Submission Preparation Checklist

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration (or an explanation has been provided in Comments to the Editor).
• The author declares that she/he has read and accepted the journal's Guidelines (PEMS) about publishing ethics (https://www.rivisteweb.it/publisherEthics).
• The author declares that no artificial intelligence systems were used in the production of this article, except as a mere aid and, in any case, in full compliance with legislation on copyright and transparency in the use of artificial intelligence. Subject to this guarantee, the author undertakes to declare any auxiliary use of AI (such as the creation of indexes, notes or keywords, the creation of images or the writing of portions), the modalities and purposes of which will be declared at the time the article is submitted to the Journal.
• The author warrants not to input, process or otherwise use the article (in whole or in part) – or to permit third parties to do so – through artificial intelligence tools or systems, unless such tools or systems ensure, through appropriate contractual, organisational and technical safeguards, that the article is not communicated, disseminated or made accessible to third parties in any form; it is not used, even in aggregated or anonymised form, for the purposes of training, developing, improving or validating AI models, algorithms or systems; it is not retained for longer than is strictly necessary for the performance of the service requested by the Author.
• The submission file is in OpenOffice, Microsoft Word, or RTF document file format.
• The text is single-spaced; uses a 12-point font (Times New Roman); employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
• The text adheres to the stylistic and bibliographic requirements outlined in the Author Guidelines.
• The author declares that she/he has obtained the necessary written authorizations to reproduce any illustrations and photographs accompanying the article and that they have delivered a copy to the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal.
