One of the most important and mandatory principles of the editorial policy is the prevention of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, and adherence to the principles of academic integrity.

Plagiarism is the publication (partially or fully) of scientific (creative) results obtained by other persons as the results of one's own research (creativity) and/or reproduction of published texts by other authors without indicating authorship. Autoplagiarism (self-plagiarism) is the presentation of one's own, previously published scientific results as new results in the materials of the manuscript.

The authors of the article must guarantee that they have written a completely original work, and if the authors have used materials and/or words of other authors, this must be indicated in an appropriate way by reference or indicated in the text.

All articles submitted for publication in the journal are checked for plagiarism using specialized services. The editorial board analyzes all cases of detected plagiarism and reserves the right to refuse to consider the submitted manuscript.
Scientific articles submitted to the journal editorial board are checked according to the following indicators:
if the level of originality of the manuscript exceeds 85%, the material is accepted for review;
if the level of originality is from 75% to 85%, the scientific article is returned to the authors for revision with a recommendation to eliminate text borrowings and submit a revised version;
if the level of originality is below 75%, the material is not accepted for consideration;
no more than 3% of borrowed text from one source is allowed.

Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time is unethical behavior when publishing and is unacceptable.

This policy complies with the recommendations of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) and reflects international standards of research integrity. All participants in the process — authors, reviewers, editors, and publishers — are required to adhere to the highest standards of professional conduct and academic ethics.
