Guide for Authors

The office provides editorial assistance, technical support for word processing programmes and support in the preparation of camera-ready documents for submission to journals or for presentations at conferences. It also provides graphical support for posters, books and other documents.

Only write-ups of research work carried out at the Centre (or partly prepared) can be considered for publication as an ICTP preprint or report.

  • Hand the authorization form together with a hard copy of your paper to a referee for authorization. The referee can be an ICTP senior member or the Organizer/Director of an activity
  • The signed authorization form plus a hard copy of your paper must be given to the Publications Office, for processing
  • All files should be sent, as attachments, to: Publications Office

Authors please note

Please remember to forward also any personal style files or journal style files used to prepare your article. The Publications Office will take care of preparing the paper in the ICTP standard layout.

Journal submission
