7. Academic Integrity

The editorial board strictly adheres to the principles of academic integrity and publication ethics in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Plagiarism is defined as the verbatim or paraphrased reproduction of another’s text, ideas or results without proper attribution - regardless of the volume of the borrowing. All manuscripts are checked using specialised software.

In the event that plagiarism or other violations are identified, the editorial board acts in accordance with COPE procedures:

• at the review stage - the manuscript is rejected;
• after publication - the article is retracted with a mandatory public notice.

Improper use of artificial intelligence tools (text generation without disclosure, fabrication of results) constitutes a violation of publication ethics. For further details, see the AI Use Policy.
