Code of Ethics for Scientific Publications

The Code of Ethics for Scientific Publications combines and reveals the general principles and rules that should guide the interactions of participants in the process of scientific publications: authors, reviewers, editors, publishers, distributors and readers.

Basic terms:

Ethics of scientific publications is a system of norms of professional behavior in the relations between authors, reviewers, editors, publishers and readers in the process of creating, distributing and using scientific publications.

Editor - a representative of a scientific journal or publishing house who prepares materials for publication, as well as maintains communication with authors and readers of scientific publications.

Author is a person or a group of persons (a team of authors) involved in the creation of a publication of the results of a scientific study.

Reviewer - an expert acting on behalf of a scientific journal or publishing house and conducting a scientific examination of copyrighted materials in order to determine the possibility of their publication.

Publisher - a legal or natural person who publishes a scientific publication.

Reader - any person who has read the published materials.

Plagiarism is the deliberate appropriation of the authorship of someone else's work of science or art, someone else's ideas or inventions. Plagiarism may be a violation of copyright law and patent law, and as such may incur legal liability.

Principles of Professional Ethics in the Activities of an Editor and a Publisher

In its activities, an editor is responsible for the publication of copyrighted works, in connection with which he/she is guided by the following fundamental principles:

- when making a decision on publication, an editor of a scientific journal is guided by the reliability of the presentation of data and the scientific significance of the work in question;

- an editor must evaluate the intellectual content of manuscripts, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, origin, citizenship, social status or political preferences of the authors;

- unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts should not be used for personal purposes or transferred to third parties without the written consent of the author. Information or ideas obtained during editing and related to possible benefits must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain;

- an editor should not allow information to be published if there are sufficient grounds to believe that it is plagiarism;

- an editor, together with the publisher, should not leave unanswered claims regarding the reviewed manuscripts or published materials, and also, if a conflict situation is identified, take all necessary measures to restore violated rights.

Ethical Principles in the Activities of a Reviewer

A reviewer carries out a scientific examination of copyright materials, as a result of which his actions must be unbiased, consisting in the implementation of the following principles:

‑ the manuscript received for review should be considered as a confidential document that cannot be transferred for review or discussion to third parties who do not have the authority of the editors;

‑ a reviewer is obliged to give an objective and reasoned assessment of the stated results of the study. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable;

‑ unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts should not be used by the reviewer for personal purposes;

‑ a reviewer who, in his opinion, does not have sufficient qualifications to evaluate the manuscript, or cannot be objective, for example, in case of a conflict of interest with the author or organization, should inform the editor about this with a request to exclude him from the review process of this manuscript.

Principles to Be Followed by an Author of Scientific Publications

An author is a researcher who has made a significant intellectual contribution to the published work and presented the results of his/her research. In the case of co-authorship, each author is responsible for  at least one component of the work and must be aware of the contributions of others. He must be fully confident in the qualifications and professionalism of his co-authors.

All persons credited as authors must meet the definition of authorship. Participation in the work of each author should be significant enough, since each author is publicly responsible for its respective component.

Authors may enter into separate, additional contractual agreements for the distribution of published work (for example, placing it in a university repository or publishing it in a book), with recognition of its original publication in this Journal.

All persons related to the work, but not meeting the authorship criteria, are listed in the "Expression of Appreciation" / “Acknowledgments” section (persons who helped in planning the study, selecting material and analyzing it, preparing the manuscript for publication, etc.).

An author does not have the right to send the same text to different editions. If an article uses previously published information, an author must indicate its source, and, at the request of the editor, provide a copy of the cited material.

An author needs to confirm that his/her article is original, and indicate the sources of the cited information.

An author is obliged to declare a potential conflict of interest (for example, circumstances that, in his/her opinion, may affect the publication process).

If a significant error is found in a publication, an author must immediately inform an editor about it. During the preparation of the material for publication, an author is obliged to cooperate with an editor and a publisher and, if necessary, introduce appropriate changes into the text.

An author takes full responsibility for possible plagiarism of the text, pictures and other materials. Any copyright infringement will be dealt with according to the criteria proposed by COPE.

An author (or a team of authors) is aware that he/she bears the primary responsibility for the novelty and reliability of the results of scientific research, which implies compliance with the following principles:

‑ authors of the article must provide reliable results of the research. Knowingly erroneous or falsified statements are unacceptable;

‑ authors must ensure that the results of the study presented in a submitted manuscript are completely original. Borrowed fragments or statements must be formalized with the obligatory indication of an author and source. Excessive borrowing, as well as plagiarism in any form, including inaccurate quotations, paraphrasing, or appropriation of rights to the results of other people's research, is unethical and unacceptable;

‑ it is necessary to recognize the contribution of all persons who in one way or another influenced the course of the study, in particular, the article should contain references to works that were important in the conduct of the study;

‑ authors should not submit to the Journal a manuscript that has been sent to another journal and is under consideration, as well as an article already published in another journal;

‑ co-authors of the article should indicate all persons who have made a significant contribution to the study. Among the co-authors, it is unacceptable to indicate persons who did not participate in the study;

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

Conflict of Interest

A conflict of interest arises if an author (or the institution in which he/she works), a reviewer, an editor or any participant in the preparation of the publication has financial or private interests (personal relationships, scientific rivalry, intellectual differences, etc.) which may have a negative impact on their performance.

Reviewers provide the editors with information about possible conflicts of interest that may affect their opinion regarding the manuscript. In the presence of such a danger, they refrain from reviewing this material. Reviewers may not take advantage of the results of the work in question prior to its publication.

