The editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of a scientific journal are independently and independently responsible for making decisions about publication, based on cooperation with the editorial board, the international expert council and the editorial board of the journal. The scientific content of the work under review and its scientific significance should always form the basis of the decision to publish.
The editor-in-chief, deputy editor-in-chief and the editorial board are not obliged to unnecessarily disclose information about an accepted manuscript to third parties, with the exception of authors, reviewers and other consultants.
Unpublished data obtained from manuscripts submitted for consideration cannot be used in personal research without the written consent of the author. Information or ideas obtained during the review process related to priority benefits must be kept confidential and may not be used.
Influence on the decisions of the editorial board. Peer review helps the editor-in-chief to make an adequate decision on publication and, through appropriate interaction with authors, can also help the author improve the quality of the work. Peer review is an essential part of formal scientific communication.
Any manuscript received for review should be treated as confidential. This work cannot be discussed with persons who do not have authority from the editor-in-chief.
The reviewer is obliged to give an objective assessment of the text. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable. Reviewers should express their opinions clearly and with reason.
The authors of the manuscript must provide reliable results of the work done, as well as an objective judgment about the significance of the study.
Authors must ensure that the work presented is entirely original and, when using the work or statements of other authors, provide appropriate bibliographical references or citations.
Plagiarism can come in many forms, from presenting someone else’s work as original, to copying or paraphrasing significant parts of someone else’s work without attribution, to claiming ownership of someone else’s research. Plagiarism in all forms is unethical and will not be tolerated.
In general, an author should not publish a manuscript that is substantially the same study in more than one journal as an original publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time is perceived as unethical behavior and is unacceptable.
In general, an author should not submit a previously published article for consideration to another journal.
Authors of a publication can only be persons who have made a significant contribution to the conception of the work, development, execution or interpretation of the presented research. All who made significant contributions should be designated as co-authors. Where research participants have made significant contributions in a particular area of the research project, they should be identified in a footnote as having made significant contributions to that research.
If the author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in the publication, the author must inform the journal editor about this and interact with them in order to promptly withdraw the publication or correct errors. If the editor receives information from a third party that the publication contains significant errors, the author is obliged to retract the work or correct the errors as soon as possible.
