FOR AUTHORS

ETHICAL PRINCIPLES APPLICABLE TO THE JOURNAL

In terms of good practices and principles of publication ethics, the Editorial Board follows the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE):

https://publicationethics.org/resources/code-conduct

In order to facilitate the cooperation of authors and reviewers with the editorial board of the Acta Albaruthenica journal, we are publishing the main ethical principles that direct our activities.

Authorship policy

An author may submit only original texts for publication. The research and/or information of other researchers used in the publication should be marked to indicate that it is a citation. All articles sent to Acta Albaruthenica are checked through the iThenticate anti-plagiarism system. Plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or falsification of data are unacceptable.

Authors submitting multi-authored texts for publication are obliged to disclose the contribution of individual authors to its creation (including the authors’ affiliations and information on who is the author of the concepts, assumptions, methods, protocol, etc. applied in the creation of the text).

Hostwriting and guest authorship are considered scientific misconduct and any detected cases will be uncovered, including the notification of relevant entities, such as institutions employing the author, scientific societies, associations of scientific editors, etc. Buying or selling the authorship of scientific works, regardless of whether they have been accepted for publication, is unacceptable.

The procedure in case of suspicion of plagiarism, autoplagiarism, data falsification, hostwriting and guest authorship is as follows:

Race, gender (including pregnancy and gender identity), sexual orientation, religion, origin, citizenship, age, marital or parental status, disability, and political beliefs of the authors do not affect the assessment of the texts in any way. Texts are evaluated only in terms of their content.

Principle of compliance with legal and ethical requirements in relation to authors participating in research.

PREPARING THE BIBLIOGRAPHY LIST:

The author compiles one list of bibliography (Bibliography, Bibliografia, Бібліяграфія) for the entire work. The order of bibliographic items should be alphabetical, according to the names of the authors or the titles of collective works. Editors of collective works should be marked with an abbreviation in the language consistent with the publication (Ed., Red., Рэд.) Before their surname. The list should only include works that are referred to or cited in the text. Subsequent works should not be numbered/bulleted, each new work should be started with a new paragraph.

Bibliographic items written in Cyrillic characters in the bibliography must be supplemented by the transliterated variant in accordance with PN-ISO 9: 2000. We transliterate automatically at https://www.ushuaia.pl/transliterate/ (PN-ISO 9: 2000 system). The transliterated variant should be followed by the original in square brackets.
