A list of the names of authors, reviewers, and collaborators and the names of their organizations and institutional affiliations shall be sent with no explicit links between those named. The journal may use these lists for its own purposes of soliciting papers, collaboration, or other contributions, notably through occasional e-mails. Similarly, it will flag forthcoming issues. Anyonewho wishes to stop receiving these e-mails may simply ask to be removed from the list.<\/p><p><strong><br \/>2.12\u00a0 Ownership and management<\/strong><br \/>\u201cIl Sileno Edizioni\u201d publisher (www.ilsileno.it) is the owner of the journal <em><strong>Suoni<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p><p><strong><br \/>2.13\u00a0 Publishing schedule<\/strong><br \/>Two issues in a volume are published each year, in the months of July and December, after a process which starts from the diffusion of the relative Call for Papers in the same periods.<\/p><p>The Call for Paper proposals are submitted to the attention of the Editors and the Editorial Board which will evaluate their relevance and scientific value. If a Call for Papers doesn\u2019t reach a minimum number of contributions for publication, it is possible, exceptionally, to propose a Special Issue by invitation, the contributions of which must, however, be subjected to double blind peer review.<\/p><p>The journal, upon completion of the publication process, informs the authors and scholars in the field of the publication through dedicated emails and with the support of social media and relevant scientific associations. Additionally, upon request from the editors, presentations or online seminars can be organized to promote discussion and debate on the topics addressed in each issue.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cce5da1 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-default-div e-cce5da1-4fff596 \" data-id=\"cce5da1\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"cce5da1\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-id=\"cce5da1\">\n    <div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f2da71 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6f2da71\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:0,&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0,&quot;sticky_anchor_link_offset&quot;:0}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-06a383a elementor-widget elementor-widget-template\" data-id=\"06a383a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"template.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-template\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"192\" class=\"elementor elementor-192\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd3e7e9 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"fd3e7e9\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbce350 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cbce350\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;sticky&quot;:&quot;top&quot;,&quot;sticky_parent&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;sticky_on&quot;:[&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;tablet&quot;,&quot;mobile&quot;],&quot;sticky_offset&quot;:0,&quot;sticky_effects_offset&quot;:0,&quot;sticky_anchor_link_offset&quot;:0}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3938c9f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3938c9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">License\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e78130c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e78130c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 by Il Sileno Edizioni<br \/>Associazione Scientifico &#8211;
