Guidelines for submissions to “Rapporti Tecnici INGV”

“Rapporti Tecnici INGV” publish original contributions, both in Italian and in English, of technological nature, such as applications and instrumental innovations, data collection techniques, manuals and software, mainly developed in the various disciplinary fields of the INGV and addressed to technical-scientific users. However, the works must be comprehensible even to non-specialist readers, for which an appropriate classification of the contribution is requested in the context of the general activities of the specific disciplinary field.

In the case of Rapporti Tecnici concerning the creation of software, the authors undertake to make the application and / or the code available on request, provided that such software is entirely original and does not include routines or non-free distribution applications. This commitment will be written at the end of the published work.

Manuscripts should be submitted through the OJS platform after registration.

All the reports with the editorial staff regarding correspondence and any requests for intervention on manuscripts in progress will be kept through the OJS platform.

In compliance with the topics discussed, the Editor in Chief entrusts the manuscript to an Associate Editor who identifies one or more referees to perform the revision of the manuscript, on the basis of the quality of contents and compliance with the guidelines.
