Processo di Peer Review

Guida per gli autori

Lebenswelt è una rivista dell’Università degli Studi di Milano a comitato di lettura.

Potranno essere pubblicati anche saggi su invito.

I saggi saranno valutati da almeno 2 referees, in base al giudizio dei quali il lavoro sarà accettato per la pubblicazione, respinto, oppure risottoposto all’autore perché possa apportarvi correzioni. La decisione finale sarà comunicata all’autore entro 6 mesi dalla data di ricezione del saggio.

I saggi proposti devono essere inediti.

Sottoponendo il proprio saggio a Lebenswelt, l’autore certifica che esso non sia né già stato pubblicato né in corso di pubblicazione.

Eventuali immagini destinate a comparire nel saggio possono essere riprodotte solo se libere da limiti dovuti a copyright. Spetta all’autore segnalare quali immagini abbiano bisogno di autorizzazione e provvedere a fornire quest’ultima.

Il testo deve essere sottoposto a Lebenwelt nella sua versione finale, seguendo le indicazioni delle norme editoriali.

Frequenza di pubblicazione

La rivista ha frequenza semestrale con due uscite all'anno. Gli articoli della rivista verranno pubblicati come parte di un numero completo, e con un sommario definitivo.

Linee guida riguardanti etica e illeciti di pubblicazione

The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential model for Lebenswelt.

It is necessary to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer and the publisher.

Publication decisions

The editor of the Lebenswelt is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published.

The editor may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Fair play

An editor at any time evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality

The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.

Promptness

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

Duties of Authors

Reporting standards

Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention

If applicable, authors are asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others, that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication

An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behaviour and is unacceptable.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

Fundamental errors in published works

When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper.

Archiviazione

L'Università degli Studi di Milano ha un accordo di archiviazione con le Biblioteche Nazionali Centrali di Firenze e Roma nell'ambito del progetto nazionale Magazzini Digitali.

La rivista ha attivato il servizio PKP PN (Preservation Network) per conservare i contenuti digitali attraverso il loro trasferimento al progetto LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe).

 

Misure antiplagio

Gli editor hanno il compito di agire tempestivamente in caso di errori e comportamenti scorretti, accertati o presunti, sia nei confronti dei contributi pubblicati che di quelli ancora da pubblicare. In caso di errori, pubblicazione fraudolenta o plagio, negli articoli pubblicati o durante il processo di pubblicazione, verranno prese le misure appropriate, seguendo le raccomandazioni e le linee guida di di COPE. Le correzioni avverranno con il dovuto risalto, inclusa la pubblicazione di un erratum (errori nel processo di pubblicazione), rettifica (errori degli autori) o, nei casi più gravi, il ritiro del lavoro interessato. I documenti ritirati verranno conservati online e saranno contrassegnati in modo ben visibile come ritrattazione in tutte le versioni online, incluso il PDF, a garanzia di trasparenza verso i lettori.
