Publication Ethics

The editors of the “Bulletin of Uman National University of Horticulture”  work in accordance with the international publication ethics principles, including but not limited to privacy policy, vigilance over the scholarly publications, consideration of possible conflict of interests, etc. The editorial board follows the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics and, in particular, the Publishing Ethics Resource Kit proposed by Elsevier.  

Duties of editors, editorial board, reviewers of the journal

Journal editors must evaluate the intellectual content of manuscripts regardless of the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, origins, citizenship, or political affiliation. Any manuscript received for review is treated as a confidential document. The editor and the editorial board agree not to disclose information about accepted manuscripts to anyone except the authors, reviewers, potential reviewers, other scientific advisors, and the publisher. All of them undertake not to use unpublished data obtained from manuscripts submitted for consideration in personal research without the written consent of the author. Editors, reviewers, scientific consultants undertake to recuse themselves from reviewing manuscripts in the event of conflicts of interest due to competitive, collaborative, and other interactions and relationships with authors, companies, and possibly other organizations related to the manuscript. The editorial board undertakes to take adequate appropriate measures in case of ethical claims concerning the considered manuscripts or published materials.

Duties of authors

The authors of the articles must provide reliable results of the work performed and an objective discussion of the significance of the research. Authors must provide all data relevant to the manuscript when requested by the editor. Authors undertake to provide their own, new (unpublished in other editions), original work and in the case of using the works or statements of other authors must provide appropriate bibliographic references or excerpts. Plagiarism in all forms is unethical and unacceptable.

The authors undertake to submit the article for consideration only to the journal "Bulletin of the Uman National University of Horticulture". Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time is perceived as unethical behavior and gives grounds for the article to be withdrawn from consideration. If the author discovers significant errors or inaccuracies in the publication, the author must notify the editor of the journal and interact with him in order to remove the publication or correct the errors as soon as possible. If the editor has received information from a third party that the publication contains significant errors, the author is obliged to withdraw the work or correct the errors as soon as possible.
