If the reviewer has sufficient grounds to believe that the manuscript contains plagiarism, incorrect borrowings, false and fabricated materials or research results, then he should not allow the manuscript to be published and inform the responsible journal about the revealed violations of the principles, standards, and norms of publication and scientific ethics.

Conflict of interest

A conflict of interest is a conflict situation in which authors, reviewers, or members of the editorial board have implicit interests that can influence their judgments about the published material. A conflict of interest appears when there are financial, personal, or professional conditions that may affect the scientific judgment of the reviewer and the members of the editorial board, and, as a result, the decision of the editorial board regarding the publication of the manuscript.

The responsible editor of the journal should require all participants in the process of publishing the manuscript to disclose the conflict of interest.

The responsible editor, a member of the editorial board, and reviewers should notify about a potential conflict of interests that may somehow affect the decision of the editorial board. Members of the editorial board should refuse to consider the manuscript if they are in any competitive relations related to the results of the research of the author (s) of the manuscript, or if there is another conflict of interests.

When submitting a manuscript for consideration to the journal, the author (s) declares that all sources of research funding are indicated in the content of the manuscript; they also indicate what commercial, financial, personal, or professional factors exist that could create a conflict of interest in relation to the submitted manuscript. The author (s), in the cover letter, if there is a conflict of interests, can indicate scientists who, in their opinion, will not be able to objectively evaluate their manuscript.

The reviewer should not consider manuscripts that may cause a conflict of interest arising from competition, cooperation, or other relations with any of the authors related to the manuscript.

If there is a conflict of interest with the content of the manuscript, the responsible editor must notify the editor-in-chief about this, after which he will delegate the review and review of the manuscript to another editor/reviewer.

The existence of a conflict of interest between the participants in the review process does not mean that the manuscript will be rejected.

All interested parties should, as far as possible, avoid the occurrence of a conflict of interest in any variations at all stages of publication. In the event of any conflict of interest, the person who discovered this conflict should immediately notify the editorial office. The same applies to any other violations of the principles, standards, and norms of publication and scientific ethics.
