Publication Ethics

Ethic rules and malpractice 

Studies submitted for publication that do not meet the scientific requirements of the Referees Committee and that do not comply with the editorial rules established by the Editorial Board will not be accepted. In accordance with the legal provisions in force, we reject and combat plagiarized articles. Another selection criterion is the originality of the texts. An article is rejected for ethical violations, even if it is published in parallel in other journals or if it has been previously presented at other conferences. The obligation to correct the materials and to comply with the technical editing regulations and the application of the provisions of the Copyright Law lies with the authors. If an author, while the article is in the peer-review process, realizes that he has made an error, he must contact the editors of the Conference or of the publication.

During the review process, editors and referees maintain the confidentiality of the author's information and data. The way in which the authors of articles and studies comply with the provisions of the Copyright Legislation, Law 199/2023 and the Internal Regulations regarding research and artistic creation can also be verified by using the plagiarism checking program accredited by the relevant Ministry (and CNCIS). The author of each article must send the editorial office a brief presentation of the research and creation activity, of the institutional affiliation.
