Archive

Starting with 2011, Synergies in Communication Conference Proceedings appear online. While we mainly consider for publication accepted papers presented at the International Conference Synergies in Communication, proposals coming from scholars unable to join the event may be included in the final selection.

Research misconduct

We take consistent steps to encourage and make sure that our publication rejects research misconduct and plagiarism. Authors are required to follow academic best practice, and our university and editorial board verify that accepted papers comply with international standards. Despite such efforts, in the case of a paper whose author fails to respect the work of others, the respective article(s) will be removed from that edition and the author(s) will not be accepted to submit papers again for at least two successive years. Allegations of misconduct need to reach the editorial board as soon as there is such a suspicion.
