Compliance with the principles and recommendations of cope, wame, dora

In its work, the editorial board is guided by the principles of COPE, WAME, DORA, and related frameworks, which represent global standards for scientific publications ensuring ethics, transparency, and publication quality. These principles define the contemporary standard for ethical and high-quality scholarly communication, and uphold the quality, transparency, and impartiality of the scientific process.

 

COPE Principles:

1. Academic integrity: avoidance of plagiarism and data falsification.

2. Transparency of peer review: clear submission procedures, independent and objective reviewing.

3. Accountability: clear procedures for correcting errors (retraction or clarification).

4. Correct authorship: clear definition of each author's contribution.

 

WAME Principles:

1. Editorial independence: the journal's founder has no right to influence publication decisions.

2. Publication quality: adherence to high standards in research.

3. Professionalism: the editorial board makes decisions based solely on the scholarly value of a publication, without bias regarding race, gender, or other characteristics.

4. Declaration of conflicts of interest: mandatory disclosure of financial or personal relationships that may affect the objectivity of a study.

 

DORA Principles:

1. Assessment of content: research in an article is evaluated on the basis of its scholarly merit, not the journal's rating.

2. Rejection of the Impact Factor: this indicator is not used to assess the quality of individual publications or the scholarly contribution of a specific author.

3. Openness: use of open access to publications and transparent evaluation methods.

4. Recognition of diverse research outputs: not only articles but also data, methodologies, software, patents, and other contributions are evaluated.

 

ICMJE Principles:

Definition of authorship in accordance with actual contribution; ensuring the ethical conduct of research (particularly with respect to the involvement of human subjects and data); and a commitment to openness and the availability of research materials.

 

Open Science Principles:

Promotion of open access to scientific results.

 

FAIR Data Principles:

Ensuring findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability of data.

 

Plan S Principles:

Support for publication policies in open-access journals and repositories.

 

Compliance with the principles and recommendations of COPE, WAME, DORA, and related frameworks is a mandatory requirement for authors, reviewers, and members of the journal's editorial board, and is directed at ensuring the high quality of publications, academic integrity, and confidence in scholarly findings.
