Peer Review Process
All submitted articles are subjected to a double-blind peer-review process.
Each article will be sent out anonymously for external peer-review.
Authors are required to prepare their submissions for anonymous review.
Authors are asked to comply with Metodo's "Author Guidelines" and to follow the generally accepted norms of academic writing, including the provision of complete and accurate references.
When you submit your article, please submit a separate title page which includes the full title of the manuscript plus the names and complete contact details of all authors. This page will be accessible to the issue editors only. All other files (manuscript, figures, tables, etc.) should not contain any information that would identify the author. The names of these files and the document properties should also be anonymized.

Please follow these rules while formatting your manuscript:
-
Manuscripts should have no more than three levels of headings.
-
Headings may or may not have a title but should always have a number.
-
The first introductory paragraphs of the manuscripts may be left without heading.
-
Abbreviations should be defined at their first mentions and used consistently thereafter.
-
Abbreviations should be defined in footnotes.
-
You can use abbreviations both in footnotes and in the main text.
-
Use footnotes, not endnotes.
-
References to works quoted or mentioned in the main text should be always put in footnotes.
-
In book-reviews, authors can quote directly in the main text the book reviewed by indicating in brackets the number of the page(s) quoted.
-
Works cited in footnotes should be indicated through the author/year of publication style, followed eventually by a comma and the number of the page(s) quoted. Please do not repeat tens or hundreds if they are not needed. Example: Husserl 1913, 33-6.
-
If you are not quoting from the original edition of a book you may add the date of the original publication in square brackets. Example: Kant 1999 [1790].
