DUTIES OF AUTHORS
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.

Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice

DUTIES OF EDITORS
The editor-in-chief of Confluente is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. He/she may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

DUTIES OF REVIEWERS
Reviewers assist the editor-in-chief in making editorial decisions. They also assist (through editorial communication) authors to improve their papers.
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Referees should express their opinion clearly and with supporting arguments.

Peer review policy

Our journal advocates double blind peer-review system. The quality of the research article is the single argument taken into account when operating the selection of articles.
The administration of the peer-review process is the attribution of the reviews editors. The sender of the manuscript does not know the names of the reviewers of his/her particular case, only the complete list of reviewers.
The complete list of reviewers will be included in every other issue .The general editor may supplement the initial list of reviewers, if necessary.
