The editorial board and editors of the journal attach great importance to the observance of the norms of publishing ethics. In our work, we adhere to the rules collected in the Code of Ethics for Scientific Publishing, developed by the Committee on the Ethics of Scientific Publishing (http://publicet.org)
Principles of Professional Ethics for Editors and Publishers
In his activities, the editor is responsible for the publication of works of authorship, which imposes the need to follow the following fundamental principles:
When deciding on publication, the editor of a scientific journal is guided by the reliability of the presentation of data and the scientific significance of the work in question.
Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts should not be used for personal purposes or transferred to third parties without the written consent of the author.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 associated with 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.
The editor, together with the publisher, should not leave unanswered claims regarding the reviewed manuscripts or published materials, and if a conflict situation is identified, take all necessary measures to restore violated rights.
Ethical principles in the activity of the reviewer
The reviewer carries out a scientific examination of the copyright materials, as a result of which his actions must be impartial, 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 to do so from the editorial board.
The reviewer is obliged to give an objective and reasoned assessment of the stated research results.
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Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts should not be used by the reviewer for personal purposes.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 the event of a conflict of interest with the author or organization, must inform the editor about this with a request to exclude him from the review process of this manuscript.
Principles to be followed by the author of scientific publications
The author (or group of authors) realizes that he bears the initial responsibility for the novelty and reliability of the results of scientific research, which implies compliance with the following principles:
The authors of the article must provide reliable results of the research carried out. Knowingly erroneous or falsified statements are unacceptable.
Authors must ensure that the research results presented in the submitted manuscript are completely original. Borrowed fragments or statements must be made with the obligatory indication of the author and the original source. Excessive borrowing, as well as plagiarism in any form, including unofficial 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 research, in particular, the article should contain references to works that were of importance in the conduct of the research.
Authors should not submit to the journal a manuscript that was sent to another journal and is under consideration, as well as an article already published in another journal.
All persons who have made a significant contribution to the research should be indicated as co-authors of the article. Among the co-authors it is unacceptable to indicate persons who did not participate in the study.
If the author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in the article at the stage of its consideration or after its publication, he must notify the editorial board of the journal as soon as possible.
