Declaration of Ethics

Policy for Declaration of Ethics in Publications, Good Conduct Practices and Improper Procedures in Publications (*)

FIEP BULLETIN, printed ISSN 0256-6419 and electronic ISSN 2412-2688, is dedicated to complying with good practices with regard to moral conduct consistent with the scientific publishing of journals, based on the code of conduct of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics). The prevention of malpractice is also a crucial responsibility of the editor and the editorial team: any form of unethical behavior, as well as plagiarism in any instance, is not accepted in FIEP BULLETIN. Authors who send articles to the journal declare that their content is original and guarantee that the work has not been published or is in the process of review/evaluation in any other journal.

In addition, FIEP BULLETIN is committed to ethics and quality in publishing. We support standards of ethical behavior expected of all parties involved in publishing in our journal: the author, the journal editor, the reviewers, and the editor. We do not accept plagiarism or any other unethical behavior.

Editors' Duties:

  • Publication decision: The journal editor is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The editor is guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and in strict observance of legal requirements regarding defamation, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may consult the editorial board or contributors in making decisions.
  • Fair Rules: The editor must evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content, without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, national origin, or political philosophy of the authors.
  • Confidentiality: The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the author, reviewers, potential contributors, other editorial advisors, and the editor, as the case may be.
  • Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: The editor must not use unpublished information in its own research without the express written consent of the author. The editor must refrain from evaluating manuscripts in which he has any conflict of interest resulting from competitive or collaborative relationships or any other type of relationship or connections with any of the authors, companies or (possibly) institutions that are linked / connected to the articles.
  • Participation and cooperation in investigations: The editor must take reasonable response measures when ethical complaints have been filed in relation to a submitted manuscript or published article.

Duties of Reviewers:

  • Contribution to the Editorial Decision: Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through editorial communications with the author can also assist the author in improving the article.
  • Timeliness: Any selected referee who does not feel qualified to evaluate research reported in a manuscript or knows that immediate review will be impossible should notify the editor and apologize for the review process.
  • Confidentiality: All manuscripts received for evaluation must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown or discussed with others.
  • Objectivity standards: Reviews must be conducted objectively and reviewers must express their opinions clearly with supporting arguments.
  • Source Acknowledgment: Peer reviewers must identify relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors. The reviewer should also bring to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript in question and any other published document of which they are personally aware.
  • Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have any conflict of interest resulting from competitive or collaborative relationships or any other type of relationship or connections with any of the authors, companies or (possibly) institutions that are linked / connected to the articles.

Authors' Duties:

  • Reporting Standards: Authors of original research reports must provide an accurate account of the work performed, as well as an objective analysis of its significance. Underlying data must be accurately presented in the article. A document should contain enough detail and references to allow others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or intentionally inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
  • Originality and Plagiarism: Authors must ensure that their works are completely original, and if authors have used the work and/or words of other authors these must have been properly cited or quoted. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
  • Multiple, redundant, or competing publications: An author should generally not publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously and/or publishing the same article in different journals constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.
  • Acknowledgment of Sources: Proper acknowledgment of the work of others should always be done. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, such as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as arbitration manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written authorization of the author of the work involved in these services.
  • Article Authorship: Authorship should be limited to those who made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution or interpretation of the reported study. All those who made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Others who participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project must also be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The author must ensure that all suitable and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the article, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the document and agreed to submit it for publication.
  • Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest: All authors must disclose in their manuscripts any financial or substantive/material conflicts of interest that could lead to influencing results or interpretations in their manuscripts. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed.
  • Fundamental Errors in Published Works: When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his or her own published work, it is the author's obligation to immediately notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the article.

Publisher Duties

    • We are committed to ensuring that earning advertising, reprint or other commercial revenue does not have any impact or influence on editorial decisions.
    • Our articles are reviewed to ensure the quality of scientific publications and we are also Turnitin users (software to identify plagiarism and similarity).
