Author responsibilities
1. Requirements for papers
1.1. The authors of the original research report should provide reliable results and an objective discussion of the significance of the study. The data underlying the work must be presented accurately. The work should contain sufficient details and bibliographic references for possible reproduction. False or knowingly erroneous statements are perceived as unethical behavior and unacceptable.
1.2. Reviews and scholarly articles should also be accurate and objective, and the editorial board’s point of view should be clearly indicated.
2. Data access and storage
The editorial board may request raw data related to the paper from the authors for review by the editors. Authors should be prepared to provide open access to this kind of information, if feasible, and in any case be prepared to retain this data for an adequate period of time after publication.
3. Originality and plagiarism
3.1. The journal strictly requires that the published articles are original and do not contain plagiarism, therefore we ask the authors to carefully consider the design of links, citations, and indicate all the authors of the submitted materials. The editorial board should note that plagiarism is unacceptable in academia. In accordance with the editorial policy, the presence of plagiarism in the submitted material makes it impossible to publish this text, as well as other articles by the author in the future. The editorial board, when reviewing an article, can check the paper using an anti-plagiarism system. English-language papers may also be checked in the plagiarism verification program “iThenticate”.
3.2. Plagiarism can exist in many forms, from presenting someone else’s work as the author’s work to copying or paraphrasing essential parts of someone else’s work (without attribution) and claiming a right to the results of someone else’s research. Plagiarism in all forms is unethical and unacceptable.
4. Multiplicity, redundancy and simultaneity of publications
An author should not publish a paper mostly devoted to the same research in more than one journal as an original publication. Submitting the same paper to more than one journal at the same time is perceived as unethical behavior and is unacceptable.
5. Recognition of primary sources
It is always necessary to recognize the contribution of others. Authors should refer to publications that are relevant to the submitted work. Data obtained privately (for example, during a conversation, correspondence, or in the process of discussion with third parties) should not be used or presented without the explicit written permission of the original source. Information obtained from confidential sources, such as the evaluation of papers or the provision of grants, should not be used without the express written permission of the authors of the work related to confidential sources.
