WELCOME
The
American
University
of
Sicily
(AUSI)
aims
to
become
the
leading
institution
of
higher
education
on
the
Island
and
throughout the wider Mediterranean.
AUSI’s
new
journal,
Marenostrum
,
encourages
dialogue
between
scientists
and
non-
scientists
on
some
of
the
most
pressing
issues
of
our
day,
especially
on
topics
related
to
the
Mediterranean.

Marenostrum
encourages
the
submission
of
articles
that
bear
directly
on
contemporary
topic
related
to
the
Mediterranean.
The
papers
should
be
accessible
to
an
audience
across
disciplines and promote discussion across fields and practices.
Articles
for
submission
must
be
previously
unpublished
and
in
English
or
Italian.
Papers
should
be
well-written,
and
we
encourage
clarity.
It
is
important
that
papers
be
copy-
edited
carefully
before
submission.
In
submitting
work
to
Marenostrum
,
authors
agree
to
the
policies
of
this
journal,
including
free
access
and
use
of
the
material
published
in
it
with,
of
course,
proper
acknowledgment
of
authorship.
If
you
have
any
questions
about
whether
your
article
is
appropriate
for
CA,
send
it
directly
to
the
editor
for
a
preliminary
review.
All
articles
will
be
blind-refereed
except
when
invited.
The
decision
of
the
scientific
committee
is
final.
Because
Marenostrum
relies
on
the
generosity
of
scholars
who
contribute
their
time
to
review
articles,
we
ask
that
authors
not
submit
their
work
to
other
journals
at
the
same
time.
In
sending
work
to
Marenostrum
for
possible
publication,
the
submitter
attests
that
the
work
is
original
and
that
he
or
she
is
the
author,
that
it
has
not
been published, and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
Once
a
paper
has
been
accepted
for
publication
it
undergoes
a
careful
editorial
process
that
ensures
its
conformity
to
house
style
(capitalization,
punctuation,
endnote
formatting,
etc.)
and
the
best
practice
of
good
English
usage
in
academic
writing.
Changes
are
usually
minor
and
kept
to
a
minimum,
and
proofs
are
sent
to
the
author
for
approval
before
publication.
