Scientific Integrity Policy
The editorial board of "Economics and Law" accepts only original articles that have not been previously published. All articles received by the Journal Editorial Board undergo a mandatory check for plagiarism using the StrikePlagiarism system (contract No. 11/2023 dated 01.06.2023)
We believe that plagiarism in scientific publications is a violation of professional ethics norms in the relationship of authors, reviewers, editors, publishers and readers, which contradicts the provision on Ethical Policy.
The editorial board of the publication analyses all cases of recorded plagiarism and reserves the right to reject the submitted manuscript without review. Scientific articles submitted to the editorial office of the journal are checked according to the following indicators:
- if the originality of the manuscript is over 85% – the material is allowed for review;
- if the originality of the article is from 75 to 85% – the author should verify the correctness of the citations and references to the sources used;
- if the originality is less than 75% – the material is not accepted for consideration.
No more than 3% of borrowings from one source are allowed.
The percentage of plagiarism is calculated using software that checks documents for borrowings both in the local database and on the Internet, as well as the use of artificial intelligence. The resulting report is evaluated by the editorial board.
If the fact of borrowing text or using artificial intelligence was registered after publication, the editorial team conducts a thorough analysis.
The editorial staff of the journal will contact the author without fail and inform about this incident. If a violation of publication ethics regarding plagiarism in scientific articles is confirmed, the article may be retracted.
Scientific Journal "Economics and Law" adheres to the highest standards of academic ethics, in line with the international recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
