Workflow for publishing in open accessThe corresponding authors are considered 'eligible' for open access publication only if, during the submission phase, they select the Scuola Normale as their affiliation and use their institutional e-mail address (@sns.it). This ensures they are identified as authors affiliated with the Scuola Normale on the 'Rightslink for Scientific Communications' platform (by CCC - Copyright Clearance Center), which is integrated into the publisher’s website. 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.
