Reviewing
The procedure for publication in the journal provides for mandatory peer review of scientific articles. All scientific articles submitted to the editorial office of the journal are subject to mandatory one-way anonymous (“blind”) peer review (the authors of the manuscript do not know the reviewers and receive a copy of the review with comments without indicating the reviewer’s information).
Borrowings and Anti-plagiarism
When reviewing an article, the editorial board of the journal checks the material using the Anti-Plagiarism system. If multiple borrowings are detected, the editors act in accordance with the COPE rules.
Editorial Policy on the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The responsibility for the content of the research manuscript, including the reliability and accuracy of data and the correctness of citations, lies entirely with the authors, regardless of their use of AI tools.
AI cannot be listed as an author or co-author of the article.
AI technologies as auxiliary tools can be used for data analysis and visualization. It is forbidden to use AI to generate actual research results or modify images obtained during the study.
When using AI technologies, users are required to provide personal control at all stages of manuscript preparation, carefully checking all AI-generated conclusions, including facts, citations, and analytical conclusions, for compliance with the relevance of the data and accepted scientific standards.
If AI technologies were used in preparing a manuscript, the program's name and version, the purpose of use, and the search criteria must be indicated in the “Materials and Methods” section of the article.
Authors may not specify this information if non-generative AI was used, for example:
– basic grammar verification tools were used;
– the format of references was adjusted without generating sources;
– general image editing was carried out without modification (cropping, contrast enhancement, etc.).
By submitting material generated using AI, the authors guarantee that they have the right to use the generative content under the terms of the AI licenses.
When reviewing manuscripts, the editorial board uses the Anti-Plagiarism system module to identify AI-generated texts.
Journal reviewers must not process the manuscript or any part of it received for review using AI tools, as this may violate the confidentiality and intellectual property rights of the authors.
The editorial board may request additional information on the use of AI to ensure transparency and compliance with ethical standards.
If misuse of AI technologies is detected in the writing of an article, it may be rejected at any stage of the editorial and publishing process.
