The editors inform the authors that they bear full personal responsibility for the authenticity of the content of the articles. In order to avoid incorrect borrowing or using the results of a third-party research, we ask the authors to adhere to the ethics of scientific citation.

In order to counter plagiarism, the editors take the following steps:

• according to the decision of the editor-in-chief, the article is checked for the presence of borrowings from the works of third parties without appropriate references to the source using a computer program;
• a reviewer during the article review concludes whether the plagiarism is present in the article.
