In order to select manuscripts for publication, a panel of anonymous readers will act as referees. Submission of a manuscript to Studi Emigrazione is taken to indicate the Author's commitment to publish in this journal. Studi Emigrazione has the right to first publication of all submitted manuscripts and no papers published by another journal will be taken into consideration.

Authors are not paid for their contribution; upon publication, all rights are owned by CSER – Centro Studi Emigrazione. Manuscripts, even those which remain unpublished, are not returned to Authors.
