• The articles describing the results of original, previously unpublished scientific research are accepted for publication in the journal. The use of citations and references to other scientific materials is subject to the mandatory availability of an appropriate bibliographic reference to the original source. If you use borrowed illustrations, graphs, and tables, you also need a link to the source. When submitting information obtained from confidential sources, the authors are required to obtain appropriate consent.
• Submitted articles are peer-reviewed for incorrect borrowings and possible plagiarism.

The “Antiplagiat” Company is the developer of the “Antiplagiat” system, a unique solution for detecting text borrowings, aimed at educational institutions and scientific organizations around the world. The search algorithms for the Anti-Plagiarism system have been developed by Russian scientists. The unique technical capabilities make it possible to provide fast, reliable, and efficient search for borrowed fragments in texts and images, as well as to ensure the correct processing of any texts. After uploading the document to the Anti-Plagiarism system, the user receives a report on the presence of defects in the text of the work, for example, the absence of links to sources.
