STANDARDS OF CONDUCT OF AUTHORS

Requirements for Manuscripts

 Authors of the article about the original research, provide reliable results of the work done and an objective discussion of the significance of the research. The work should contain enough details and bibliographic references for possible reproduction of the research. False or knowingly erroneous statements are perceived as unethical conduct and are unacceptable.

Originality and Plagiarism

 Authors should ensure that the original work is presented in its entirety. In case of using the works or statements of other Authors, appropriate bibliographic references should be provided. Plagiarism can exist in many forms: representing someone else’s work as an author’s work, copying or paraphrasing essential parts of others’ works (without attribution), claiming their own rights to the results of others’ research. Plagiarism in all its forms is unethical and unacceptable.

Multiplicity and Simultaneity of Publications

The authors guarantee the provision of completely original work. The author should not publish a manuscript, mostly devoted to the same research, in more than one journal as an original publication. The author should not submit a previously published article to another journal.

The publication of certain types of articles (for example, translated articles) in more than one journal is allowed in some cases, subject to certain conditions. Authors and the Editorial Board of interested journals must agree to a secondary publication, which necessarily contains the same data and interpretations as in the originally published work. The bibliography of primary work should be presented in the second publication as well.

Recognition of Primary Sources

 Recognition of the contribution of others is always necessary. Authors are obliged to refer to publications that are relevant to the performance of the submitted work. Data, obtained during private conversation, correspondence or in the process of discussion with the third parties, should not be used or presented without the explicit written permission of the source.

Authorship of Publication

 Authors of the publication can be only persons, who have made a significant contribution to the formation of the concept of work, to the development, to the implementation or interpretation of the presented study. The author must make sure that all Co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the work and agreed to submit it for publication.

Significant Errors in Published Works

 If the Author finds material errors or inaccuracies in the publication, the Author must notify the Editorial Board and interact with it in order to remove the publication or correct errors as soon as possible. If the Editorial Board or the Publisher have received information from a third party that the publication contains material errors, the Author must withdraw the work or rectify the errors as soon as possible.