Code of Ethics for Scientific Publications

The Code of Ethics for Scientific Publications combines and reveals the general principles and rules that should guide the interactions of participants in the process of scientific publications: authors, reviewers, editors, publishers, distributors and readers.

Basic terms:

Ethics of scientific publications is a system of norms of professional behavior in the relations between authors, reviewers, editors, publishers and readers in the process of creating, distributing and using scientific publications.

Editor - a representative of a scientific journal or publishing house who prepares materials for publication, as well as maintains communication with authors and readers of scientific publications.

Author is a person or a group of persons (a team of authors) involved in the creation of a publication of the results of a scientific study.

Reviewer - an expert acting on behalf of a scientific journal or publishing house and conducting a scientific examination of copyrighted materials in order to determine the possibility of their publication.

Publisher - a legal or natural person who publishes a scientific publication.

Reader - any person who has read the published materials.

Plagiarism is the deliberate appropriation of the authorship of someone else's work of science or art, someone else's ideas or inventions. Plagiarism may be a violation of copyright law and patent law, and as such may incur legal liability.

Principles of Professional Ethics in the Activities of an Editor and a Publisher

In its activities, an editor is responsible for the publication of copyrighted works, in connection with which he/she is guided by the following fundamental principles:

- when making a decision on publication, an editor of a scientific journal is guided by the reliability of the presentation of data and the scientific significance of the work in question;

- an editor must evaluate the intellectual content of manuscripts, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, origin, citizenship, social status or political preferences of the authors;

- unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts should not be used for personal purposes or transferred to third parties without the written consent of the author. Information or ideas obtained during editing and related to possible benefits must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain;

- an editor should not allow information to be published if there are sufficient grounds to believe that it is plagiarism;

- an editor, together with the publisher, should not leave unanswered claims regarding the reviewed manuscripts or published materials, and also, if a conflict situation is identified, take all necessary measures to restore violated rights.

Ethical Principles in the Activities of a Reviewer

A reviewer carries out a scientific examination of copyright materials, as a result of which his actions must be unbiased, consisting in the implementation of the following principles:

‑ the manuscript received for review should be considered as a confidential document that cannot be transferred for review or discussion to third parties who do not have the authority of the editors;

‑ a reviewer is obliged to give an objective and reasoned assessment of the stated results of the study. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable;

‑ unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts should not be used by the reviewer for personal purposes;

‑ a reviewer who, in his opinion, does not have sufficient qualifications to evaluate the manuscript, or cannot be objective, for example, in case of a conflict of interest with the author or organization, should inform the editor about this with a request to exclude him from the review process of this manuscript.

Principles to Be Followed by an Author of Scientific Publications

An author is a researcher who has made a significant intellectual contribution to the published work and presented the results of his/her research. In the case of co-authorship, each author is responsible for  at least one component of the work and must be aware of the contributions of others. He must be fully confident in the qualifications and professionalism of his co-authors.

All persons credited as authors must meet the definition of authorship. Participation in the work of each author should be significant enough, since each author is publicly responsible for its respective component.

Authors may enter into separate, additional contractual agreements for the distribution of published work (for example, placing it in a university repository or publishing it in a book), with recognition of its original publication in this Journal.

All persons related to the work, but not meeting the authorship criteria, are listed in the "Expression of Appreciation" / “Acknowledgments” section (persons who helped in planning the study, selecting material and analyzing it, preparing the manuscript for publication, etc.).

An author does not have the right to send the same text to different editions. If an article uses previously published information, an author must indicate its source, and, at the request of the editor, provide a copy of the cited material.

An author needs to confirm that his/her article is original, and indicate the sources of the cited information.

An author is obliged to declare a potential conflict of interest (for example, circumstances that, in his/her opinion, may affect the publication process).

If a significant error is found in a publication, an author must immediately inform an editor about it. During the preparation of the material for publication, an author is obliged to cooperate with an editor and a publisher and, if necessary, introduce appropriate changes into the text.

An author takes full responsibility for possible plagiarism of the text, pictures and other materials. Any copyright infringement will be dealt with according to the criteria proposed by COPE.

An author (or a team of authors) is aware that he/she bears the primary responsibility for the novelty and reliability of the results of scientific research, which implies compliance with the following principles:

‑ authors of the article must provide reliable results of the research. Knowingly erroneous or falsified statements are unacceptable;

‑ authors must ensure that the results of the study presented in a submitted manuscript are completely original. Borrowed fragments or statements must be formalized with the obligatory indication of an author and source. Excessive borrowing, as well as plagiarism in any form, including inaccurate quotations, paraphrasing, or appropriation of rights to the results of other people's research, is unethical and unacceptable;

‑ it is necessary to recognize the contribution of all persons who in one way or another influenced the course of the study, in particular, the article should contain references to works that were important in the conduct of the study;

‑ authors should not submit to the Journal a manuscript that has been sent to another journal and is under consideration, as well as an article already published in another journal;

‑ co-authors of the article should indicate all persons who have made a significant contribution to the study. Among the co-authors, it is unacceptable to indicate persons who did not participate in the study;

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

Conflict of Interest

A conflict of interest arises if an author (or the institution in which he/she works), a reviewer, an editor or any participant in the preparation of the publication has financial or private interests (personal relationships, scientific rivalry, intellectual differences, etc.) which may have a negative impact on their performance.

Reviewers provide the editors with information about possible conflicts of interest that may affect their opinion regarding the manuscript. In the presence of such a danger, they refrain from reviewing this material. Reviewers may not take advantage of the results of the work in question prior to its publication.
