Publication Ethics

Ethical Principles for Authors, Editors, and Reviewers

Best Practices

The Editorial Office has adopted and implements the best practices outlined in the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors (available for download below).

The Editor oversees the proper conduct of the publishing process, monitors it, and responds to abuses of integrity and scientific ethics, thereby also taking responsibility for the texts published in the journal. The Editor selects reviewers based on transparency in the review process and the commitment to high substantive quality of published texts, preventing any conflicts of interest in this regard. The Editor reviews submitted texts for their thematic and substantive content, and takes into account accepted ethical standards and good anti-plagiarism practices. Decisions regarding publication are made independently and impartially. The Editor ensures confidentiality and objectivity at every stage of the review process. He systematically expands and updates his knowledge of ethical standards applicable in the publishing process, procedures to be followed in the event of detection of abuse and counteracting unethical behavior in this area.
