Organization of the manuscript

If the article exceeds the two folders it is preferable to subdivide the written in titled paragraphs, or in sections.

By "folder" we mean, in any case, an average of 2,000 characters per page, that is, thirty lines of about sixty-five bars (including spaces and notes).

 

Indicatively it is necessary to respect the following dimensions:

 

- Main essays: within 20,000 characters (approximately 10 folders);

- Reviews: between 4,000 and 12,000 characters (2-6 pages approximately);

- Product sheets: between 2,000 and 4,000 characters (about 1-2 folders).

 It is appropriate, in the case of significantly different needs, and for types of contributions not mentioned here, to agree with the editorial staff the number of characteres allowed. 

The text of the article should not exceed the limits indicated above and  should be accompanied by at least 4-5 images.
