External or internal PhD graduates and postdoctoral fellows

Milano University Press does not accept PhD theses, as publication proposals must be in the shape of a monograph. Instructions on how to turn your thesis into a significant editorial project are available in the document How to turn your thesis into a scientific publication.

Proposal forms by PhD graduates and postdoctoral fellows must first be validated by an expert in the relevant field, who ensures the scientific value of the editorial proposal.

To submit your proposal, please send an e-mail to redazione.milanoup@unimi.it with the following attachments:

• proposal form (signed by both the proposer and the expert)
• a draft of the text as complete as possible, including at least the table of contents and two chapters of the volume.

The proposal form must be completed in full, in order to provide all the information required for assessment.

ASSESSING THE PROPOSALS

Proposals are initially vetted by the MilanoUP Editorial Board to make sure they are consistent with editorial policies. Then, the proposer is notified of the outcome of the assessment.

EDITING
After receiving notice that the proposal has been accepted, the author must submit the full text, as complete as possible and written in accordance with the MilanoUP Editorial Guidelines. Please note that the text must be redacted of all identifying information, in order to ensure anonymity during the peer-review phase.

External proposers may be asked to pay a publication fee, starting from a minimum of 1,000 euros. Any increase in price will depend on the characteristics of the volume.
