The authors confirm that their publication does not infringe anyone’s copyright and guarantee the publisher indemnification in case of such infringements.
Responsibility for the content
By submitting an article to the Editorial Board, the authors thereby confirm that the article is not under consideration by the Editorial Board of another journal and has not been previously published.
The authors are responsible for the factual materials and data presented in the articles. Forgery, falsification of data, excessive self-citation and friendly citation, irrelevant references are interpreted as fraud and, if detected, will result in refusal of publication.
The articles published in the journal reflect the personal point of view of the authors, which may differ from the point of view of the editors.
Plagiarism
The work of others must always be properly acknowledged and cited, with appropriate references.
Plagiarism in all its forms is unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Verbatim copying and/or paraphrasing of one’s own published work is also unacceptable and may only be used as a basis for new conclusions. Incorrect paraphrasing of original work without citing the source is considered verbatim copying.
When borrowing large fragments of your own articles, including those translated from another language, or fragments of an abstract or text of a dissertation, or a report at a scientific conference, it is necessary to indicate the source of borrowing and give a reference to the original source.
All incoming articles are necessarily checked in order to exclude unauthorized citation (plagiarism and self-citation without indicating the source). The check is made with the help of the system "Anti-Plagiarism VUZ", (http://nsuem.antiplagiat.ru). In case of detection of unfair behavior - duplication of the article (republishing), illegal voluminous borrowing, submission of a translated version of an already published article, falsification of data, fraud, etc., the editorial board of the journal "Ideas and Ideals" in accordance with the recommendations of COPE refuses to accept the article. - The editorial board of the journal "Ideas and Ideals" in accordance with the recommendations of COPE refuses the author in publication.
