Publication ethics
The publisher strives to comply with the highest standards of scientific ethics, ensuring transparency and objectivity at every stage of editorial work.
Principles that are mandatory for our authors
-
Originality and honesty
All articles submitted to ''Professional Bulletin'' must be the result of original research. Authors are required to present their data and conclusions honestly, avoiding any form of falsification, fabrication or manipulation of results. -
No plagiarism
Authors must ensure that their work is original and that all material and ideas are properly cited. Plagiarism, including the unauthorized use of text, ideas, images, or data is strictly prohibited. -
Correct authorship
The list of authors should include only those individuals who have made a significant contribution to the research. It is unethical to add "honest" authorship or to exclude those who deserve to be listed as co-authors. All authors must agree with the final version of the manuscript and give their consent for publication. -
Reliable citation
Authors must correctly cite works that have influenced their research and ensure that all references are accurate. Providing false information when citing is an ethical violation. -
Conflict of interest
Authors are required to disclose any financial or personal conflicts of interest that might influence the interpretation of the data or the results of the study. -
Ethical standards for experiments
If the study involves experiments involving humans or animals, authors must comply with relevant international and national ethical standards. It is necessary to indicate that the study was approved by the relevant ethics committees and provide information about the consent obtained from the participants (if applicable). -
Correcting errors
If authors discover serious errors or inaccuracies in their published work, they are obliged to immediately notify the editors and cooperate in correcting or retracting the publication.
Adherence to these principles ensures high standards of scientific integrity and helps increase trust in the publications of our publishing house.
