The referees will be either members of the advisory board, the editorial board or the editorial staff, or scholars not linked to the journal, both Italian and foreigner. This way, La Valle dell’Eden/East of Eden chooses a system of open review, in the perspective of a broad and agile discussion with contributors, in order to promote a non ritual and not too long review process, with a frank and productive dialogue between the authors and the journal.
