It is important for the Journal to establish a code of conduct for all parties involved in the publication: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.

The following standards of conduct should be observedas generally acceptedprinciples for publishing research findings.

AUTHORS' STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

Requirements to Manuscripts

The authors of the article about the original study provide reliable results of the research and an objective proof of its academic merit. The work should contain sufficient details and bibliographic references for possible reproduction of the research. False or knowingly erroneous statements are regarded as unethical behavior and unacceptable.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors must ensure that a completely original work is presented. If the works or statements of other Authors are used, appropriate references should be provided. Plagiarism can assume various forms: mispresenting someone else's work as original, copying or rephrasing substantial parts of someone else's work (without attribution), claiming one's own rights to the results of other people's research. Any form of plagiarism is unethical and unacceptable. Publishing the same research in several journals is prohibited.

Multiplicity and Simultaneity of Publications

Authors guarantee a complete originality of the entry. Authors should not publish a manuscript, largely devoted to the same research, in more than one journal as an original material. Authors should not submit a previously published article for review to another journal.

The publication of a specific type of articles (e. g., translated articles) in more than one journal is allowed in some cases, subject to certain conditions. The authors and editors of the journals concerned must agree to a secondary publication that necessarily presents the same data and interpretations as in the initially published work. The reference list of the primary work should also be presented in the second publication.

Recognition of Primary Sources

Recognition of other people's contribution is mandatory. Authors are required to refer to the publications relevant for the performance of the submitted research. The list of references should be submitted by the authors. Data obtained in the course of a private conversation, correspondence, or in the process of discussion with third parties should not be used or presented without the express written permission of the original source. Information on financial support for the research should be provided by the authors (in the form of a footnote to the title of the article).

Authorship

The authors of the article can only be persons who have notably contributed to conceiving, developing, executing or interpreting the submitted research. Authors should make sure that all Co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the work and agreed to submit it for publication.

Significant Errors in Published Works

If the Authors discover significant errors or inaccuracies in the publication, they should report this to the Editorial Board and interact with it in order to withdraw the publication as soon as possible or correct the errors. If the Editorial Board or Publisher has been informed by a third party that the publication contains significant errors, the Authors are obliged to withdraw the work or correct the errors as soon as possible.

STANDARDS OF REVIEWERS’ CONDUCT

Influence on Editorial Decisions

Peer reviewing is a necessary element in scientific communication. It helps the Editorial Staff make a decision on publication, and helps the authors to improve the quality of their work. The Publisher shares the opinion that all scholars who want to contribute to the publication are required to do substantial work on reviewing the manuscript.

Sense of Duty

A reviewer who feels not qualified enough to review the manuscript or unable to do it quickly should notify the Editorial Board.

Discretion

The manuscript received for review should be treated as a classified document.

Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts may not be used in personal research without the written consent of the Authors. Information or ideas obtained during the review process and related to possible benefits should be kept confidential and not used for personal gain.

Impartiality

The reviewer is obliged to give an unbiased assessment.Personalcriticism of the Authors is unacceptable.Reviewersshouldexpresstheiropinionsclearlyandreasonably.

Reviewers should not participate in reviewing manuscripts if there are conflicts of interest due to competitive, collaborative, or other interactions and relationships with any of the Authors, companies, or other entities associated with the submitted work.

Recognition of primary sources

Reviewers should identify significant published works that correspond to the topic and are not included in the reference list. Any statement (observation, conclusion, or argument) published earlier should have a corresponding bibliographic reference in the manuscript. The Reviewer should also draw the Editorial Board's attention to the discovery of significant similarities or coincidences between the manuscript under consideration and any other published work within the Reviewer's scientific competence.

EDITORS’ STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

Decision on Publication

The Editorial Board of the “Vestnik VGIK” Journal makes decisions on publication, taking into account the opinion of the Reviewers. The decision is based on the scientific relevance of the work in question. The Editorial Board adheres to the policy of the Editorial Council, acting in accordance with legal norms regarding legitimacy, copyright, plagiarism, and libel.

Discretion

The Editorial Board does not needlessly disclose any information about the accepted manuscript to third parties, with the exception of the Authors, Reviewers, prospective Reviewers and the Publisher.

Supervision of Publications

The Editorial Board takes reasonable measures to identify and prevent the publication of articles related to unethical research, does not encourage or knowingly allow such violations. Should the Editorial Board receive information or allegations of inappropriate research behavior, it considers this fact or statement in accordance with the recommendations of the Ethics Committee of the Association of Scientific Editors and Publishers.

Upon obtaining convincing evidence that the statements or conclusions presented in the publication are erroneous, the Editorial Board is obliged to take measures to promptly notify about changes or withdrawal of the publication, guided by the recommended practices of the Ethics Committee of the Association of Scientific Editors and Publishers. If necessary, the editorial staff can also publish clarifications, refutations or apologies.

STANDARDS OF PUBLISHER’S CONDUCT

The Publisher must follow the principles and procedures that facilitate the performance of ethical obligations by the Journal's Editors, Reviewers and Authors.

The Publisher should support the Editorial Staff in considering claims about the ethical aspects of published materials and help them interact with other journals if this contributes to the fulfillment of editorial duties.

The Publisher should provide appropriate specialized legal support (opinion or advice) if necessary.

2.5.Vigilance over published record – An editor presented with convincing evidence that the substance or conclusions of a published paper are erroneous should coordinate with the publisher (and/or society) to promote the prompt publication of a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other note, as may be relevant.
