Author Guidelines

Responsibilities of authors

1. Requirements for manuscripts. The authors of the manuscript should provide reliable results of the work done, as well as an objective judgment on the significance of the research. The data underlying the work must be presented accurately, without errors. The work should contain enough details and bibliographic references for possible reproduction. False or knowingly erroneous statements are perceived as unethical behavior and unacceptable.
2. Data access and storage. The authors may be asked for raw data related to the manuscript for review and evaluation by editors. Authors should be prepared to provide open access to this kind of information, if possible, and in any case keep this data for a reasonable period of time after publication.
3. Originality and plagiarism. Authors should make sure that the original work is presented completely, and in case of using the works or statements of other authors, provide appropriate bibliographic references or citations. Plagiarism can exist in many forms – from presenting someone else's work as an author's work to copying or paraphrasing essential parts of someone else's work without attribution, as well as claiming their own rights to the results of someone else's research. Plagiarism in all forms is unethical and unacceptable.
4. Multiplicity, redundancy and simultaneity of publications. In general, an author should not publish a manuscript, mostly devoted to the same research, 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 unacceptable. In general, the author should not submit a previously published article for consideration in another journal. The publication of a certain type of articles (for example, translated ones) in more than one journal is in some cases ethical if certain conditions are met. Authors and editors of interested journals may agree to re-publication, which necessarily presents the same data and interpretations as in the originally published work. A bibliographic reference to the first work should be presented in the second publication.
5. Recognition of primary sources. Authors should refer to publications that are relevant to the performance of the submitted work. Data obtained privately, for example, during a conversation, correspondence or in the process of discussion with third parties, should not be used or presented without the explicit written permission of the original source. Information obtained from confidential sources (for example, in the course of reviewing or evaluating manuscripts for grants) should not be used without the express written permission of the authors of the work related to confidential sources.
6. Authorship of the publication. The authors of the publication can only be persons who have made a significant contribution to the formation of the idea of the work, the development, execution or interpretation of the presented research. All those who have made significant contributions should be designated as co-authors. In cases where research participants have made a significant contribution in a particular direction in a research project, they should be indicated in the footnote as persons who have made a significant contribution to this study. The author must make sure that all participants who have made a significant contribution to the study are presented as co-authors, and those who did not participate in the study are not listed as co-authors, and also make sure that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the work and agreed to submit it for publication.
7. Information Disclosure Policy and conflicts of interest. All authors are required to disclose in their manuscripts financial or other existing conflicts of interest that may be perceived as having influenced the results or conclusions presented in the work. Examples of potential conflicts of interest to be disclosed include employment, consulting, stock ownership, receiving fees, providing expert opinions, patent application or patent registration, grants and other financial support. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed as early as possible.
8. Significant errors in published works. If the author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in the publication, the author must inform the editor of the journal or the publisher and interact with them in order to withdraw the publication as soon as possible or correct errors. If the editor or publisher has received information from a third party that the publication contains significant errors, the author is obliged to withdraw the work or correct the errors as soon as possible.
