Originality

Authors submitting their papers for publication in the journal “Ideas and Ideals” guarantee that the articles are original (not previously published in other publications in their current or close form) and are not under consideration by the editorial boards of other publications.

 

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.

 

If plagiarism, copyright infringement or other instances of bad faith behavior are detected after publication, the Editorial Board of Ideas and Ideals requires an explanation from the author. If the author's explanation is unsatisfactory, in accordance with the COPE Retraction Guidelines (https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines) and the Rules for withdrawal (retraction/retraction) of an article from publication (https://rassep.ru/sovet-po-etike/retraktsiya/) prepared by ASEP, the article is retracted. The announcement about it is posted on the journal's website, information is submitted to RINC and ASEP’s database of retracted articles.

 

Permission to use content created by others

The authors guarantee that no confidential information or information containing state or trade secrets will be disclosed as a result of publication.

 

Before an article is submitted to the editorial board for review, the authors must obtain permission to use any content created by others. Authors should be prepared to provide written permission to use such content if requested by the editorial board.

 

When using tables, figures, photographs, etc. in the article, the authors are obliged to indicate their source and give an appropriate reference. If the borrowed tables and/or graphical objects have been last modified or supplemented, it is necessary to indicate in the note to them: “published with modifications/additions”

 

Conflict of interest

Authors are responsible for identifying and publicizing financial and other conflicts of interest that may have influenced their work. In the original text, authors are also obliged to mention all financial and personal connections that are relevant to the submitted work.

 

Authorship of the work

Authorship of an article should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, execution, or interpretation of the research presented. It is a gross violation of publication ethics to list as authors persons who did not participate in the study or to fail to include as co-authors persons who made significant contributions to the work and meet the criteria for authorship.

 

All those who made significant contributions to the research and/or the writing of the article should be listed as co-authors.

By default, the Editors of the journal “Ideas and Ideals” assume that the contributions of all co-authors listed in the article are equal.

 

Significant errors in published papers
