Author Guidelines

Ghostwriting and Guest authorship

In order to ensure academic reliability, the Editorial team introduced editorial policies regarding ghostwriting and obliges all the authors to disclose contributions from individual authors used in the creation of the publication (i.e. to disclose information about the authorship of concepts, postulates, methods, etc. used in the creation of the publication); the author who submits the manuscript bears main responsibility for disclosure.

Any detected cases of scientific misconduct or dishonesty (ghostwriting and guest authorship), and especially a failure to observe the ethical practices of academic research, will be unmasked and we will notify appropriate entities (institutions employing the dishonest authors, academic societies, associations of academic editors, etc.).

Articles submitted to us should be original, never-before-published pieces of writing and cannot be submitted for release in a different publication at the same time. Materials sent to us will not be returned to their authors.

Guideline for Authors

Submission of new texts for publication in our journal only through the journal profile on the Academic Journals Platform.

Please prepare footnotes and bibliography according to Chicago Style:
