Ethical standards of: Authors, Journal editors, Reviewers for the scientific journal “Current Issues in Philology and Pedagogical Linguistics”.
In accordance with the international rules of publication ethics and planning to enter the international information base of Scopus citation, the editorial staff of the journal carries out a strict check and evaluation of manuscripts for antiplagiarism, duplication or borrowing of previously published texts, including the author(s). Further republication of articles in other editions is also not allowed. Such articles will be retracted (withdrawn from databases) based on the conclusion of the Publication Ethics Commission, and authors found to be in violation of ethics will be subject to sanctions up to blacklisting, which will have a negative impact on their scientific reputation and make our further cooperation impossible.
Please comply with the rules of publication ethics and make good faith references to all sources used, preventing borrowing and duplication.
The authors’ central obligation is to present a concise, accurate account of the research performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to public sources of information.
The results of research should be recorded and maintained in a form that allows analysis and review, both by collaborators before publication and by other scholars for a reasonable period after publication. Exceptions may be appropriate in certain circumstances to preserve privacy or similar reasons.
Fabrication of data is an egregious departure from the expected norms of scholarly conduct, as is the selective reporting of data with the intent to mislead or deceive, as well as the theft of data or research results from others.
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others used in a research project must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, should not be used or reported without explicit permission from the investigator with whom the information originated. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, cannot be used without permission of the author of the work being used.
Authors must obtain permission for use of any previously published materials from the original publisher. Proof of permission must be provided before manuscripts containing previously published material can be published. Proper credit lines for all previously published material must be included in the manuscript.
Plagiarism constitutes unethical scholarly behavior and is never acceptable.
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the concept, design, execution, or interpretation of the research study. All those who have made significant contributions should be offered the opportunity to be listed as authors. Other individuals who have contributed to the study should be acknowledged, but not identified as authors. All authors should provide upon submission of the article their affiliation(s) to institutions at the time the research that is reported was conducted and/or written up.
All collaborators share some degree of responsibility for any paper they co-author. Every co-author should have the opportunity to review the manuscript before it is submitted for publication. Any individual unwilling or unable to accept appropriate responsibility for a paper should not be a co-author.
It is unethical for an author to publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal of primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently is unethical and unacceptable.
When an error is discovered in a published work, it is the obligation of all authors to promptly notify the publisher and discuss appropriate action (such as a retraction or erratum).
The author in relation to his work (article) owns the rights to use the work. For the publication of a work (publication and distribution), the author, within the framework of an author's agreement, transfers to the publisher the rights to publish it, while retaining the rights for his own use and distribution of his work (article). The publisher respects and supports the author in his desire to show the value of his research and to communicate their results to the scientific community. In relation to the Journal, the publisher defines these rights as follows: The authors, within the framework of the author's agreement, transfer the right of the first edition of the manuscript to the publisher, but reserve the right to the following:
• using your articles for personal purposes, within your organization and for the purpose of scientific exchange, with a link to the version of the article recording on the publisher's website;
• patents, trademarks and other intellectual property (including primary research data);
• proper attribution of authorship and source in relation to published works.
Discovering that the same manuscript has been submitted to more than one journal at the same time will be considered a violation of publication ethics. The editorial staff will reject publication of any manuscript under review or previously published in other publications.
Authors must submit fully original works. The references to the results of other authors' work should be accompanied by references to the relevant original sources (to be included in the list of literature). The citation of a text previously published elsewhere should be made as direct speech (quotes and italics) and the original source should be mentioned. Inclusion in the manuscript of large fragments of borrowed text is not allowed.
Manuscripts sent to our journal for publication are subject to mandatory verification for text plagiarism through the system "ANTIPLAGIAT" https://nosu.antiplagiat.ru/.
The publication of a certain type of articles (e.g. translation articles) is allowed in some cases (under certain conditions). When submitting a manuscript for a "secondary" publication, the authors should notify the editors and provide detailed justification of its appropriateness. In the case of "secondary" publication, the settlement of issues related to copyright for publication is decided on a case-by-case basis. The general rules of manuscript design for "secondary" publication are:
- the indication of a complete bibliographic reference to the "primary" publication;
- maintaining the original bibliography of the "primary" work.
Acknowledgement of Sources. Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved in these services.
Authorship of the Paper. Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication. Any individuals who have contributed to the article (e.g. technical assistance, formatting-related writing assistance, translators, scholarly discussions which significantly contributed to developing the article, etc.), but who do not meet the criteria for authorship should be listed by name and affiliation in an ‘Acknowledgments’ section. It is the responsibility of the authors to notify and obtain permission from those they wish to identify in this section. The process of obtaining permission should include sharing the article, so that those being identified can verify the context in which their contribution is being acknowledged.
