In order to avoid unfair practices in publishing activities (plagiarism, presentation of false information, etc.) and in order to ensure the high quality of scientific publications, public recognition of the scientific results obtained by the author, each member of the editorial board, author, reviewer, as well as institutions involved in the publishing process, must comply with ethical standards, rules and regulations and take all measures to prevent their violations. Compliance with the rules of ethics of scientific publications by all participants in this process contributes to ensuring the rights of authors to intellectual property, improving the quality of the publication, and excluding the possibility of illegal use of copyright materials in the interests of individuals.

All scientific articles submitted to the editorial office are subject to mandatory double-blind review. The editorial board of the Journal (Responsible secretary) establishes the correspondence of the article to the profile of the Journal, the requirements for registration and sends it for the first consideration, determines the scientific value of the manuscript and appoints two independent reviewers - specialists who have scientific specializations closest to the topic of the article. Reviewing of articles is carried out by members of the editorial board, as well as invited reviewers from other countries. The decision on choosing a reviewer for the examination of the article is made by the editor-in-chief. The review period is 2-4 weeks, but it can be extended at the request of the reviewer.

The editorial board and the reviewer guarantee the confidentiality of unpublished materials. The decision on publication is made by the editorial board of the Journal after reviewing. The manuscript is sent to the authors for revision based on the comments of reviewers and editors if necessary. After which, it is re-reviewed. The editors reserve the right to reject the publication of an article in case of a violation of the rules of ethics. The executive editor should not allow information to be published if there are sufficient grounds to believe that it is plagiarism.

The authors guarantee that the submitted materials to the editorial office are new, previously unpublished, and original. Authors are responsible for the reliability and significance of scientific results, as well as adherence to the principles of scientific ethics, in particular, the prevention of violations of scientific ethics (fabrication of scientific data, falsification leading to distortion of research data, plagiarism, and false co-authorship, duplication, appropriation of other people's results, etc.).

The submission of an article to the Editorial Board means that the authors did not transmit the article (in original or translation into other languages ​​or from other languages) to another journal (s), and this material has not been previously published. Otherwise, the article is immediately returned to the authors with a recommendation to reject the article for copyright infringement. Verbatim quoting of the work of another author is not allowed without indicating his authorship and references to the source. Borrowed fragments or statements must be made with the obligatory indication of the author and the source. Excessive borrowing as well as plagiarism in any form, including unofficial quotations, paraphrasing, or appropriation of rights to the results of other people's research, is unethical and unacceptable. It is necessary to recognize the contribution of all persons, who in one way or another influenced the course of the research. In particular, the article, should contain references to works that were of importance in the conduct of the research. Among the co-authors, it is inadmissible to indicate persons who did not participate in the study.
