Workflow for publishing in open accessThe corresponding author may choose to publish his or her work in open access only if at the submission stage he or she selects the Scuola Normale as organisation of affiliation and utilises his or her SNS e-mail address @sns.it, so as to be identified as an author affiliated with the Scuola Normale also on the dedicated Rightslink for Scientific Communications platform of the CCC (Copyright Clearance Center) integrated with the publisher’s web site. The affiliation is verified and validated by the referents of the Scuola Normale.
The validation of the corresponding author takes into account the date of acceptance of the article on the part of the publisher independently of the date of the first submission.
