Ethics of scientific publications

The section was prepared on the basis of the materials of the Elsevier Scientific and Medical Publishing House, as well as on the materials of the International Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE)

Introduction

1.1. Publication of materials in peer-reviewed journals is not only a simple method of scientific communication, but also makes a significant contribution to the development of the relevant field of scientific knowledge. Thus, it is important to establish standards for the future ethical behavior of all parties involved in the publication, namely: Authors, Journal Editors, Reviewers, Publishers and the Journal of Educational and Scientific Medicine

1.2. The publisher not only supports scientific communications and invests in this process, but is also responsible for complying with all current recommendations in the published work.

1.3. The publisher is committed to the strictest supervision of scientific materials. Our journal programs present an impartial “report” on the development of scientific thought and research, therefore we are also aware of the responsibility for properly presenting these “reports”, especially in terms of the ethical aspects of the publications presented in this document.

2. Editors Responsibilities

2.1. Decision to publish

The editor of the scientific journal " Journal of Educational and Scientific Medicine " is personally and independently responsible for making decisions about publication, often in collaboration with the relevant Scientific Society. The credibility of the work in question and its scientific significance should always be the basis of the decision to publish. The editor may be guided by the policy of the Editorial Board of the journal " Journal of Educational and Scientific Medicine ", being limited to relevant legal requirements regarding libel, copyright, legality and plagiarism.
The editor may confer with other Editors and Reviewers (or officers of the Scientific Society) during the publication decision.

2.2. Decency

The editor should evaluate the intellectual content of the manuscripts, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, origin, citizenship, or political preferences of the Authors.

2.3. Confidentiality

The editor and the editorial board of the journal “Journal of Educational and Scientific Medicine” are obliged without the need not to disclose information about the accepted manuscript to all persons, except the Authors, Reviewers, possible Reviewers, other scientific consultants and the Publisher.

2.4. Disclosure policy and conflicts of interest

2.4.1 Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts cannot be used in personal research without the written consent of the Author. Information or ideas obtained during the review process and related to possible benefits should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain.

2.4.2 Editors should recuse themselves from reviewing manuscripts (namely: request a Co-editor, Assistant Editor, or cooperate with other members of the Editorial Board when considering work instead of self-review and decision-making) in case of conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative and other interactions and relationships with Authors, companies, and possibly other organizations associated with the manuscript.

2.5. Supervision of publications

The editor who provided convincing evidence that the statements or conclusions presented in the publication are erroneous should inform the Publisher (and / or the relevant Scientific Society) with the aim of promptly notifying about changes, deletions of publications, expressions of concern and other relevant situation statements.

The editor, together with the Publisher (or the Scientific Society), takes adequate response measures in the case of ethical claims regarding reviewed manuscripts or published materials. Such measures generally include interaction with

The authors of the manuscript and the argumentation of the relevant complaint or requirement, but may also involve interaction with relevant organizations and research centers.

3. Responsibilities of Reviewers

3.1. Impact on the decisions of the Editorial Board

Reviewing helps the Editor make a decision on publication and, through appropriate interaction with Authors, can also help the Author to improve the quality of work. Peer review is a necessary link in formal scientific communications, located at the very heart of the scientific approach. The publisher shares the view that all scientists who want to contribute to the publication are required to perform substantial work on the review of the manuscript.

3.2. Performance

Any selected Reviewer who does not have enough qualifications to review the manuscript or who does not have enough time to complete the work quickly should notify the Editor of the journal “Journal of Educational and Scientific Medicine” and ask to exclude him from the review process of the relevant manuscript.

Any manuscript received for review should be treated as a confidential document. This work cannot be opened and discussed with any persons not authorized to do so by the Editor.
