The Editorial Staff will not consider the articles that:

  • do not meet the requirements;

  • do not have scientific novelty and practical significance;

  • do not belong to the research areas of the journal;

  • are written with the use of computer-aided translation;

  • are not edited (contain grammatical and stylistic errors);

  • violate the ethics of scientific research, particularly if editorial staff reveals plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data fabrication, or duplicate publication.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) Usage Policy

The journal fully adheres to the “Recommendations for the Use of AI in Scientific Communication” developed by the European Association of Scientific Editors. We view the use of artificial intelligence as a convenient and effective tool in the hands of a scientist. Using any tool, the results obtained should be carefully checked and interpreted with knowledge of the matter. Since the peculiarity of AI is the generative function (creating text, processing data and producing reports, etc.), this tool can be used dishonestly in the preparation of scientific articles.

Therefore, the policy on the use of AI is closely related to the issue of academic integrity. The editors count on each author to voluntarily declare the use of AI in the preparation of materials for our journal. When submitting a manuscript, we require that the Author’s Declaration on the Use of AI be uploaded as a separate file, in which the author declares how and for what purpose this tool was used in the preparation of the article. The editors place the edited content of this file at the end of the article before the list of references (see example):

Declaration on Generative Artificial Intelligence and Technologies Using Artificial Intelligence in the Writing Process.

During the preparation of this article, the authors used ChatGPT4o to search for scientific sources. After using this tool, the authors checked and analyzed the proposed sources. The AI ​​Assistant tool integrated into Adobe Acrobat Online was also used to analyze the content of the sources. The authors of the article are fully responsible for the correct use and citation of sources.

The following file content is allowed: Artificial intelligence was not used in the preparation of this article.
