Publication Ethics

The editors of the Eurasian Journal of History are responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published. In evaluating submitted works, editors should limit themselves to intellectual content only. Editors may disregard any material that violates legal requirements regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. Editors must ensure the confidentiality of submitted works until they are published.

 The journal’s publication policy is based on the following principles: objectivity and impartiality in the selection of articles for publication; high standards for the quality of scientific research; collegiality in decision-making regarding the publication of articles; accessibility and responsiveness in communication with authors; strict observance of copyright and related rights; strict adherence to the journal's publication schedule.

EDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES

 Decisions on publication: the editor of the journal is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published. Such decisions should always be based on confirmation of the authenticity of the work under consideration and its importance to researchers and readers. The editor may be guided by the editorial board's policy and be limited by applicable legal norms regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism.

Impartial review: the editor should evaluate manuscripts based on their intellectual content, regardless of the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political views.

AUTHORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

Authors of scientific papers representing original research must provide an accurate description of the work performed, as well as an objective discussion of its significance. The source data must be correctly presented in the article. The article must contain sufficiently detailed information and references to enable others to reproduce the work. Falsified or knowingly inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable.

Originality and plagiarism: authors must ensure that their work is entirely original, and if they have used the work and/or words of other authors, this must be properly acknowledged or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from publishing someone else's work as your own to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of someone else's work (without attribution) and appropriating the results of research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms is unethical behavior in publishing and is unacceptable.

As a rule, authors should not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Simultaneous submission of the same manuscript to several journals is unethical behavior in publishing and is unacceptable. As a rule, authors should not submit previously published articles for consideration to another journal.

Authorship of the article: authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the presented research. All individuals who have made a significant contribution should be listed as co-authors. The responsible author must ensure that all relevant co-authors are listed and that there are no inappropriate ones, and that all co-authors have read the final version of the article, approved it, and agreed to its submission for publication.

 REVIEWERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES

The review process helps the editor and editorial board make editorial decisions and can also help the author improve the manuscript.

Promptness: any reviewer who feels they are not competent to review the research presented in the manuscript, or who knows that they will be unable to review it in a timely manner, should notify the editor and decline to participate in the review process.

Confidentiality: all manuscripts received for review should be considered confidential documents. They should not be disclosed or discussed with others, except when permitted by the editor.

Standards of objectivity: reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable. Reviewers should clearly express their views, supporting them with arguments.

 Disclosure and conflict of interest:  confidential information or ideas obtained during the review process must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not review manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest arising from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions associated with the work.

 PUBLISHER'S RESPONSIBILITIES

In cases of suspected or proven scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication, or plagiarism, the publisher, in close cooperation with the editor, will take all appropriate measures to clarify the situation and make changes to the manuscript  in question. This includes the immediate publication of a correction or, in the most serious cases, the complete retraction of the work in question. The publisher, together with the editors, undertakes to take reasonable steps to identify and prevent the publication of manuscripts  in which there has been a breach of ethical standards in scientific research, and under no circumstances to encourage such breaches or knowingly allow them to occur.

Access to journal content: the publisher strives to ensure the continued availability and preservation of manuscripts and guarantees accessibility by maintaining its own digital archive.
