POLITICS FOR PLAGIARISM AND SELF-PLAGIARISM
Plagiarism and self-plagiarism
A special case of illegal behavior of the authors is plagiarism – the publication (partially or in full) of scientific (creative) results obtained by other persons as the results of their own research (creativity) and / or reproduction of published texts (published works of art) of other authors without indication of authorship (Art. 42 of the Law of Ukraine “On Education”).
Plagiarism is theft of intellectual property, so the author's original articles submitted to the journal, which contain significant text borrowings from other articles, monographs, etc., without specifying authorship, will be immediately rejected.
Editors must check the manuscripts for the similarity of the text using the Unicheck service.
The journal provides reviewers with the above-mentioned reports for the final decision on the originality of the manuscript.
The publication (in part or in full) of their own previously published scientific results as new scientific results, without specifying this, is self-plagiarism.
To avoid this, when reusing the text from his previously published articles, the author (co-authors) must necessarily issue this text as a quote with the appropriate reference to the original source.
Policy of duplication of publications
Cases when authors reuse large parts of their publications without a clear link to the original source are considered duplication of the publication.
Examples of duplication are the publication of an identical article in several journals or adding a small amount of new data to a previously published article.
If the author wishes to submit to the journal an article that has been fully or partially already published or will be published in another journal, it is necessary to indicate the details in the cover letter before submission. The editorial board of the journal may consider such an article if another work is published in the language of the European Union, and its main results and conclusions are important for the Ukrainian-speaking audience. In such cases, the journal may publish a translation of the article into Ukrainian with the appropriate reference to a foreign source.
The editorial board shall consider materials that were previously part of a candidate's or doctoral dissertation, published on the rights of a manuscript in accordance with the requirements of the institution that awards qualifications.
The journal accepts for consideration articles containing texts published in conference materials, and does not consider it as duplication of publications. However, the article submitted for publication in the journal should contain significantly more advanced results, methodology, analysis, conclusions, conclusions than published in the conference materials.
The final decision is made by the editorial board based on the results of the analysis of the text of the article and the text published in the collection of conference materials or the presentation of the study. Authors must submit an electronic version of the conference materials together with the submission of the article and duly quote the text of the conference materials.
Authors must have all the necessary permissions to reuse previously published material and appropriate attribution.
If the author reused images published in another edition or protected by copyright, he must provide confirmation that the previous publisher or copyright holder has given permission to republish the image.
In case of detection of plagiarism, autoplagiarism or duplication of publications during review and editorial processing, the editorial board rejects the article without the right to re-submit. Manuscripts of articles in which, after checking for plagiarism, Unichесka significant percentage of text borrowings were found, the editorial board returns to the authors for revision.
