Engramma is a peer reviewed journal inspired by the publishing ethical code developed by COPE: Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors

Editors’ Responsibilities

Publishing decisions
The editors of Engramma issues are responsible for the decision to publish submitted articles. Editors may consult with external reviewers to make the final decision.

Fair Play
Editors evaluate the articles based on their contents without regard to the authors’ race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, ethnic origin, citizenship, and political orientation.

Confidentiality
Editors and other collaborators of the Journal commit to not disclosing information on submitted material to people besides the authors, the external reviewers, and the editors.

Conflict of interest and disclosure
Editors commit to not using contents of submitted articles in their research without the authors’ written consent.

Reviewers’ Responsibilities

Contribution to editorial decisions
Peer review is a process that helps the editors to make decisions on submitted articles, while also allowing authors to improve their contributions.

Time management
Reviewers who either do not deem themselves qualified or capable to carry out the review on time are required to promptly inform the editorial staff of the Journal.

Confidentiality
Every paper assigned for peer reviewing is to be considered confidential. All papers must not be discussed with other people without the editors’ explicit consent.

Objectivity
Peer review should be conducted in an objective, methodologically sound manner. Personal judgments on the authors are not accepted. Peer reviewers are required to give adequate reasons for their opinions by filling out the form provided by the editors.

Reviewers are expected to indicate any relevant bibliographical titles that may have been overlooked by the authors. Reviewers are also expected to report on any similarities between submitted papers and other works known to them.

Confidential information, or any information obtained during the process of peer reviewing, must be considered confidential and cannot be used for personal purposes. When accepting articles, reviewers must avoid conflict of interest due to previous collaboration or competition with the authors and/or their affiliated institutions.

Authors’ Responsibilities

Data access and preservation
If editors find it appropriate, authors are required to make sources or data on which their research is based available. By doing so, information can be kept for a reasonable period of time after publication and made available for further research.

Co-authors – all those who have significantly contributed the concept, organization, implementation and development of the research behind the article – must be indicated. Other people that have taken part in any stages of the research should have their contributions acknowledged with an explicit mention. Authors who send contributions co-written by different people are required to declare that they have correctly identified the names of all co-authors, and that all co-authors have approved the final version of the article and given their consent to publication in Engramma. Authors retain the rights to all they publish and, in particular, the rights to re-publish their articles in reprints or reissues. However, they are expected to state that the first edition of their contributions was published in Engramma.

Conflict of interest and disclosure

Errors in published articles
If and when authors identify relevant errors or inaccuracies in their articles, they are required to inform the Journal editors as soon as possible and to provide them with all the information necessary for corrections.

Editorial Procedures 

Sending in contributions and Editing rules

Engramma has a Scientific Committee composed of internationally renowned scholars in the field of Humanity Studies: Ancient and Classical Antiquity Studies, History of Art, Architecture, Philosophy, Anthropology, History of Theater, Drama and Cinema. Contributions published by Engramma monthly are selected by the editors through call for papers, individual invitations, and authors’ suggestions. Proposals for papers to be published in Engramma must be sent to classica@iuav.it. The Journal does not apply any fees for article submission or publication. Essays must be submitted in a format that follows the Editorial Guidelines for authors. After submission, each essay is subjected to the Editorial Procedures and Stages. Publication conforms to the rules of the Code of Ethics adopted by the Journal.

Editorial Procedures and Stages

The procedures and stages of the scientific review of incoming papers (in response to call for papers or by authors’ initiative) are as follows:

stage I | Analysis of the paper by the members of the Editorial staff and members of the Scientific Committee. If the paper is deemed worthy of consideration, the evaluation process moves on to the next stage;

stage 2 | Authors are sent a first trial answer with possible detailed suggestions by members of the Editorial staff and / or Scientific Committee for an improvement of their papers. If authors accept the suggestions and send a revised version of their contributions that conforms to them (or if the paper was considered positively tout court), the evaluation process moves on to the next stage;

stage 3 | The essay is sent to two (or more) external reviewers for blind peer assessment. If the paper is approved by both reviewers, the evaluation process moves on to the final stage. If the paper is approved by only one reviewer, it is assessed either by a third external expert, or by the Scientific Committee. In any case, the final decision to public a contribution is entrusted to the Editorial Board. Authors are expected to consider all suggestions and revisions coming from the reviewers.

stage 4 | All contributions approved by both the editors / Scientific Committee and the reviewers are laid out after the authors correct them. Authors may ask to see the graphic layout of their articles before publication. Editors may also submit the final article layout to the authors for approval. 

Plagiarism check

The Journal’s Editorial Board is committed to identifying and preventing the publication of articles in which research misconduct has occurred, particularly in relation to plagiarism and self-plagiarism. More specifically, before submission to the reviewers, the Editorial Board, also drawing on the advice of the Scientific Committee

I. checks that the article submitted by the author for publication does not contain elements of plagiarism;

II. checks that the article submitted by the author for publication does not contain elements of self-plagiarism, i.e. the repetition of substantial passages from articles published elsewhere by the same author; such passages may be re-published only with a declaration identifying the parts, or concepts that have already been published.

If the Journal’s Editorial Board becomes aware of any allegations of research misconduct, including allegations of plagiarism or self-plagiarism, the Journal can either reject previously accepted articles, or ask the editors and publishers to be prepared to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions, and apologies when necessary.
