Authors' Ethics

PRINCIPLES OF AUTHOR ETHICS

Authors must declare that they propose for publication completely original texts that have not been published in other publications. If the proposed text is the result of a team effort, then the author submitting the article must ensure that all co-authors who contributed to the conception, design, execution and interpretation of the study are included in the article, that they have seen and approved its final version and have agreed to submit it for publication. Authors must guarantee the authenticity of the data provided, by not proposing manipulated collection of information from fictitious or real respondents.

It is their personal responsibility to avoid plagiarism in any form.

The following unscrupulous practices should be avoided:

fabrication and falsification of data (fabrication of data means that the researcher, without conducting any research, has fabricated the data; falsification of data is the replacement of data obtained during the experiment);
Plagiarism in scientific texts (plagiarism means using other people's ideas and works, copying texts or their fragments without indicating the source, violating the rules of citation);
simultaneous submission of materials to several journals;
duplication of publication (placing the same manuscript in several periodicals damages the reputation of scientists and journals);
failure to comply with the copyright of their co-authors - supervisor or colleagues (indicate all those who contributed to the research, including students and laboratory assistants);
fictitious multiple authorship (if the article is written in co-authorship, then each author must be associated with the process of preparing the article, have scientific interests in this area).

In case of violation of author's ethics, the article may be rejected at any stage of its preparation for publication. If a violation is detected after publication, the articles are withdrawn unilaterally by decision of the editorial board.
