Ethical Obligations of Editors of Journal and Attribution

The Editor-in-Chief directs and supervises the policies of a journal and is responsible for maintaining its scientific and literary quality.

When deciding on the publication the chief editor of the scientific journal is guided by authenticity of the submitted data and the scientific significance of the reviewed work.

An editor and members should give unbiased consideration to all manuscripts offered for publication, judging each on its merits without regard to race, religion, nationality, sex, seniority, or institutional affiliation of the author(s).

The editor and members of the editorial team should not disclose information about a manuscript under consideration to anyone other than those from whom professional advice is sought. After a decision the editor may disclose manuscript titles and authors’ names of papers that have been accepted for publication.

An editor should consider manuscripts submitted for publication with all reasonable speed and attention.

The sole responsibility for acceptance or rejection of a manuscript rests with the editor. Manuscripts may be rejected without review if considered inappropriate for the journal.

If an editor is presented with convincing evidence that the main substance or conclusions of a report published in an editor’s journal are erroneous, the editor should facilitate publication of an appropriate report or note pointing out the error and, if possible, correcting it.

Editorial responsibility and authority for any manuscript authored by an editor and submitted to the editor’s journal should be delegated to some other qualified person. Editorial consideration of the manuscript in any way or form by the author-editor would constitute a conflict of interest.

Unpublished information, or interpretations disclosed in a submitted manuscript should not be used in an editor’s own research except with the consent of the author. When a manuscript is so closely related to the research of an editor as to create a conflict of interest, the editor should arrange for some other qualified person to take editorial responsibility for that manuscript.

The article, in case of approval of its publication, is placed in open access with copyright reserved by the authors.

The chief editor together with the publisher should not leave unanswered claims relating to the reviewed manuscripts or published materials. In case of a conflict situation they should take all necessary measures to restore infringed rights, and in case of detected errors – to promote the publication of corrections or refutations.

The chief editor, the staff of the editorial or the journal publishing and editorial group must ensure the confidentiality of the names and other information relating to reviewers. If it is necessary, when deciding on assigning new reviewer, the latter may be informed of the names of previous reviewers.

Ethical Obligations of Authors

An author presents a concise and accurate report of their research and an objective discussion of its significance.

Ensure that research results contained in the manuscript, are an independent and original work. When using fragments of others’ work and/or borrowing statements of other authors, the article should have appropriate references with the obligatory indication of the author and the source. Excessive borrowing and plagiarism in any form, including incomplete references, paraphrasing or appropriation of rights to the results of others’ research is unethical and unacceptable. Articles which are a compilation of material published by other authors without own creative processing and author thinking are not accepted by the editorial.

Realize that the author(s) is (are) responsible for the initial novelty and reliability of the results of scientific research.

Present in the journal only the original manuscript. Do not submit to the journal articles that have been sent to another journal and are now pending review, as well as articles published previously in another journal. Failure to observe this principle is regarded as gross misconduct of publication ethics and gives reason for removing the article from the review. If elements of the manuscript were previously published in another article, the authors are obliged to refer to their earlier work and specify how the new work is significantly different from the previous one. Verbatim copying of own work and its paraphrasing is unacceptable, it can only be used as a basis for new conclusions.

A primary research report should contain sufficient detail and reference to public sources of information to permit the author’s peers to repeat the work.

An author should cite those publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work and that will guide the reader quickly to the earlier work that is essential for understanding the present investigation.

Fragmentation of research reports must be avoided.

It is improper for an author to submit manuscripts describing essentially the same research to more than one journal of primary publication, unless it is a resubmission of a manuscript rejected for or withdrawn from publication.

All sources should be disclosed, and if a significant amount of other people’s material is to be used, permission must be sought by the author in accordance with copyright law. An author should not use privately obtained information (for example information obtained through conversation), or information obtained through the performance of a confidential service (for example the refereeing of a manuscript), without permission from the person from whom the information originated.

In submitting a manuscript for publication, an author should inform the editor of related manuscripts that the author has under editorial consideration or in press.

An author should identify the source of all information quoted or offered, except that which is common knowledge. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, should not be used or reported in the author’s work.

At no time is personal criticism ever considered to be appropriate in a written piece of work.

To give due acknowledgement to all workers contributing to the work. Those who have contributed significantly to the research should be listed as co-authors. On submission of the manuscript, the corresponding author attests to the fact that those named as co-authors have agreed to its submission for publication and accepts the responsibility for having properly included all (and only) co-authors. Any change in authorship after initial submission must be approved by all authors and justified to the Editor.

The authors should reveal to the editor any potential conflict of interest that might be affected by publication of the results contained in a manuscript.

Ethical Obligations of Reviewers

A reviewer should respect the intellectual independence of the authors.

The editors of the journal “Ukrainian Language” support global standards for the transparency of the review process, which is confidential. The executive secretary and reviewers do not provide information relating to the manuscript (including information about its receipt, content, review process, criticism of reviewers and the final conclusion) to anyone other than the authors and reviewers themselves.

When a manuscript is received by the editor, it is checked by the executive secretary for compliance with formal requirements. At the same time, an external review of a doctor of science, a specialist in the research topic, is attached to the manuscript. Then the executive secretary manuscript is sent for a blind review by one of the members of the editorial board of the journal. In this case, the manuscript removes all the data that can identify the author of the article. After passing a blind review by a member of the editorial board, a review is being prepared – a questionnaire, which is assessed by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal and the other members of the editorial board. After that, the author is informed of the decision of the Chief Editor and the editorial board regarding the acceptance or non-acceptance of the manuscript for publication. Additionally, the author may be provided with the comments of the reviewer without specifying his name or any other information that allows identifying the reviewer from among the members of the editorial board of the journal.
