3. Works submitted by the author/s for publication in the journal cannot be submitted to and published in another journal unless the republication mentions Synergeia as a source and the authorship properly attributed.
4. Authors reserve the right to post or deposit the works published in Synergeia in a subject or institutional repository or in a volume of their own work provided that their authorship is acknowledged and Synergeia is cited as the source publication.

7. When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, the author must promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and shall oblige the editor in retracting or correcting the paper. Should an error be reported by a third party, it falls upon the author to promptly retract or correct the paper, or provide evidence to the editor to verify the correctness of the original paper.
