In the first instance, our journal is an international multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal that has been in publication since 2011 and publishes quality articles from any fields of Social Sciences and Humanities. We would like to emphasize that Border Crossing has switched to the “open issue” model and promises to complete the rapid refereeing process without delay according to the wishes of the authors. Thus, we publish two issues per year covering the first and second half of each year.

Ethics and Integrity in Scientific Communication

Today, a major consideration in scientific publishing is obviously ethical issues or those relating to research integrity, and key concepts around falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism are explored in this chapter, in terms of defining key principles for good research practice underpinned by the highest standards of integrity, as is expected of all researchers today. There have been many high-profile cases of controversies involving scientific papers, and key case studies are described. In addition, issues such as failure to acknowledge conflicts of interest for the authors (e.g., the Lancet study by Wakefield et al. on the link between the MMR vaccine and autism) are discussed. Likely future trends including the nature of the refereeing process and the access to experimental data are explored, and a key focus is on the rights and responsibilities of authors and coauthors.

Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Proceedings of the INFN-LNF 2018 Conference

The NEXT Nanotechnology group at INFN-Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati (LNF) has organized, since the year 2000, a yearly series of international meetings in the area of nanotechnology. The 2018 conference has been devoted to recent developments in nanoscience and their manifold technological applications. These consisted of a number of tutorial/keynote lectures, as well as research talks presenting frontier nanoscience research developments and innovative nanotechnologies in the areas of biology, medicine, aerospace, optoelectronics, energy, materials and characterizations, low-dimensional nanostructures and devices. Selected, original papers based on the 2018 conference talks and related discussions have been published, after a careful refereeing process, in the MDPI journal Condensed Matter, and are currently included in the present dedicated issue.

‘Dirty work’, but someone has to do it: Howard P. Robertson and the refereeing practices of Physical Review in the 1930s

In the 1930s the mathematical physicist Howard P. Robertson was the main referee of the journal Physical Review for papers concerning general relativity and related subjects. The rich correspondence between Robertson and the editors of the journal enables a historical investigation of the refereeing process of Physical Review at the time that it was becoming one of the most influential physics periodicals in the world. By focusing on this case study, the paper investigates two complementary aspects of the evolution of the refereeing process: first, the historical evolution of the refereeing practices in connection with broader contextual changes, and second, the attempts to define the activity of the referee, including the epistemic virtues required and the journal's functions according to the participants' categories. By exploring the tension between Robertson's idealized picture about how the referee should behave and the desire to promote his intellectual agenda, I show that the evaluation criteria that Robertson employed were contextually dependent and I argue that, in the 1930s, through his reports the referee had an enormous power in defining what direction future research should take.
