Authors guarantee that their manuscript is their original work, that it has not been previously published and is not under consideration for publication in other editions. Parallel submission of the same manuscript to another journal constitutes a violation and leads to the exclusion of the manuscript from consideration by the journal.

Please note that posting preprints on servers or in preprint repositories is not considered prior publication. Authors must disclose the details of the preprint posting when submitting the manuscript. This must include a link to the location of the preprint. Should the manuscript be published, authors must update the information associated with the preprint version on the server/repository to show that the final version has been published in the journal, including the DOI that links directly to the publication.

If the manuscript has previously been submitted elsewhere, authors must provide information about the previous peer review process and its outcome. This gives authors the opportunity to describe in detail how subsequent revisions have taken into account previous reviews and why certain reviewer comments were not taken into account. Information about the author’s previous reviewing experience is an advantage for the author: it often helps editors make the right choice of reviewers.

In the case that the submitted manuscript is the result of a research project or its previous version has been presented at a conference in the form of an oral presentation (under the same or similar title), detailed information about the project, the conference, etc. shall be provided in the footnotes or in the “Acknowledgements” section of the manuscript.

Each author bears responsibility for ensuring that manuscripts submitted to the journal are written in compliance with ethical standards.

Authors may submit for publication only materials that constitute original works. If the article incorporates excerpts from other works or materials protected by copyright and belonging to third parties, the authors are required to obtain all necessary written permissions from the copyright owners for any use of such materials and to provide the appropriate citation to the original source.

Authors must ensure that their article does not contain defamatory or unlawful statements, materials or claims, and does not infringe the rights of others (including, but not limited to, copyright, patent or trademark rights). The article must also not include any materials or instructions that could cause harm or result in losses to third parties.

 

Copyright and licensing

Authors retain copyright of the published papers and grant to the publisher the non-exclusive right to publish the article, to be cited as its original publisher in case of reuse, and to distribute it in all forms and media. Articles will be distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence.

Authors can enter the separate, additional contractual arrangements for non-exclusive distribution of the published paper (e.g., post it to an institutional repository or publish it in a book), with an acknowledgement of its initial publication in this journal.

 

Reporting Standards

The collection of scientific papers «Economic Herald of State Higher Educational Institution “Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology”» aims to serve the research community by ensuring that all articles contain sufficient information for other researchers to reproduce the work. The submitted manuscript must contain sufficient details and references so that reviewers, and subsequently readers, can verify the claims presented in it. The deliberate presentation of false claims is a violation of ethical standards.

Our goal is to ensure:

• Transparency: clear and complete disclosure of all research details.
• Reproducibility: providing sufficient information so that other researchers can repeat the experiment or analysis and obtain similar results.
• Verifiability: the ability for reviewers and readers to assess the validity and justification of the presented claims.

Reporting standards require authors to:

• Provide a full and accurate description of methods: this includes details about materials, equipment, experimental conditions, statistical methods, software, timeframes, data collection procedures, etc.
• Present data clearly: provide information on what data were collected and how, how they were processed, what exclusions were made, and what limitations existed.
• Provide comprehensive results: include in the articles not only significant results but also those that may be considered less informative, provided they are important for understanding the research.
• Disclose all relevant details: provide all research details that may be critical for its reproducibility.

Authors bear exclusive responsibility for the content of their materials and must ensure that they have permission from all involved parties to publish this content. Authors are also exclusively responsible for the content of their data/supplementary files. Authors confirm that data protection regulations, ethical standards, third-party copyright, and other rights were respected during the collection, processing, and sharing of data.

Authors who wish to include figures, tables, or other materials that have already been published in other sources are required to obtain permission from the copyright owner(s). Any material received without such confirmation will be considered to originate from the authors.

 

Inclusive Language

The collection of scientific papers “Economic Herald of State Higher Educational Institution “Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology” promotes the use of accessible and inclusive language to ensure broad understanding of scientific research and respect for all individuals without exception.

To ensure accessibility, authors should:

• Use clear, simple language that is understandable to representatives of different disciplines and to those for whom Ukrainian and/or English are not native languages;
• Avoid overly technical or unnecessary terminology, unnecessary complexity, long sentences, repetitions, uncommon abbreviations and contractions, stereotypes, idiomatic expressions, slang, and cultural assumptions;
• Explain technical terms when necessary;
• Use inclusive language, respect diversity, and avoid implying the superiority of any group based on gender, race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, health status, age, or socio-economic background.

 

Authorship

Authors must ensure that only those who have made a significant contribution to the creation of the material are listed as authors, and conversely, that all who have made a significant contribution to the creation of the material are listed as authors. If other persons were involved in important aspects of the research project and manuscript preparation, their contribution should be acknowledged in a footnote or in the “Acknowledgements” section.

