Anti-plagiarism Policy
In terms of the Editorial Board, the plagiarism is considered the following:
- the use of (quoting verbatim) any material in any volume, without specifying the source;
- the use of pictures, drawings, photos, tables, graphs, charts, and other forms of graphic representation of information without identifying the source;
- the use of pictures, drawings, photos, tables, graphs, charts, and other forms of graphical representation of the information published in scientific and popular publications without permission of the copyright;
- the use of materials without written permission from the authors or copyright holders if they prohibit the use of their materials without special agreement on their part.
The articles containing less than 85 % of the original text are not published in the journal. The Editorial Board does not welcome using an excessive number of citations, although properly presented. The allowable volume of admitted quotes must not exceed 30 % of the total volume of the article. Reviews and other articles that require (for objective reasons) a large number of citations will be examined by the editorial board individually. The Editorial Board does not welcome practices of publishing articles the content of which fully meets other scientific material published by the author (Ph.D. thesis, synopsis of doctoral theses, monographs).
