Publishing Ethics

For the journal “Innovations in Preschool and Primary Education”, it is fundamental to adhere to the ethical norms and standards defined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and Publishing Ethics Resource Kit (PERK) . The journal's policy is based on maintaining a high level of integrity in the publication of scientific articles. In its activities, the journal is guided by the following basic principles:

• All participants in the publication process (authors, reviewers, editors) must adhere to ethical standards in their interaction, avoiding discrimination and unethical behaviour.
• The authors are responsible for the submitted materials. The information in the articles must be truthful, verified and scientifically sound. Any manipulation of information or falsification of research results is unacceptable.
• All authors should be involved in writing the publication, and the contribution of each co-author should be clearly defined. The publication should be published only with the consent of all co-authors.
• The journal is based on an integrity policy, and plagiarism or unauthorised use of the intellectual property of others is unacceptable.
• All scientific sources in the list of references must be properly cited.
• Authors are required to disclose any potential conflicts of interest that may affect the research results, their interpretation or publication.

The editorial board of the journal strives to ensure that all participants in the publication process - authors, reviewers and the editorial team - adhere to these principles.
