Privacy Statement

The Editor-in-chief, editorial team, and members of the journal’s Editorial Board should not disclose information about the article submitted to anyone other than the author(s), assigned and potential reviewers, other members of the Editorial Board or editorial team, and (if necessary) the publisher.

Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts should not be used by the Editor-in-chief, editorial team, members of the Editorial board for personal purposes, or transmitted to third parties (without written consent of the author(s)).

The reviewers undertake not to make public the contributions they have been working with, not to be engaged in any public discussion of confidential matters, and not to make copies from unpublished contributions for personal use.

In assessing submitted contribution, the journal team undertakes to respect the author(s)’ confidentiality. Reviewers will enjoy the same right. Comments made by reviewers should not be made public in any way without explicit permission from the reviewer, author(s) and Editor-in-chief.

Since during the publication preparation process personal information of the authors, in accordance with the law, is used by the Editorial Board of the journal, it is guaranteed that this information will not be disseminated, about what a corresponding agreement may be made at the request of the author.

If the research data in the original contribution contains names of those participating in the research or informants, as well as photos and other images of people, the author(s) must provide their explicit permission to publish these data and submit it to the journal. If the Editor-in-chief doubts that such permission has been obtained, which may lead to a potential conflict of interest, the journal team reserves the right to demand that a written statement of such permission be submitted by the author(s). If personal data of research participants or those providing any information have been modified to preserve their anonymity, the author(s) must make sure that such modifications do not diminish the validity of the results of the research (by adding a note on such modification in the text of the paper).