To be listed as an author on the manuscript, an individual must meet the following five criteria:

1. Make a substantial contribution to the conception or design of the work, or make a substantial contribution to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work;
2. Contribute to the drafting of the work or its critical review with regard to important intellectual content;
3. Provide final approval of the version to be published;
4. Agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work, ensuring appropriate investigation and resolution of questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work;
5. Agree to be named on the author list and approve the full list of authors.

The addition or removal of authors during the editorial process is permitted only if a justified explanation is provided to the journal’s editorial board and the publisher. Attempts to introduce “ghost”, “gift”, or “honorary” authorship will be treated as cases of academic misconduct.

 

Citation Policy

Authors must ensure that when material is taken from other sources (including their own published works), the source is clearly cited and appropriate permission is obtained.

Authors should not engage in excessive self-citation of their own works.

Authors should not copy references from other publications if they have not read the cited work.

Authors should not predominantly cite their own publications or the publications of their friends, colleagues, or institutions.

Authors should not cite advertisements or promotional materials.

Editors and reviewers should not ask authors to include references merely to increase the number of citations to their own work or that of a colleague, to the journal, or to another journal with which they are associated.

In accordance with COPE recommendations, we expect that “original wording taken directly from the publications of other researchers should be placed in quotation marks with appropriate references.” This condition also applies to the author’s own work. COPE has prepared a discussion document on citation manipulation with recommendations for best practice.

 

Plagiarism, Data Falsification and Image Manipulation

Plagiarism — the appropriation or use of any materials of a scientific work without the author’s permission and without proper citation — is unacceptable in any form. This includes, among other things: (1) the use of other people’s ideas or expressions in their original or edited form without appropriate references; (2) copying or paraphrasing (rewording) separate parts or sections of other authors’ works without indicating their author(s) and providing proper citation; (3) claiming as one’s own the scientific results obtained by other authors. The use by authors of their own previously published data, words, and expressions without proper citation is regarded as self-plagiarism and is also unacceptable.

Manuscripts that have been previously published in whole or in part (in any language, whether printed or electronic) or that have been submitted for possible publication to other scientific journals are not accepted for consideration.

Manuscripts found to contain elements of plagiarism will be rejected and will not be published, regardless of the stage of review or processing.

Simultaneous submission of the same manuscript to multiple journals is considered unacceptable according to generally accepted ethical norms. In such cases, the manuscript will not be accepted for publication, irrespective of its scientific quality.

The Editorial Board reserves the right to impose sanctions on authors who violate the ethical norms stated above. By decision of the Editorial Board, articles from such authors may not be accepted for consideration for a specified period of time.

Where necessary, authors must obtain written permission from copyright holders for the use or reproduction of previously published materials (e.g., figures and schemes). All financial costs associated with obtaining such permissions shall be borne entirely by the authors of the manuscripts.

All articles are checked for plagiarism using the external text-matching/identity/similarity detection system via the Turnitin web service. Only articles with an originality level above 80% are accepted for consideration.

If plagiarism is detected during the peer review process, the manuscript must be rejected. If plagiarism is discovered after the article has been published, an investigation will be conducted and appropriate measures will be taken in accordance with the journal’s article retraction policy.

Image files must not be modified or adjusted in any way that could lead to misinterpretation of the information contained in the original image. If intentional incorrect manipulations of an image (or images) are identified and confirmed during the peer review process, the editor must reject the manuscript. If image manipulations are detected and confirmed after the article’s publication, measures will be taken in accordance with the journal’s article retraction policy.

All research data presented in the manuscript in the form of text, images, or tables must be original. Data must not be improperly selected, altered, enhanced, or fabricated. This includes:

• excluding data points to increase the significance of conclusions;
• falsifying data;
• selecting results that support a particular conclusion at the expense of contradictory data;
• deliberately choosing tools or methods of analysis to support a specific conclusion.

 

Conflict of Interest

Conflicts of interest (also known as “competing interests”) arise when matters unrelated to the research can reasonably be perceived as influencing the neutrality or objectivity of the work or its evaluation. This can occur at any stage of the research cycle, including during experiments, while writing the manuscript, or in the process of turning the manuscript into a published article.

If authors are unsure, they should declare a potential interest or discuss it with the editorial board. Undeclared interests may result in sanctions. Articles with an undeclared conflict of interest will be rejected by the editors. If a conflict of interest is discovered after publication, appropriate measures will be taken regarding the article in accordance with the journal’s article retraction policy.

Conflicts of interest do not always prevent the publication of the work or participation in the peer review process. However, they must be declared in the relevant section of the article titled “Conflict of Interest”. A clear description of all possible conflicts — regardless of whether they had an actual impact or not — allows others to make informed decisions about the work during its review.

Declared conflicts of interest will be considered by the editor and reviewers and included in the published article.
