Publication ethics
Ethics of scientific publications
The organizers of the conference help the author to correctly design, translate the article, and submit the article for indexing in the SCOPUS scientific database. The period between submission of the application and publication with indexing can be 15 months. We remind you that the deadline does not depend on the organizers.
The principles of ethical behavior of all parties involved in the publication process are outlined below: authors, editors of the journal, reviewers and the publisher. The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject any publication that does not comply with publication ethics.

Responsibilities of the authors

1. Authorship

A document can only be submitted for publication by its author or one of his co-authors. If the author does not confirm the title of the article at the request of the editors, the author's team and the author will cease cooperation unilaterally.
All the authors listed in the document are equally responsible for the content of the submitted manuscript or published article.
The corresponding author ensures the consent of all listed co-authors regarding the content of the manuscript, its publication and the order of authorship.
The corresponding author guarantees that all persons who have made significant scientific contributions to the work will be listed as co-authors.


2. Licensing and Copyright

The author (co-authors) guarantee that their manuscript has not been published before and is not currently being reviewed in any other journal. Authors are allowed to submit a draft of their manuscript to the institutional repository.
The author (co-authors) grants the organizers of the conference the right to use the article under a simple (non-exclusive) license for the duration of the exclusive rights to the work. The relevant author guarantees that there are sufficient rights to conclude such an agreement.
The author (co-authors) guarantee that their article does not infringe on the copyrights of third parties. Authors who include any materials (tables, figures, images, including those used as incentives, etc.) that are the copyright of a third party must obtain and submit to the editorial board written permission to reproduce these materials in printed and electronic form from their respective copyright holders.
If the research described in the manuscript involves the use of third-party data or tools that are not explicitly declared publicly available, the authors are responsible for obtaining appropriate permissions for their use from the copyright holders.

3. Preventing plagiarism

The author (co-authors) should include correct citations and links to all sources (both printed and electronic) used during the preparation of the article.
The use of any third-party texts without appropriate links and links confirming authorship is not allowed. If fragments of third-party texts are used verbatim, they should be formatted as shorthand quotations.
Whenever an author (or co-authors) mentions ideas, conclusions, models, or explanatory schemes proposed by other authors without using direct citation, they should still refer to the relevant source in the text of their work.
Authors are not allowed to reuse their own texts published earlier, either verbatim or as a paraphrase with essentially the same meaning.
An author should not generally publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. If the manuscript includes a reanalysis of previously published data or includes some elements of previous research, the author (co-authors) should refer to their earlier work.
In exceptional cases, the manuscript may be accepted if the author (co-authors) submit a substantial revision of their existing materials or existing conclusions supplemented by new data, which amount to at least 50%. In such cases, the author (co-authors) should notify the editorial board of their early publications using the same source materials or empirical data as their new submission.

4. Protection of the rights of participants

Authors reporting research involving humans or animals should indicate whether the research protocol has been approved by the research ethics committee.
Authors should not include any identifying information about individuals or organizations involved in the study, except in cases where such information is necessary and written informed consent has been obtained.
Authors are required to respond to requests from editors and organizers within no more than 7 days. If, after 7 days, the author has not responded to a request from the editor or the organizers regarding questions regarding the publication or the content of the article, the organizers will stop working with the author.
The authors are obliged to observe ethics towards the organizers and editors. In case of non-compliance with ethical standards, the organizers have the right to reject the manuscript or withdraw the material without publishing it.
If the publication has not been published within 15 months. The cost of the loan is refunded to the author.


5. Academic integrity

The authors are responsible for describing all stages of their research. Violations of rules such as selective publication, modification of results, or exclusion of observations to match information with a hypothesis are strictly prohibited. The authors may be asked to provide their initial data.
If the authors find errors in the published documents, they are responsible for timely informing the editor and publisher to publish a correction notice.
Authors are responsible for specifying all sources of their funding and explicitly declaring any possible conflicts of interest when submitting their manuscript.

6.Duties of editors

The editor is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The editor makes decisions about whether to reject/accept a document based only on the originality, importance, quality, and significance of the article.
The editor strives to maintain academic integrity and reserves the right to reject any work if any abuse is detected.
The relationship between editors and publishers is based on the principle of editorial independence. The publisher has no influence on editorial decisions.
The editors are responsible for ensuring an honest, impartial and anonymous peer review procedure for all submitted manuscripts and ultimately make the final decision on the publication of the article.

7.Responsibilities of reviewers

Expert reviewers assist the editor in making editorial decisions. They can help the author(s) to improve their work. The purpose of the review procedure is to help authors ensure a high academic standard of their work accepted for publication, as well as to assist publishers in making editorial decisions.
Any manuscripts received for review should be treated as confidential documents. They should not be shown or discussed with third parties before publication, unless authorized by the editor.
The review should be conducted objectively and fairly. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers should clearly express their positions and provide arguments in support of them.
Reviewers should inform the editor about conflicts of interest regarding authors, research topics, and/or sources of funding.
Reviewers should identify the relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. The reviewer should draw the editor's attention to any significant similarity or overlap between the manuscript in question and other published work that they are aware of.
Reviewers are also responsible for writing reviews within the time limits set by the editor. In case of any unforeseen circumstances that do not allow them to complete the review in a timely manner, the reviewers are invited to inform the editor about this as soon as possible.

8.Refund of funds
If the author has withdrawn the article for one reason or another before publication, the organizers will refund the full cost of the article within 14 days to 30 days. The author cannot withdraw the article after publication. In this case, the funds will not be refunded.
If the organizers unilaterally withdraw the article for one reason or another, the organizers will refund the full cost of the article within 14 days to 30 days after notifying the author.