Research objects and their risks. The manuscript should clearly indicate that voluntary informed consent has been obtained from all people who have become the objects of research. The authors are personally responsible for the fact that the manuscript does not reveal the identity of the research participants in any way. Authors should make sure that it is impossible to identify the objects of research based on the data presented in the manuscript.
Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest. All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed.

Decision making. The “Current Issues in Philology and Pedagogical Linguistics” Editor-in-Chief has ultimate responsibility for deciding if a manuscript submitted to the journal should be published, and in doing so is guided by the journal’s policies as determined by the editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement, and plagiarism. The Editor may consult with the Deputy Editor-in-Chief and other members of the editorial team, as well as with reviewers, in making publication decisions.
The editor of a journal has complete responsibility and authority to accept a submitted paper for publication or to reject it. The editor may confer with associate editors or reviewers for an evaluation to use in making this decision.
An editor should give prompt and unbiased consideration to all manuscripts offered for publication, judging each on its merits without regard to race, gender, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors, and respecting the intellectual independence of the authors. Situations that may lead to real or perceived conflicts of interest should be avoided.
The editor and the editorial staff should not disclose any information about a manuscript under consideration to anyone other than reviewers and potential reviewers. Unpublished information, arguments, or interpretations disclosed in a submitted manuscript should not be used in an editor’s own research except with the consent of the author.
An editor presented with convincing evidence that the substance or conclusions of a published paper are erroneous should promote the publication of a correction or retraction.
Non-discriminatory approach. The editors will evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to the race, color, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the author(s). They will not disclose any information about a manuscript under consideration to anyone other than the author(s), reviewers and potential reviewers, and in some instances the “Current Issues in Philology and Pedagogical Linguistics” editorial board members and the members of the management team, as appropriate. Additionally, the editors will make every effort to ensure the integrity of the blind review process by not revealing the identity of the author(s) of a manuscript to the reviewers of that manuscript, and vice versa.
Assessment of moral hazard. When evaluating a manuscript for publication, in addition to considering standard criteria pertaining to the rigor of the manuscript, the quality of its presentation, and its contribution to humanity’s stock of knowledge, the editors will also seek evidence that ethical harms have been minimized in the conduct of the reported research. They will question whether the benefits outweigh the harms in the particular study’s case. Since “Current Issues in Philology and Pedagogical Linguistics” welcomes the submission of manuscripts from any country, it is necessary to recognize that s and regulations regarding research ethics and ethical approval vary worldwide. As such, the editors may need to seek clarification in this regard with the author(s) and request that they supply a letter from the relevant institutional ethics committee or board that approved the research.
Terms and conditions of cooperation. Reviewers perform work for the journal on a volunteer basis. Given that most of these individuals are in full-time employment, their reviewing activities for “Current Issues in Philology and Pedagogical Linguistics” must, by necessity, not be their top priority. Reviewers are free to decline invitations to review particular manuscripts at their discretion, for example, if their current employment workload and/or other commitments make it prohibitive for them to complete a review in a timely fashion and to do justice to the task in the available timeframe. They should also not accept manuscript review assignments for which they feel unqualified.
Promptness. Reviewers who have accepted manuscript assignments are normally expected to submit their reviews within four weeks. They should remove themselves from the assignment if it becomes apparent to them at any stage that they do not possess the required expertise to perform the review, or that they may have a potential conflict of interest in performing the review (e. g., one resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, institutions, or companies associated with the manuscript).
Confidentiality policy. Privileged information or ideas obtained by reviewers through the peer review process must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents, and must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the “Current Issues in Philology and Pedagogical Linguistics” Editor-in-Chief.
Objectivity standards. When conducting their reviews, reviewers are asked to do so as objectively as possible, refraining from engaging in personal criticism of the author(s). They are encouraged to express their views clearly, explaining and justifying all recommendations made. They should always attempt to provide detailed and constructive feedback to assist the author(s) in improving their work, even if the manuscript is, in their opinion, not publishable.
Manuscript assessment. Reviewers should identify in their reviews relevant published work that has not been cited by the author(s), together with any instances in which proper attribution of sources has not been provided. They should call to the responsible editor’s attention any major resemblances between a manuscript under consideration and other published articles or papers of which they are aware, as well as any concerns they might have in relation to the ethical acceptability of the research reported in the manuscript.
