The Eastern European Union of Scientists' editorial policy and relations with authors, members of the editorial board, and reviewers are based on the principles of academic honesty, objectivity in reviewing, and the priority of scientific quality. The editorial board is guided by the principles of the Code of Conduct and Best Practices for Journal Editors developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

An author is a person whose contribution to the development of the submitted manuscript is significant, in particular in conceptualisation and design; literature review; methodology development and justification of relevance; formal analysis; investigation and data collection; data analysis and interpretation; drafting; reviewing and editing; supervision; project administration; fundraising, etc. In addition, if necessary, the author's contribution is essential when making changes to the article after review by the editorial board and review at all stages, from submission to final approval of the manuscript for publication. The author agrees to bear responsibility for the accuracy of the published facts, statistics, analysis results, accuracy and correctness of proper names, transliteration, compliance with the current grammar rules, adequacy of translation, absence of text without reference to primary sources (plagiarism), as well as text generated by artificial intelligence.

The author would like to thank those who assisted in writing the manuscript but were not included in the author's team. Acknowledgement should also be made of the grantors and other organisations that supported the project with funding and/or other resources.

If changes to the article's authors are necessary due to production, only the corresponding authors have the right to submit a request to the journal's editor or the chairman of the NGO "Eastern European Union of Scientists."

Authors should read the "Guidelines for Authors" on the relevant journal's page before submitting a manuscript. The manuscript should be prepared in compliance with all the established requirements, the journal's editorial policy, recommended citation styles, and article format.

All authors listed in the manuscript must meet the journal's authorship requirements. It is advisable to indicate the contribution of each author. All authors must approve the final version of the manuscript before submitting it. It is considered that after submitting the manuscript, each of the authors has read it and agreed to its consideration by the editorial board and review. It is a prerequisite that the manuscript contains the contact information of each author, in particular, full name according to the passport, affiliation, e-mail address, and telephone number. The manuscript must declare the presence or absence of a conflict of interest. The article should be submitted online through the Open Journal System or to the official e-mail address of the editorial office.

Authors must disclose all financial/relevant interests that may have influenced the development of the manuscript. Reviewers are obliged to disclose any conflict of interest and, if necessary, refuse to review manuscripts with a conflict of interest. Editors are also obliged to refuse to review those articles with which they may have a conflict of interest. Such manuscripts are passed on to other reviewers and editors.

Each manuscript received by the editorial board is considered confidential material. The Eastern European Union of Scientists imposes an embargo on disclosure of the details of the manuscript to all persons except those directly involved in the processing and preparation of the manuscript for publication in the event of a final recommendation for acceptance. Such persons are editorial staff, corresponding authors, reviewers and editors.

Any manifestations of misconduct, violations of the principles of academic integrity and editorial policy of the Eastern European Union of Scientists, including activities that threaten (compromise) the integrity of the research and/or publication process, are subject to investigation by the COPE guidelines.
