Publication Ethics
The editorial board of the journal "Ukrainian Literature: Historical Experience and Perspectives" follows a certain level of requirements for the selection and acceptance of articles submitted to the editorial board. These norms are determined by the scientific direction of the journal and the quality standards of scientific papers and their presentation accepted in the scientific community.
The editorial board calls for adherence to the principles of the Code of Ethics for Scientific Publications developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
Ethical obligations of editors
The editor should consider all manuscripts submitted for publication without prejudice, evaluating each one properly, regardless of race, religion, nationality, or the position or place of work of the author(s).
Information is not allowed for publication if there are sufficient grounds to believe that it is plagiarized.
All materials submitted for publication are carefully selected and reviewed. The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject an article or return it for revision. The author is obliged to revise the article in accordance with the comments of the reviewers or the editorial board.
The editor's decision to accept an article for publication is based on such characteristics of the article as the importance of the results, originality, quality of presentation, and relevance to the journal's profile. Manuscripts may be rejected without review if the editor believes that they do not meet the journal's profile. In making such decisions, the editor may consult with members of the editorial board or reviewers.
Ethical obligations of authors
Authors should ensure that they have written completely original articles and that if they have used the work or words of others, it has been properly acknowledged in the form of references or quotations in quotation marks.
Submitting an identical article to more than one journal is considered unethical behavior and is unacceptable.
The article should be structured, contain sufficient references and be formatted in accordance with the requirements.
Unfair or deliberately inaccurate statements in the article constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
The author who corresponds with the editorial board should ensure that all co-authors have read and approved the final version of the article and agreed to its publication.
Ethical obligations of reviewers
To ensure the objectivity of the evaluation of manuscripts, the editorial board adheres to a double-blind review.
Since the review of manuscripts is an essential step in the publication process and, thus, in the implementation of the scientific method as such, each scientist is obliged to perform a certain share of review work.
If the selected reviewer is not sure that his or her qualifications correspond to the level of research presented in the manuscript, he or she should immediately return the manuscript.
The reviewer should objectively evaluate the quality of the manuscript, the experimental and theoretical work presented, its interpretation and presentation, and take into account the extent to which the work meets high scientific and literary standards. The reviewer should respect the intellectual independence of the authors.
Reviewers should adequately explain and justify their judgments so that editors and authors can understand the basis for their comments. Any statement that an observation, conclusion, or argument has been previously published should be accompanied by a corresponding reference.
The reviewer should draw the editor's attention to any substantial similarity between this manuscript and any published article or any manuscript simultaneously submitted to another journal.
Reviewers should not use or disclose unpublished information, arguments, or interpretations contained in this manuscript unless the author has given his/her consent.
All materials submitted to the editorial board of the journal "Ukrainian Literature: Historical Experience and Perspectives" that meet the formal criteria are reviewed at a meeting of the editorial board for relevance to the journal's subject matter. After that, the circle of reviewers is determined. The review of materials is completely anonymous for the author and reviewer (double-blind).
The chairman of the editorial board is responsible for organizing the review of articles and maintaining academic integrity.
Reviewers evaluate articles according to the following criteria:
- Sufficiency of disclosure of the article's relevance;
- justification of the connection between the problem posed in the article and important scientific or practical tasks;
- substantiation of the scientific results obtained;
- scientific conclusions and their relevance to the purpose of the article.
The reviewer also assesses the author's knowledge of the scientific literature on the range of issues discussed, including international experience; clarity of language and style, etc.
The reviewer provides conclusions on the feasibility of publication, indicating the main shortcomings of the article (if any), as well as a conclusion on the possibility of publication: "recommended", "recommended subject to correction of the mentioned shortcomings" or "not recommended".
