The Owner of the scientific journal, the Editorial Council, and the Editorial Board are not responsible for the reliability of the information provided by the authors of the research.

By submitting the manuscript of the article to the scientific journal, the author accepts personal responsibility for the originality of the research, for the correctness and accuracy of the data, facts, citations, proper names, geographical names, surnames, initials, and other information provided by them, as well as for the inclusion of data in the article that are not subject to open publication, and entrusts the owner of the scientific journal to make the work public through its publication in print.

By submitting the text of the article for publication in the scientific journal, the author guarantees the correctness of all information about themselves, the absence of plagiarism and other forms of unlawful borrowing in the article's manuscript, and the proper formatting of all borrowings of text, tables, diagrams, and illustrations. The authors of published materials are responsible for the selection and accuracy of the facts, citations, statistical data, and other information provided.

Adherence to ethical standards in preparing a publication is directly related to ensuring the scientific integrity of the research. In this regard, the editorial office pays special attention not only to the correctness of formatting borrowings but also to methodological transparency, which allows for the verification and reproducibility of the results obtained.

Reproducibility: Authors of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed, as well as an objective discussion of its significance. In every original article, the reproducibility of research results is ensured, and the research methodology is described, indicating the origin of equipment and materials (company, country), methods of statistical data processing, and other ways of ensuring reproducibility.

Data Sharing: Upon request from the editorial office, authors must provide the raw data of the study and be prepared to provide open access to such data, if practically feasible, and in any case, must be prepared to retain this data for 5 years after publication.
