Post-publication debate and management of any changes and corrections to published articles

In accordance with the journal's objectives of scientific research, in-depth study and comparison on the various fields of interest of Italian studies, cultural studies, translation from and into Italian, etc., our journal encourages initiatives to create, enhance and stimulate debate following the publication of contributions. In particular, all the editorial organs of the journal are actively engaged in stimulating the submission of new contributions that may enrich the discussion on the topics covered, possibly also in the form of letters to the editors.

Should the author of an already published contribution express a desire to make changes or corrections to the text, the editorial bodies of the journal undertake to make such interventions possible only if they are editorial errors that do not affect the content or in exceptional circumstances that are adequately justified. In the latter case, a correction note may be published.
