This Editorial Statute defines the general framework for the journal’s operation and identifies the policies regulating the submission, review, editing, and publication of manuscripts.

Editorial independence

The journal carries out its editorial activity with full scientific autonomy.

Editorial decisions are based on:

• the scientific and methodological quality of the manuscripts;
• originality and contribution to the advancement of knowledge;
• academic relevance;
• suitability to the journal’s scientific scope;
• clarity of presentation and conceptual rigour.
