The articles submitted through the journal’s website will undergo two different evaluation processes: the first one will be done by the Editorial Board that is responsible to verify the accordance to the author guidelines available on our website; if the article is accepted, it will be forwarded to a double-blind evaluation process.

On the second process — blind peer review — the article may be approved, approved with necessary corrections or rejected.

In any case the editorial decision and reviews will be sent to the author by email — in case of co-authorship, to the main email registered during the submission process. In case the article is approved with necessary corrections, the author will have 5 business days to send the corrected article by email, and it will be again analyzed by the editorial board.

PLAGIARISM DETECTION

Every article submitted to the Journal will be previously checked by the plagiarism detector Ephorus (Turnitin). The articles rejected by the software will be analyzed in depth by the Editorial Staff and, when necessary, the staff will request further information to the author.
