Ms Aurora Domeniconi Mr Michele Tempera Mr Massimiliano Del Gatto Guidelines for submissionsPECOB editorial Staff is constantly collecting proposals for scientific contributions. Any contributor willing to submit a scientific document (MA thesis, PhD dissertation, paper or article) is welcome to do it. Each proposal for PECOB Scientific Library will be first evaluated by PECOB Scientific Board od Directors and then pass through a peer review process. Positively evaluated papers and essays (texts until 100 pp.) will be given an ISSN code and become part of the "PECOB's papers series", provided that they show high scientific relevance and/or innovation in the field of academic research; whereas theses and dissertations (texts longer than 100 pp.) will be given an ISBN code and published on-line as "PECOB's volumes". If the peer review ends positively, the contribution will be edited by the editorial staff and the author will receive a proof of his/her contribution for proofreading. At this stage the author's proof corrections should only consist of typos and/or factual errors. The last step before publication requires the author to sign PECOB copyright compliance and send his/her personal data (in case he/she doesn't appear among PECOB's contributors yet).
