Politiche editoriali/Editorial policies
La nostra rivista fa riferimento e segue le regole dell’International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Il contenuto degli articoli non deve essere (nemmeno in parte) plagiato. Anche l’auto-plagio deve essere escluso. La rivista controllerà l’esistenza del plagio attraverso software dedicati e se, necessario, l’articolo potrà essere ritirato in qualsiasi momento. Tutti gli articoli pervenuti sono sottoposti a una revisione critica da parte del comitato scientifico, per valutarne gli aspetti formali e di contenuto. Se ritenuto necessario saranno utilizzati anche revisori esterni. Al termine della peer review, gli articoli possono essere accettati senza revisioni, accettati con revisioni minori, maggiori o essere respinti. Per gli articoli commissionati – per esempio, gli Editoriali – la revisione si limita generalmente agli aspetti formali ed è svolta solo internamente alla redazione della rivista. Il direttore editoriale detta le linee editoriali della rivista sulla base di quanto stabilito dalle direttive dell’AIPMEL e sulla base degli obiettivi dell’Associazione. Il direttore scientifico è responsabile dell’integrità del processo scientifico e della peer review per cui soltanto gli articoli che rispettano i più alti standard scientifici possono essere pubblicati. Lo Chief Editor è responsabile del controllo editoriale e scientifico e delle rubriche della redazione.
Our journal refers to and follows the rules of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). The content of the articles must not be (even partially) plagiarized. Self-plagiarism must also be avoided. The journal will check for plagiarism using dedicated software, and if necessary, the article may be retracted at any time. All submitted articles undergo a critical review by the scientific committee to assess their formal and content aspects. External reviewers may also be utilized if deemed necessary. At the end of the peer review process, articles may be accepted without revisions, accepted with minor or major revisions, or rejected. For commissioned articles, such as editorials, the review generally focuses on formal aspects and is conducted internally by the journal’s editorial team. The editorial director establishes the editorial guidelines of the journal based on the directives of AIPMEL and the objectives of the Association. The scientific director is responsible for the integrity of the scientific process and peer review, ensuring that only articles meeting the highest scientific standards are published. The Chief Editor is responsible for editorial and scientific oversight and the journal’s sections.

Principles of Best Practices
GIPMEL (GIORNALE ITALIANO DI PSICOLOGIA E MEDICINA DEL LAVORO) follows the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, a document by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA), and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) outlining 16 “principles of transparency” that contribute to best practices in Open Access publishing.
This journal subscribes to the principles of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and recommends that authors follow the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals formulated by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). Our Journal follows its Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals.
All the manuscripts published in the GIPMEL must follow the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
Edizioni FS Publisher follows the “Editorial Policy Statements”, which is a document produced by the Council of Science Editors (CSE) to cover the responsibilities and rights of editors of peer-reviewed journals, and The Publishing Ethics Resource Kit (PERK), which is an online resource to support journal editors in handling publishing ethics allegations.
Publisher copyright policies and self-archiving
Authors may make any use of their work that they wush. Edizioni FS allows authors the use of the final published version of an article for self-archiving (author’s personal website) and/or archiving in an institutional repository (or a non-profit server) immediately after publication.
All these versions of the paper are allowed to be deposited in an institutional or other repository of the authors’ choice without embargo.
- Submitted version
- Accepted version (Author Accepted Manuscript)
- Published version (Version of Record)
- Author’s pre-print: author can archive pre-print before publication
Author’s post-print: author can archive post-print (i.e. final draft post-refereeing) before publication
Publisher’s version/Pdf: author can archive publisher’s version/PDF after publication
Plagiarism Policy
While submitting the manuscript to our journal, the authors should be the copyright owner of the respective material and should not copy past anything from someone else’s work. The original work should be attributed in the form of citation. It is responsibility of the authors to assure that they are not reporting fake or fraudolent results under their authorship. The Editor in Chief can send the paper to international agencies for authentication of originality. For the plagiarised articles which might evade the peer review process will be retracted temporarily from publication. The authors will be asked to explain their point of view. In case of unsatisfactory response, the article will be permanently retracted. The notive of such retraction will be published on line immediately and in the next issue of the printed version of the Journal. GIPMEL follows the guidelines of International Commitee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) for all kind of plagiarism.
The Peer review Process
Immediately after submission, the first editorial peer review is carried out by the Scientific Director. This check is aimed to assess:
Suitability of the manuscript to the journal’s objective and scope.
Qualification and background of the authors.
Reject obviously poor manuscripts.
After the first step, papers will be subject to single blind peer review by at least two external reviewers.
Conflict of Interest
The potential for conflict of interest and bias exists when professional judgment concerning a primary interest (such as patients’ welfare or the validity of research) may be influenced by a secondary interest (such as financial gain). Perceptions of conflict of interest are as important as actual conflicts of interest.
Individuals may disagree on whether an author’s relationships or activities represent conflicts. Although the presence of a relationship or activity does not always indicate a problematic influence on a paper’s content, perceptions of conflict may erode trust in science as much as actual conflicts of interest. Ultimately, readers must be able to make their own judgments regarding whether an author’s relationships and activities are pertinent to a paper’s content. These judgments require transparent disclosures. An author’s complete disclosure demonstrates a commitment to transparency and helps to maintain trust in the scientific process.
Financial relationships (such as employment, consultancies, stock ownership or options, honoraria, patents, and paid expert testimony) are the most easily identifiable, the ones most often judged to represent potential conflicts of interest and thus the most likely to undermine the credibility of the journal, the authors, and of science itself. Other interests may also represent or be perceived as conflicts, such as personal relationships or rivalries, academic competition, and intellectual beliefs.
Authors should avoid entering in to agreements with study sponsors, both for-profit and non-profit, that interfere with authors’ access to all of the study’s data or that interfere with their ability to analyze and interpret the data and to prepare and publish manuscripts independently when and where they choose. Policies that dictate where authors may publish their work violate this principle of academic freedom. Authors may be required to provide the journal with the agreements in confidence.
All participants in the peer-review and publication process—not only authors but also peer reviewers, editors, and editorial board members of journals—must consider and disclose their relationships and activities when fulfilling their roles in the process of article review and publication.
When authors submit a manuscript of any type or format they are responsible for disclosing all relationships and activities that might bias or be seen to bias their work. The ICMJE has developed a Disclosure Form to facilitate and standardize authors’ disclosures. ICMJE member journals require that authors use this form, and ICMJE encourages other journals to adopt it.
Reviewers should be asked at the time they are asked to critique a manuscript if they have relationships or activities that could complicate their review. Reviewers must disclose to editors any relationships or activities that could bias their opinions of the manuscript, and should recuse themselves from reviewing specific manuscripts if the potential for bias exists. Reviewers must not use knowledge of the work they’re reviewing before its publication to further their own interests.
