SUBMISSION POLICIES
When you submit a manuscript to "ANNALI DI STOMATOLOGIA", it must not already be published or submitted elsewhere.

Copyright Notice
Submitted manuscripts must represent original research not previously published nor being considered for publication elsewhere. The editors combat plagiarism, double publication, and scientific misconduct.
Your manuscript may be subject to an investigation and retraction if plagiarism is suspected.
If you plan to reproduce text, tables, or figures from a published source, you must first obtain written permission from the copyright holder (usually the publisher). This is required even if the material is from your own published work. For material never before published and given to you by another person, you must obtain permission from that person. Serious delays to publication can be incurred if permissions are not obtained.
As the author, it is your responsibility to obtain all permissions, pay any permission fees, furnish copies of permissions to “ANNALI DI STOMATOLOGIA” with your manuscript, and include a credit line at the end of the figure caption, beneath the table, or in a text footnote.
