Ethics of scientific publications
The section is prepared based on the materials Elsevier Scientific Literature Publishing Houses, as well as according to the materials The International Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
1. Introduction
1.1. The publication of materials in peer-reviewed journals is not only a simple way of scientific communication, but also makes a significant contribution to the development of the relevant field of scientific knowledge. Thus, it is important to set standards for the future ethical behavior of all parties involved in the publication, namely: Authors, Editors of the journal, Reviewers, Publishers and Scientific Society for the journal "Education Management: Theory and Practice".
1.2. The publisher not only supports scientific communication and invests in this process, but is also responsible for compliance with all modern recommendations in the published work.
1.3. The Publisher undertakes to strictly monitor scientific materials. Our journal programs provide an unbiased "report" of the development of scientific thought and research, so we are also aware of the responsibility for the proper presentation of these "reports", especially from the point of view of the ethical aspects of the publications set out in this document.
2. Duties of Editors
2.1. Decision on publication
The editor of the scientific journal "Education Management: Theory and Practice" is personally and independently responsible for making a decision on publication, often in cooperation with the relevant Scientific Society. The reliability of the work under consideration and its scientific significance should always be the basis of the decision on publication. The editor can be guided by the policy of the Editorial Board of the journal "Education Management: Theory and Practice", being limited by the current legal requirements regarding libel, copyright, legality and plagiarism.
The editor may consult with other Editors and Reviewers (or officials of the Scientific Society) during the decision-making on publication.
2.2. Decency
The editor should evaluate the intellectual content of the manuscripts regardless of the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious views, origin, citizenship or political preferences of the Authors.
2.3. Confidentiality
The editor and the Editorial Board of the journal "Education Management: Theory and Practice" are obliged not to disclose information about the accepted manuscript to all persons, except for the Authors, Reviewers, possible Reviewers, other scientific consultants and the Publisher.
2.4. Disclosure Policy and Conflicts of Interest
2.4.1. Unpublished data obtained from the submitted manuscripts cannot be used in personal research without the written consent of the Author. Information or ideas obtained during the review and related to possible benefits should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain.
2.4.2. Editors should recuse themselves from reviewing manuscripts (namely, request a Co-Editor, an Assistant editor or cooperate with other members of the Editorial Board when reviewing the work instead of personally reviewing and making a decision) in case of conflicts of interest due to competitive, joint and other interactions and relationships with Authors, companies and, possibly, other organizations related to the manuscript.
2.5. Supervision of publications
The editor, who has provided convincing evidence that the statements or conclusions presented in the publication are erroneous, should inform the Publisher (and/or the relevant Scientific Society) about this in order to notify as soon as possible about changes, withdrawal of the publication, expression of concern and other statements relevant to the situation.
2.6. Involvement and cooperation in the framework of research
The Editor, together with the Publisher (or the Scientific Society), take adequate response measures in case of ethical claims concerning the reviewed manuscripts or published materials. Such measures generally include interaction with the Authors of the manuscript and argumentation of the relevant complaint or claim, but may also involve interaction with relevant organizations and research centers.
3. Duties of Reviewers
3.1. Influence on the decisions of the Editorial Board
Reviewing helps the Editor to make a decision about the publication and through appropriate interaction with the Authors can also help the Author to improve the quality of the work. Reviewing is a necessary link in formal scientific communications, which is at the heart of the scientific approach. The publisher shares the point of view that all scientists who want to contribute to the publication are obliged to perform significant work on reviewing the manuscript.
3.2. Performance
Any selected Reviewer who feels that he does not have sufficient qualifications to review the manuscript or does not have enough time to quickly complete the work should notify the Editor of the journal "Education Management: Theory and Practice" and ask him to exclude him from the review process of the corresponding manuscript.

Any manuscript received for review should be treated as a confidential document. This work cannot be opened and discussed with any persons who do not have the authority to do so from the Editor.
3.4. Requirements for the manuscript and objectivity
The reviewer is obliged to give an objective assessment. Personal criticism of the Author is unacceptable. Reviewers should clearly and reasonably express their opinion.
3.5. Recognition of primary sources
Reviewers should identify significant published works that correspond to the topic and are not included in the bibliography of the manuscript. Any statement (observation, conclusion or argument) published earlier should have a corresponding bibliographic reference in the manuscript. The reviewer should also draw the Editor's attention to the discovery of a significant similarity or coincidence between the manuscript under consideration and any other published work that is within the scope of the Reviewer's scientific competence.
3.6. Disclosure Policy and Conflicts of Interest
3.6.1. Unpublished data obtained from the submitted manuscripts cannot be used in personal research without the written consent of the Author. Information or ideas obtained during the review and related to possible benefits should remain confidential and not be used for personal gain.
