1. All articles received by the editorial board are checked for direct borrowings in the system "Anti-plagiarism" and check for the presence of the sent texts on the Internet (through search engines). Texts in foreign languages are checked by Similarity Check and other similar tools.

If the editorial staff has grounds for a more detailed check, additional tools are brought in to search for borrowings.

Articles in which signs of technical modifications to artificially increase the uniqueness of the text are found are not published in the journal. The originality of the article must be at least 80%.

2. Plagiarism is considered to be:

- the use (verbatim quotation) of any materials in any volume without indicating the source and appropriate execution of the quotation;

- use of images, drawings, photos and other forms of graphic representation of information without indicating the source and coordination with the right holder;

Excessive citation (even properly formatted) is not welcome. The permissible volume of citations, established by the editorial board - no more than 20% of the total volume of the article. Incorrect borrowings are excluded.

Authors should also refrain from self-citation. The editors do not welcome the publication of articles, the content of which fully corresponds to other scientific materials of the author (thesis, abstract, monograph, published article).

Reviews and other articles that, for objective reasons, require more citations are considered on an individual basis
