid out in this author guidelines section, bearing in mind the need to include all the files detailed in points 1 and 2, and to ensure that submissions comply with the journal’s standards. It is therefore necessary carefully to revise the header data and length, headings, figures and tables, style and, in particular, bibliography (with style of bibliographic citations) sections.

Manuscripts that do not fully comply with these guidelines, including rules for and sequencing of bibliographic citations, will be returned to authors.

1. For review:

-File in pdf format (“review”), WITHOUT any reference to the author’s or authors’ identity, email or affiliation within the text. This file must contain the title of the work in its original language and its English translation, the abstract, the keywords (see points 2 and 3 of the section Header data and length), the complete text, illustrations, tables and graphs in the appropriate place in the text, along with the corresponding captions, and the bibliography. This file will be sent to external reviewers for evaluation; therefore, authors should carefully read and follow the norms set out for this file in peer review and in guaranteeing an anonymous peer review.

The pdf. file is attached in step 2 of the article submission process (“Upload submission”).

2. For possible publication:

-File (“original”) with the article edited in a word processor (doc., docx., odt., rtf.) in accordance with the rules indicated below in the sections: Header data and length; Headings; Figures and tables; Style; and Bibliography. This "original" file should never include illustrations, tables or graphs, but only indicate their position in the text.

-File with full information about the author, including the institution to which they belong and their position therein, contact details and title of the work submitted, and ORCID.

-File with illustrations, tables and graphs (see the section Figures and tables).

-File with numbers and captions for illustrations, tables and graphs.

These files must be uploaded in Step 2 of the article submission process ("Add another file").

When an article is submitted to ETFV, all the files indicated in points 1 and 2 must be uploaded.
