The journal editorial board upholds the principles of academic integrity and reserves the rights to deny the publication should the text have the following:
- plagiarism (distribution of scientific results received by other researhers as results of own research; word-to-word citing of published texts of other authors without pointing of authorship; usage of illustrations without specifying the sources; usage of data and materials, that are prohibited by the right holder to use without their permission);
- self-plagiarism (reusing the information from earlier published own works without citing them);
- compilation, overciting without proper analysis of the information sources if such textual copying is not substantiated by the purpose and goal of the article;
- incorrect sources or incomplete bibliography preventing from their identification;
- data and research results falsification.
To check for plagiarism the journal uses Unicheck.
