Ethics policy

Practices contrary to scientific integrity and research ethics (plagiarism, reproduction of work already published, defamation, conflict of interest)

The journal adheres toThe European Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, developed by the All European Academies - ALLEA. Among the main practices contrary to scientific integrity are the production and falsification of research data and plagiarism, such as the reproduction of previously published work without mentioning the source. The journal's editorial bodies undertake to monitor these types of practices, both preventively and, if necessary, by withdrawing articles already published. Reviewers are asked to pay special attention to this aspect.

Zibaldone always assesses the possible presence of content that could damage the reputation of an individual or organisation, it being understood that freedom of expression remains one of the main values of the journal's code of ethics. Likewise, transparency is safeguarded in cases of potential conflict of interest.
