Working Paper User’s Guide
Definition
A Working Paper is a preliminary scientific or scholarly document, that could be submitted to a peer reviewed
conference or academic journal.
Purpose
The Working Papers series was established to facilitate the timely dissemination of research produced within
the Research Areas of IMT to the scientific and academic community, both national and international.
The series only publishes scientific or scholarly works that are in final or nearly final form. They should be
appropriate for submission to a national or international journal. This also applies to reports and presentations
given at conferences waiting to be published in the conference proceedings, collected, or otherwise.
The following materials are not appropriate for inclusion in the Working Paper Series: notes, course materials,
exercises or parts of research reports or theses that have not been substantially reworked.
Scientific Areas
IMT has established two Working Papers series, one for each Research Area of IMT and the research carried
out by its members.
Submission
Authors are to submit the paper to a designated representative of the relevant Research Area, attaching
thereto the assessment by at least one authoritative scholars in the relevant field, to be selected by the author
him or herself.
Once evaluated and approved by the representative of the Research Area, the publication will be made public
in the IMT EPrints institutional repository.
Format and Presentation
Each Working Papers Series is assigned an identification code (print and online ISSN).
Once the paper has been evaluated and approved, the author must send a copy of the article in pdf format to
the manager of EPrints, who will compile the official coverpage of the IMT Working Paper Series and add it to
the relevant document.
It is recommended that all texts in word format should be written in Tahoma font, size 10. The Latex text
should be written in the following document class: \documentclass[11pt,twoside,a4paper]{article}.
The template will be available at the Library.
The author(s) must provide the EPrints manager with the following bibliographic information:
Title; Subtitle; Author(s); Affiliation, membership and email address; Research Area; Abstract; classification
specification (e.g. JEL classification).

The approved documents are numbered in sequential order, deposited in the IMT Working Papers section of
the Eprints reserved for each Research Area, published online and made available for free download in pdf
format.
Distribution
IMT Working Paper Series are accessible via Internet in the IMT Eprints institutional repository.
Once the Working Paper has been deposited in EPrints, the author has the option of submitting it to other
disciplinary repositories. In this case, the author is responsible for providing the manager of Eprints with the
information pertaining to deposit in the other repository, such as DOI, URI and URL.
In the case that the Technical Report is presented at conference or published in a journal or book, the author
should inform the Eprints manager thereof.
Copyright
It is the responsibility of the individual author to safeguard the copyright of the document and to exercise the
rights and responsibilities pertaining thereto.
