Principles of the reviewer's publication ethics

The principle of objectivity of reviewing. Reviewer (s) of the journal “Tiltanym” undertakes to conduct an expert assessment of the manuscript objectively. Personal criticism of the author (s) of the manuscript is unacceptable. The reviewer must justify his comments and decision to accept the manuscript or reject it.

If it is impossible to conduct assessment of the article and prepare a review within the prescribed time, the reviewer must immediately notify the scientific editor about this.

The reviewer who considers that his qualification does not correspond or is insufficient for making a decision when reviewing the submitted manuscript should immediately inform the scientific editor about this and refuse to review the manuscript.

The principle of confidentiality on the part of the reviewer. The manuscript submitted to the reviewer for review should be considered as confidential material.

If the reviewer has sufficient grounds to believe that the manuscript contains plagiarism, incorrect borrowings, false and fabricated materials or research results, he should not allow the manuscript to be published and inform the scientific editor of the journal about the revealed violations of the principles, standards and norms of publication and scientific ethics.

Conflict of interests

A conflict of interests, as defined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), is a conflict situation in which authors, reviewers or members of the editorial board have implicit interests that can influence their judgments about the published material. A conflict of interests arises when there are financial, personal or professional conditions that may affect the scientific judgment of the reviewer and the members of the editorial board, and, as a result, the decision of the editorial board regarding the publication of the manuscript.

The responsible editor of the journal should require all participants in the process of publishing the manuscript to disclose the conflict of interests.

The scientific editor, a member of the editorial board and reviewers should notify about a potential conflict of interests that may somehow affect the decision of the editorial board. Members of the editorial board should refuse to consider the manuscript if they are in any competitive relations related to the results of the research of the author (s) of the manuscript, or if there is another conflict of interests.

When submitting a manuscript for consideration to the journal, the author (s) declares that all sources of research funding are indicated in the content of the manuscript; they also indicate what commercial, financial, personal or professional factors exist that could create a conflict of interests in relation to the submitted manuscript. The author (s), in the cover letter, if there is a conflict of interests, can indicate scientists who, in their opinion, will not be able to objectively evaluate their manuscript. 

The reviewer should not consider manuscripts that may cause a conflict of interests arising from competition, cooperation or other relations with any of the authors related to the manuscript.

If there is a conflict of interests with the content of the manuscript, the responsible editor must notify the scientific editor about this, after which the scientific editor assigns the verification and review of the manuscript to another editor/reviewer.

The existence of a conflict of interests between the participants in the review process does not mean that the manuscript will be rejected.

All interested parties should, as far as possible, avoid the occurrence of a conflict of interests in any variations at all stages of publication. In the event of any conflict of interests, the person who discovered this conflict should immediately notify the editorial office. The same applies to any other violations of the principles, standards and norms of publication and scientific ethics.
