Notes for Authors
Paper: Prepare your manuscript as an editable Word document. Full-length articles should be between 30,000 and 50,000 characters, spaces included; the pages should be numbered. Each submission should include: the complete text, references, tables and figures; a summary or abstract of not more than 150 words; 3-6 keywords or descriptors. Please submit your paper by e-mail to: cambio@dispo.unifi.it.
Format: Make sure all the characters in the text, tables, figure legends, and references are in a single typeface and point size: 12 pt Perpetua; footnotes 10 pt Perpetua. For citations exceeding three lines a separate paragraph must be used. Margins should be at least 1.5 inches on sides, typed in Perpetua 10, no first-line, without opening or closing quotation marks.
Footnotes: Limited use. The note should be placed at the bottom of the page that contains the reference. Footnotes should be numbered consecutively.
Maps, tables and diagrams should not be included in the text file but supplied in a separate file. The positioning of maps, tables and diagrams should be clearly marked (e.g. Fig. 3.3, Tab. 4.5) and should be numbered consecutively in the order in which they appear in the text and must include table titles. Tables will appear in the published article in the order in which they are numbered initially. All artwork (graphs, figures, diagrams, etc.) must be provided by authors in electronic format, as high-resolution (300 dpi) tif, eps, ps or jpg files.
References in the text:
* References should include only the author's name and the year of publication: ex. (Rossi 2007).

* Where there are two or more works by one author in the same year, they must be distinguished as 1991a, 1991b... etc.
