"Research & Innovation for Society and Economy publishes editorially and peer-reviewed research papers that adhere to high standards of academic publishing. Ethical behavior is expected from all parties involved in the publishing process, including the Author, the Editor-in-Chief, the Reviewer, and the Publisher. In order to maintain the highest standards of publishing, the following guidelines must be adhered to:"

RESPONSIBILITIES OF EDITORS

Decision on the Publication of Articles

"The Editor-in-Chief of the journal is responsible for deciding which articles submitted to the journal should be published. In making this decision, the Editor-in-Chief may be guided by the assessments of the journal's editorial board, while considering legal requirements related to copyright, libel, infringement, and plagiarism. The Editor-in-Chief may also consult with other editors or reviewers as part of the decision-making process."

Fair play

"Manuscripts will be evaluated solely based on their intellectual merit, without regard to the authors' race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy. The opinion of the subject expert Editor or Review Board member regarding the suitability of the manuscript for scholarly publication will be the primary consideration."

Confidentiality

"The Editor-in-Chief, editors, review board members, and staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, assigned reviewers, Editor-in-Chief, and the publisher. The names and affiliations of the authors of submitted manuscripts must not be communicated to the reviewers."

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

"Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in anyone’s own research without the express written consent of the author."

RESPONSIBILITIES OF REVIEWERS

Contribution of Editorial Review Board

"The Editorial Review Board assists the Editor-in-Chief and the editorial board in making editorial decisions. Editorial communications with the author should only be conducted through the online system on the Research & Innovation for Society and Economy website to help improve the paper."

Promptness

"Any Editorial Review Board member who feels unqualified to review an assigned manuscript or is unable to provide a prompt review should notify the editor and withdraw from the review process. Typically, a review should be completed within a week from the date of the request to ensure timely service to the author and meet their publication expectations."

Confidentiality

"Manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shared with or discussed with others except as authorized by the Editor-in-Chief. Editors and members of the Editorial Review Board must adhere to this standard as part of their ethical and moral obligations."

Standards of Objectivity

"Objectivity is the hallmark of the review process. Personal criticism of the author or their views must be avoided at all costs. Reviewers should express their opinions clearly, supported by relevant arguments. Constructive criticism, aimed at both assessing the manuscript's suitability for publication and improving its quality, should be the standard practice."

Acknowledgement of Sources

"Reviewers must verify the sources cited by the authors. Any reproduction of previously published works without proper citation should be explicitly identified to prevent plagiarism. Whenever feasible, reviewers should suggest appropriate sources for authors to reference in their manuscript. The goal is to assist authors in producing original work."

Confidentiality

"Analysis, tables, diagrams, and data provided by authors in their papers, based on their fieldwork and research, are privileged information. Reviewers must not use or take advantage of this information in any way that could inhibit the author."

Conflict of Interest

"Reviewers must decline to review manuscripts if they have any form of conflict of interest with any of the authors."

RESPONSIBILITIES OF AUTHORS

Authorship of the Paper

"Authorship and co-authors must be properly credited. Authors must distinguish between those who assisted in conceptualizing or conducting the research and those who provided encouragement.
