Privacy Statement

Data management and protection policies
The collection of personal data about registered and unregistered users of the journal is limited to the standard operating purposes of all peer-reviewed scientific journals. Thus, only information essential for the evaluation and publication procedures of contributions is collected; to inform readers about authorship and editorial processing of content; and to delineate in aggregate and anonymous form readers' preferences for articles, as well as their national and geographical origin. They are then used exclusively for scholarly communication purposes.

The Editorial Board uses the data only to manage the workflow and to improve the quality of the journal. The data may be shared in part with OJS developers (PKP), always in an anonymous and aggregated form, with the sole exception of publication, consultation and download metrics of contributions. The data will never be used for commercial purposes or for purposes other than those stated here, either by the Journal, the publisher, or PKP. 

Authors who publish in the journal are responsible for the data they report regarding persons mentioned in their scientific contributions.

The management of the journal complies with data protection standards, including the provisions of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) regarding "data owner rights," which include (a) breach notification; (b) right of access; (c) right to be forgotten; (d) data portability; and (e) privacy by design. 

After all, even the GDPR recognizes the "public interest in the availability of data," which is of particular relevance to all those who are committed to ensuring, with as much integrity as possible, the public visibility of the products of scientific research.
