Author Guidelines

It is very important that your article conforms to the author guidelines available on the Ardeth.eu website:

Ardeth - Author Guidelines

Non-compliance with the guidelines implies, at best, a delay in the review process of your article. In the worst case scenario, an evaluation of non-suitability for the double blind peer review process which means rejection for your contribution.

Solicited Manuscript

A solicited manuscript is a manuscript that the author submits after a personal invitation of the editorial board, or the guest curator, to respond to the call. They usually serve as leading articles of special issues. Apart from this, solicited manuscripts follow the same double blind peer review process as the submitted ones. Length must be between 3,500-4,500 words including notes, captions, and references. Editors retain normal editorial responsibilities, including the right of rejection. Please consult with the Editors before submitting un-solicited manuscripts of this type.

Submitted Manuscript

A submitted manuscript is a manuscript that the author freely submits to the editorial board. To submit a manuscript for double blind peer-review, please email your manuscript to the Editorial Secretary (redazione@ardeth.eu). Authors are requested to follow the submission guidelines carefully (see below). Length must be between 3,500-4,500 words including notes, captions, and references. Manuscripts not
prepared accordingly will be returned to authors and this will inevitably lead to a delay in the editorial processing of the manuscript. Images are welcome, but they must not be more than six. In case of special needs, they has to be discussed with the Editorial Board.

Visual Essay

Visual Essays are graphical articles accompanied by a short text. As the submitted and the solicited manuscripts, Visual Essays are subject to double blind peer review. “Ardeth” welcomes visual essays for the special section of the magazine that is primarily image-based and specialized in the production of knowledge through images. The visual essay submission has to be composed by an original image-based production and a written text of less than 1,000 words to support images (including endnotes and references). Authors are requested to follow the image submission guidelines carefully.

Commentaries

Commentaries are short contributions (2,000 words maximum) that discuss topics previously introduced in “Ardeth” issues. Such pieces may comment on the general theme or specific contributions of the previous issue, replay to other critical pieces or build on book and conference and exhibition reviews. No images are
allowed for this type of contribution. Authors should contact the Editorial Board (redazione@ardeth.eu) before submitting manuscripts of this type.

Book Reviews

Book reviews, conference calls, short reports and the like should be sent to the redazione@ardeth.eu. These materials will be considered for publication either online or in the printed version of the magazine. Length should not exceed 500 words as a general rule, even if the length of comparative pieces (such as combined reviews of two or more books) may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
