Linee guida per gli autori

The journal accepts submissions in English, Greek, French, and Spanish. We encourage interdisciplinary, multidimensional and multilingual dialogue.

The policy brief should be written in Times New Roman 12, line spacing 1.5. Use the available template. Also, you should follow the APA reference style with minor modifications (see the template for more information). The policy brief should:

✔ be around 2.500 words.

Your submission should consist of two word documents:

  1. The Policy Brief (according to the available template).

The word file of your policy brief should be titled as “nameofauthor_hapscpolicybriefs.docx”.

Submission and Review Process

The authors submit their policy briefs to the email: [email protected] and email subject: "Submission at HAPSc Policy Briefs Series". The journal uses the system of double-blind peer review: Once the submission has been assessed for suitability by the editorial board, it will then be sent to two independent, anonymous expert referees. To limit reviewer bias, submissions are anonymized before being sent out for review. The Editors are responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of manuscripts. The Editors’ decisions are final.

The evaluation will be based on the following criteria:

⮚ the choice of the topic

⮚ the contribution to the existing knowledge

⮚ the recommendations, policy relevance and their feasibility

⮚ the quality of writing

Plagiarism Detection Policy

Plagiarism (including self-plagiarism) is not allowed. Please note that this journal uses the Turnitin software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts.

We advise the prospective authors to read carefully the Publication Ethics and Malpractise Statement.
