The Editorial Board is committed to upholding the principles of academic integrity and expects authors to:

- comply with copyright and related rights legislation;

- ensure the originality of submitted manuscripts (materials must not have been published previously in any language);

- provide accurate information about research methods, results, and sources;

- properly cite all sources when using borrowed ideas, data, or statements;

- avoid self-plagiarism (use of one’s own published work is permitted only if there is a valid reason for doing so, must be clearly indicated and cited).

The Editorial Board rejects manuscripts in which the following are detected:

- plagiarism (presenting others’ research results as one’s own; verbatim use of others’ texts without proper attribution; use of visual materials without citing the source);

- self-plagiarism (reuse of previously published own texts without proper citation);

- compilation (combining original and borrowed text without appropriate referencing);

- incorrect or incomplete references that hinder identification of sources;

- paraphrasing or summarizing ideas from any sources without proper citation;

- submission of works produced by third parties as one’s own;

- fabrication or falsification of research data or results.

All submitted manuscripts are subject to automated plagiarism detection using software such as Strike-plagiarism, followed by expert evaluation. Based on similarity reports, reviewers confirm the absence of improper borrowings, the originality of the research, and proper citation of all sources.

The Editorial Board of the Collection takes measures to ensure high ethical and professional standards of publishing in accordance with the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, the provisions outlined in the Publishing Ethics Resource Kit for Editors, and the standards of the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

The Collection adheres to the ethical principles for editors, publishers, reviewers, and authors established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and presented in the document "Codes of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors".
