Publication ethics

Editorial workflow of the journal is based on “Core Practices” delineated by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Authors submit texts prepared in accordance with the publishing instructions posted on the journal's website. The texts submitted by the authors are the original product of their own scientific work, contain real data, have not been previously published, are not subject to the publishing procedure in another journal and are free from ghostwriting and guest authorship that threaten publishing ethics. The authors participate in the review process on the basis of double-blind peer review and make changes to the text suggested by the reviewers. In disputable situations, the authors may refer to the editorial office with their own comments or withdraw the article.

Reviewers have the necessary knowledge to prepare reviews of the texts entrusted to them. Reviews are prepared in an objective and understandable manner using the form available on the journal's website. Reviewers are obliged to treat the texts entrusted to them in a confidential manner and may not use the information contained therein to gain their own or others' benefit.

The Editorial Board publishes binding instructions related to editorial work, makes efforts to improve the quality of the journal and supports pluralism and freedom of expression on the scientific level.
