Instructions to the Authors

Submission of papers
     Manuscripts, one original + two copies, accompanied by a covering letter, are to be sent to Fondazione Giorgio Ronchi, Via San Felice a Ema 20, 50125 Firenze, Italy, together with a version on a floppy disk. Please, use WORD style, avoid LATEX for the text, avoid Postscript for figures.
     The electronic version may also be sent to ronchi@infinito.it.

Manuscript preparation
     All manuscripts should be typed with double line spacing on one side of the page only and wide margins, on numbered sheets. The titles must be in the original language, accompanied by an English translation. In every case, an abstract in English should accompany the abstract in the original language. The abstract has not exceed 200 words.
     The classification according to the subjects listed in Purposes section will be appreciated. Name and surname, complete postal address, telephone and fax numbers and e-mail address of each author should be given on the first page of the manuscript.

     References are to be consecutively numbered in the text using rounded parenthesis (square brackets are left to formulas and equations and written on the left of the page) and listed in the References at the end of paper. For papers of history of science the rules to be followed are those usually adopted in such a discipline.
     The preferred languages are English and Italian. But papers in French, German and Spanish are also welcome.

Illustrations
     Tables and Figures with their captions may be included in the text or put at the end of the manuscript.
     Illustrations should also be submitted in triplicate (one master and two sets of copies). The line drawings in the master should be original laser printer or plotter output or drawn in black india ink, with careful lettering large enough to remain legible after reduction for printing. The photographs should be originals, with somewhat more contrast than is required in the printed version.
     Figures may be published in colour, if this is judged essential by the author. The author will bear part of extra costs involved.
     Figures are to be as "clean" as possible, most of the lettering being put in the captions.

Author benefits
     Publishing in Atti della Fondazione Giorgio Ronchi is free.
     The authors will receive 15 offprints free of charge (to be divided among the authors). An offprint order form will be supplied by the Publisher together with the galley proofs, for ordering of any additional paid offprints.
