The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject the publication of an article in case of violation of the rules listed below.

Editorial responsibilities

Evaluation of the manuscript

Submission of the article for consideration implies that it contains new non-trivial scientific results obtained by the authors, which have not been published anywhere before.

Each article is reviewed by a double-blind method; experts have every opportunity to freely express motivated critical comments on the level and clarity of the presentation of the presented material, its compliance with the profile of the journal, the novelty and reliability of the results. The recommendations of the reviewers are the basis for making a final decision on the publication of the article. The responsibility for the decision to publish lies entirely with the editorial board of the journal. The editorial board makes a decision on publication, guided by the policy of the journal, taking into account the current legislation in the field of copyright. The editorial board evaluates manuscripts solely on their scientific content, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnicity, citizenship and political views of the authors. The article, if accepted for publication, is placed in the public domain; copyright is reserved for the authors.

Privacy

The editor and all editorial staff have no right to disclose information about the submitted works to anyone other than the respective authors, reviewers, other editorial consultants and, if necessary, the publisher. The editor and editorial staff have no right to use unpublished materials used in the submitted manuscript in their own research without the written consent of the author.

Conflict of interest and resolution of ethical conflicts

In case of a conflict of interest as a result of competitive relations, cooperation or other relations and connections with one of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the submitted manuscripts, the editor submits the manuscript for consideration to another member of the editorial board.

Editors should request disclosure of existing competing interests from all participants in the process. If the competition of interests was revealed after the publication of the article, the editorial board is obliged to ensure the publication of amendments. When submitting an ethical complaint regarding a submitted manuscript or published article, the editor must take reasonable retaliatory measures, in cooperation with the publisher (or society). Every report of unethical behavior will be reviewed, even if it was received years after the publication of the article. If the complaint is supported, appropriate corrections, refutations or apologies should be published.
