Publication Ethics
Journal "Ukraine. Nation's Health" complies with the requirements established by the international Committee on Publication Ethics (Committee on Publication Ethics - COPE), which can be found on the COPE website.
Principles of editor's and publisher's ethics
When making a decision on publication, the editors are guided by the reliability of the submitted data and the scientific significance of the considered work.
The intellectual content of the manuscripts is evaluated regardless of the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious views, origin, citizenship, social status or political views of the authors.
Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts are not used for personal purposes and are not disclosed to third parties without the written consent of the author. Information from submitted manuscripts remains confidential and is not used for personal gain.
The editors will not publish a manuscript if there is reason to believe that it is plagiarized.
The editorial office does not leave unanswered claims related to reviewed manuscripts or published materials, and in the event of a conflict situation, takes all necessary measures to restore violated rights.
Principles of reviewer ethics
A manuscript received for review is treated as a confidential document, which cannot be transferred for review or discussion to third parties who do not have the authority to do so from the editors.
The reviewer gives an objective and well-argued assessment of the presented research results. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable.
Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts are not used by the reviewer for personal purposes.
A reviewer who, in his opinion, does not have sufficient qualifications to evaluate the manuscript, or if he cannot be objective, in particular in the case of a conflict of interest with the author or the organization, should inform the editorial office about this with a request to exclude him from the process of reviewing the given manuscript.
Principles of ethics of the author of a scientific publication
The author(s) of the article must provide reliable results of the conducted research. Knowingly submitting false or falsified data is unacceptable.
The author must guarantee that the research results presented in the submitted manuscript are completely original. Borrowed data must be issued with a mandatory indication of the author and the original source. Plagiarism in any form is unethical and unacceptable. References to works that were relevant to the research should be provided in the article.
Authors should not submit for publication a manuscript that was previously submitted to another publication and is currently being considered, as well as an article already published in another publication.
Co-authors of the article must be indicated by all persons who made a significant contribution to the conduct of the research.
If the author discovers errors or inaccuracies in the article at the stage of its review or after its publication, he must notify the editors as soon as possible.
Proven duplication of the article, plagiarism or falsification of the results is the ground for rejection of the article.
Published articles in which plagiarism was revealed after careful study and approval by the editor-in-chief are removed from the journal's website.
The editorial board of the journal condemn the practice of manipulating citations, and also consider self-citation unacceptable, except when the references add significant value to the scientific content of the manuscript and have scientific value.
Advertising is not published in the journal.
