Editorial Process
1. Initial review
After sending us your piece, we will get back to you within 1-3 days, informing you whether or not we are able to include it in the upcoming / future editions.
2. Editorial assessment
The editing team will send back a revised version of your article, taking into consideration the Agorà writing style, clarity, relevance and length.
3. Collaborative editing
Based on whether or not the article is ready, there will be a back-and-forth process between you and the editing team to refine the piece, ensuring complete satisfaction between both parties.
4. Final approval
The Editor-in-Chief, along with the Directors, provide final approval before publication, ensuring the article is clear, fits Bocconi University standards and is respectful to students from across the world.
Style Guidelines
Content
Use Standard UK English, and follow a word count between 800-1000 words.
Tone and voice
Maintain an intellectual, yet accessible tone. George Orwell’s rules are embraced: use short words, avoid metaphors, cut unnecessary words, and prefer the active voice.
Abbreviations & acronyms
Spell out on first use (e.g. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)), then abbreviate thereafter — unless the term (like NATO) is widely recognized. When introducing a figure, include first the title and full name: German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, before writing Merz.
Attribution
Always credit sources, quotes, and any previously published material with proper attribution.
International usage
Italicise words from foreign languages: avant-guarde, derrière. People whose mother tongue is a romance language often overcomplicate English grammar. Although technically grammatically correct, try to simplify sentences (Use periods, and avoid run-on sentences).
Ethics & Integrity
Agorà is committed to the highest standards of journalistic integrity. We do not accept plagiarism, fabrication, or misrepresentation of sources. All contributors must disclose potential conflicts of interest and maintain editorial independence.
Agorà is a publication produced by students in Bocconi University. All articles must adhere to the standards and rules of the university.
