About the journal
Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
|
The "Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia" was founded in 1895. It publishes original papers dealing with all fields of paleontology and micropaleontology, stratigraphy, biostratigraphy and sedimentology, mostly from the Italian and Mediterranean region, but also from other Tethyan areas, like for example Central Asia and Himalaya. All papers are written in English, and are reviewed by international experts. A section of the Rivista is devoted to books review.
The Rivista is currently indexed and abstracted by AGI, ISI, Current Contents, Georef, Geological Abstract and SciSearch. |

aspects of palaeontology and stratigraphy. Submission of a manuscript implies that the article is
original, unpublished and not submitted for publication elsewhere. The language must be English,
either American or British English is accepted but consistency in spelling is required throughout
the manuscript. |
Acceptance for publication is subject to the approval of the Editorial Board. The text should not

| Review process
All submitted papers will be revised at least by two referees. Consequently, three copies of
the manuscript and illustrations must be provided when submitting the paper.
Names of potential referees may be suggested by the authors, the final choice however, is
made by the Editor. Originals of photos and drawing must be retained by the author(s)
until acceptance. |
| Proofs
The author (the corresponding author in case of joint authored papers) will receive
one set of proofs, that should be checked and sent back to the Editorial Office within a week
from receipt, also by fax. Delay in returning the proofs may cause shifting in the publication
schedule. Changes in proofs not related to printer errors are strongly discouraged, and the costs
of heavy changes will be charged to the author(s). |
| Reprints
25 free of charge reprints are supplied for each paper. Additional reprints may
be ordered when sending back the checked proofs. Prices of reprints vary according to the
number of printed pages and are listed on the back cover of each issue of the Rivista. |
| Manuscript preparation
Following carefully the instructions here reported will greatly speed up manuscript processing
and consequently the publication schedule. Significant discrepancieswith the following guidelines
may oblige the Editorial Staff to return the manuscript unprocessed to the author(s).
Text - The text must be organized as follows: 1) Titlepage, containing the title of the paper,
name(s) of the author(s) (first name not abbreviated), affiliation including full address and
e-mail,. 2) Key words, abstract in Italian (for non- Italian authors the English abstract may be
translated by the Editorial Office), abstract in English, body of the text, acknowledgements,
references, 3) captions of the figures, tables and plates. Sections1), 2) and 3) should begin
on a new page.
The text must be double spaced, with a margin of at least 2.5 cm on each side and not justified
on the right side.
Pages must be numbered. International SI system must be used throughout the paper. All
acronyms or abbreviations must be explained when used for the first time or in a special
section at the beginning of the text. Figures and plates belonging to the paper must be quoted
as Fig., Tab. and Pl.; figures in Plates are to be quoted as Pl., fig.; when referring to figures
belonging to other papers use fig., tab. and pl., respectively.
Abstract -The abstract should not exceed 250 words and must be informative with facts
ideas and conclusions, without references. All the new palaeontological taxa should be reported.
Key words -the key words should not exceed 10 and should be an explanation of the
title, adding information, not being simply a repetition of the words used in the title.
Headings - Use a maximum of three kinds of headings, hierarchically arranged in the
following way:
- First order headings Bold, beginning at the left margin. The text begins on the
following line
- Second order headings. Normal type, left margin. Text beginning on the following line.
- Third order headings (to be used as less as possible): italic, left margin, text following
- on the same line.
Footnotes - No footnotes are allowed. All must be explained in the body of the text.
Bibliographic quotations - They must be as follows: (Smith 1989); Smith (1989, pp.23-27)
Smith (1989) stated that ...; (Smith & Ross 1981); (Smith et al. 1983). Do not italicize
words other than generic and specific names, latin words of common use like et al.,
sensu, etc. must be typed in normal character.
Systematic palaeontology - The taxonomic descriptions should include the systematic
categories concerning the adopted classification (conventional or cladistic), followed
by the name of the author(s), year of publication, reference to illustrations, and synonimy
as follows:
| 1879 Ostrea tenuiplicata Seguenza, p.123, pl.12, fig. 1a,b. |
|
1886 Dymia tenuiplicata - Dale, p.231, pl. 3, fig.3-5. |
The text should follow with the list of the examined material, diagnosis (if required)
description, discussion, range and distribution of the species and the provenance of the
material. If a new genus is described, the section should be headed with the name of the
new genus as follows:
followed by origin of the name, diagnosis, comparisons with related genera, type species
and range.
If a new species is described, the paragraph should be headed as follows:
| Emiliomya malnatensis n.sp. |
followed by references to illustrations, origin of the name, type specimens (holotype and
paratypes), type horizon, type locality, repository, diagnosis, description, comparisons with
related species and range of the new species.
Stratigraphic sections - When describing stratigraphic sections, the author(s) is(are) asked
to follow this scheme:
(top to bottom):
4) black cherty limestone...(9 m);
3) grey dark limestone... (30 m);
References - Only the cited papers must be reported in the reference list, in alphabetical
order, according to the following examples.

and Eurasia in Tibet, China as the eastern section of the Tethys.

Illustrations - All figures must be numbered in the same order as quoted in the text.
Figure captions should be printed on separate page(s). Composite text figure should contain
references for each single figure (number or letter in the low right corner).Numbers and/or
letters in the figures must be of good quality, no typewriting is allowed. Originals of the text
figures should be ready for printing, avoiding as much as possible empty spaces. Size
of lettering should be compatible with final reduction.
The maximum size for drawings and photos is 17.5x25 cm. Final width for drawings
may be 8.4 cm (one column) or 12 cm or 17.5 cm: colour and/or folded illustrations or
tables should be avoided unless absolutely necessary, their cost will be charged to the
author(s).
Originals should be retained by the author(s) until acceptance of the manuscript. For the
review process, line drawings can be sent as high quality photocopies and the pictures and
halftones as glossy print.
Please quote the name of the author(s) on the reverse of each photo or drawing as well the
number of the figure.
The size of the plates is 17.5x25 cm.If the plate is composite, please try to obtain the same
intensity in each picture. Do not join in a plate computer printed photos with normal photos:
it creates serious quality problems in final printing.
Tables are printed as film and not composed by the printer, thus they must be camera ready;
the author(s) should carefully consider the format and reduction rate. |
| Submission of electronic text
The final version of the manuscript must be sent both as hard copy and with electronic
support 3,5 HD floppy disks and CD are accepted.
IMPORTANT: The format and program used must be for PC and not for Macintosh.
All files sent as Mac files will be sent back unprocessed to the author(s) for conversion.
Word for the text and Corel Draw for the drawings are preferred. Halftones and photos
may also be sent as Tiff or Jpg files with the highest possible resolution (not less than 600dpi)
The diskette(s) must be sent only AFTER the final acceptance of the paper. Program used
and file names must be clearly indicated on the disk. Manuscripts may be sent also as e-mail
attachments, if they written in Word for Windows. Please make sure that the text in the
