Ethics of publications

Journal complies with the requirements established by the International Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which can be found on the COPE website.

Principles of ethics of the editor and publisher

When making a decision on publication, the editorial board is guided by the reliability of the submitted data and the scientific significance of the considered work.

The intellectual content of the manuscripts is assessed regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, origin, citizenship, social status or political views of the authors.

Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts are not used for personal purposes and are not passed on to third parties without the written consent of the author. Information from submitted manuscripts remains confidential and is not used for personal gain.

The editors do not publish the manuscript if there is reason to believe that it is plagiarism.

The editors do not leave unanswered claims concerning the considered manuscripts or published materials, and in the event of a conflict take all necessary measures to restore the violated rights.

Principles of reviewer ethics

The manuscript received for review is considered a confidential document that cannot be passed on for review or discussion to third parties who do not have the authority to do so.

The reviewer gives an objective and reasoned assessment of the results of the study. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable.

Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts are not used by the reviewer for personal purposes.

A reviewer who, in his opinion, does not have sufficient qualifications to evaluate the manuscript, or if it cannot be objective, in particular in the event of a conflict of interest with the author or organization, must notify the editors with a request to exclude it from the review process.

Principles of ethics of the author of a scientific publication

The author (authors) of the article must provide reliable results of the research. Deliberate representation of false or falsified data is unacceptable.

The author must ensure that the results of the study presented in the submitted manuscript are completely original. Borrowed data must be made with the obligatory indication of the author and the original source. Plagiarism in any form is unethical and unacceptable. The article should provide references to the work that was relevant to the study.

Authors should not submit a manuscript that has previously been submitted to another publication and is currently under review, as well as an article already published in another publication.

The co-authors of the article should indicate all persons who have made a significant contribution to the study.

If the author finds errors or inaccuracies in the article at the stage of its consideration or after its publication, he must notify the editors as soon as possible.
