ETHICS POLICY

Ethics Policy

Версия для печати

Publication in a peer-reviewed journal is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of authors, their institutions and editors of the journal. Therefore it is important that all the parties involved in the publishing process – authors, members of the editorial panel, peer reviewers and editors – collaborate on the basis of goodwill, responsibility and impartiality. In view of this, our journal, Vestnik of Northern (Arctic) Federal University, ensures that all the parties conform to a certain policy of ethics.

1. Authors

Authors submitting their manuscripts for publication in Vestnik of Northern (Arctic) Federal University should ensure that their work

  •  is original (has not been previously published elsewhere in its current form or with similar content);
  •  is not submitted to any other editorial office and that all conflicts of interest, if any, in terms of copyright and publication of this paper have been settled;
  •  does not violate any existing copyright;
  •  does not contain any scientific or technical data linked to state, official or trade secret.

Authors should not:

  • duplicate the works of others without crediting the authors, citing the source or using quotation marks;
  •  incorrectly paraphrase the works of others, changing more than one sentence in a paragraph or section of text or arranging the sentences in a different order without proper reference to the source;
  • use parts of the works of others (such as figures, tables or text paragraphs) without crediting the author, citing the source or using quotation marks;
  • self-plagiarise: the authors should specify that their work is published for the first time; if parts of the manuscript have previously been published in another article, including any article in our journal, the authors should refer to the previous work and indicate the fundamental difference of the new work from that earlier one, and at the same time reveal its relationship with the findings and conclusions presented in the previous work. Duplication and paraphrasing of one’s own works are unacceptable.

For convenience of distribution and in order to implement our policy on the use of materials, the authors transfer the exclusive ownership of the manuscript to the publisher.

2. Members of the Editorial Panel

  • are responsible for everything that is published in the journal;
  • should make fair and unbiased decisions independent from commercial consideration and ensure a fair and appropriate peer review process;
  • should guard the integrity of the published record, make corrections when needed and issue grounded rejections to the authors whose manuscripts fail to meet the requirements or research and publication ethics;
  • handle editorial conflicts of interest.

3. Peer reviewers

  • should assess the manuscripts in a timely manner and respect the confidentiality of peer review;
  • should be objective and unbiased in their reviews, proving their opinion by giving reference to the source, if necessary;
  • should trace and stop any potential conflict of interest.

4. Editors

  • should adhere to the ethics policy and make efforts to prevent its violation;
  • should help the authors improve the submitted manuscripts by editing them;
  • should not disclose the content of a negative review to anyone other than the author;
  • should prevent any disclosure of confidential information obtained in the course of correspondence with the author;
  • reserve the right to reject the manuscript in case of violation of the above rules.
