    • These criteria refer to previous publications in print or digital form, and in any language.

    The authors agree not to submit their manuscript simultaneously in more than one journal for evaluation since the submitted work does not contain illegal material and / or selected parts of other scientific documents (from the author or from another) must be correctly quoted, not violate any right and must not constitute more than 30% of the content of the article.
