Peer Review Process
All submissions are subject to double blind peer review. The two reviewers are typically a member of our editorial board (or a professor in our department appointed by the board) and an appropriate external expert (Italian or foreign) appointed by the board. The board will request a further review if the two default reviews substantially disagree.
- For volumes of collected papers (e.g. conference proceedings) di/segni relies on the editors’ evaluations, which must be approved in a meeting of the board.
- For reprints, the board’s favourable opinion and the former publisher’s acquittance are sufficient.
- Proposals that have not been commissioned by the board or that have not been submitted by one of its members are presented to the board. If the proposal is accepted for submission and its subject exceeds the competences of the board’s members, the review process is taken up by two external expert (Italian or foreign).
Our peer review process aims to guarantee the scientific quality of our publications. There are no limitations on language sections. We particularly welcome submissions in languages other than Italian.
Plagiarism
Editors have a duty to act promptly in case of errors and misconducts, both proven and alleged. This duty extends to both published and unpublished papers. In case such as errors in articles or in the publication process, fraudulent publication or plagiarism, appropriate steps will be taken, following the recommendations, guidelines and flowcharts from di COPE. Corrections will happen with due prominence, including the publication of an erratum (errors from the publication process), corrigendum (errors from the Author(s)) or, in the most severe cases, the retraction of the affected work. Retracted papers will be retained online, and they will be prominently marked as a retraction in all online versions, including the PDF, for the benefit of future readers.
