Editorial Process
TRIBELON accepts proposals for high-level scientific contributions, evaluated by an international scientific committee and subjected to a careful review and refereeing process. Contributions have to focus on issues of concern to the journal. The journal promotes the quality and transparency of the selection and review procedures for submitted articles. This selection and evaluation mechanism promotes the quality of contributions by supporting the updating and dialogue of scientific research.
To ensure transparency, authors are required to specify funding sources and detail requirements for ethical research in the submitted manuscript (see Author Guidelines). All authors must confirm that they fit the definition of an author (see Authorship Guidelines), during submission.

Criteria for acceptance
TRIBELON Journal publishes research papers, review essays, interviews. The main criteria for acceptance of submitted work are originality, scholarly rigor, significance for further inquiry, quality of presentation, and consistency with the topic and approach of the section or of the call.
- Article submission: Scientific Director, Associate Director, in collaboration with the Editorial Team, checks the proposals to assess coherence and suitability to the journal issue, and accept or decline the article. The full text of the selected papers will start the process of double blind peer review.
- Double-blind review procedure: All articles - whether invited, in response to a call, or autonomously submitted - undergo a double-blind peer review process. The final decision on publication is taken by the Editorial and Scientific Board, on the basis of the peer review results. When submitting an article, authors are requested to place their name and affiliation on a separate page.
Self-identifying citations and references in the article text should either be avoided or left blank when manuscripts are first submitted. Authors are responsible for reinserting self-identifying citations and references when manuscripts are prepared for final submission. The Board is committed to communicate to authors the results of the review process within four months from the article's submission.
Authors must submit contributions that have not been published previously in other journals, nor in any other form of communication. TRIBELON considers articles published elsewhere as long as the authors assume full responsibility for the copyright terms, relieving TRIBELON any burden on it.
A plagiarism check is performed using Crossref Similarity Check (iThenticate), to ensure the originality of submitted manuscripts.
