The editorial board of the S.S. Korsakov Journal of Neurology and Psychiatry follows the ethical standards adopted by the international scientific society. In its activity the editorial board relies on the Recommendations on conducting, describing, editing and publishing the results of scientific work in medical journals of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All parties involved in the publication process must adhere to the following ethical standards.
The Editorial Board is responsible for deciding which manuscripts sent to the journal will be accepted for publication. The Editorial Board decides on the publication based on the journal's policy, taking into account the current copyright law, avoiding libel and plagiarism.
The editor evaluates the intellectual content of the manuscript without regard to the workplace and official status, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religious or political beliefs, citizenship, or disability of the authors. The decision to publish an article is made solely on the basis of its scientific significance, originality, clarity of presentation, and its relevance to the direction of the journal.
The journal strictly follows the rules of anonymous reviewing, in which data about authors and reviewers are closed to both parties.
All editorial staff members are responsible for disclosing any information about a received manuscript to outside persons other than authors, reviewers, potential reviewers and publishers. The editor and any editorial staff member may not, without the written consent of the authors, disclose information contained in manuscripts submitted for publication to anyone other than reviewers, other editorial advisors and the publisher, if necessary.
Unpublished materials disclosed in the manuscript submitted by the authors may not be used by the editorial staff for the purposes of their own scientific research without the written consent of the authors.
When an ethical complaint is filed or a conflict situation is discovered regarding a submitted manuscript or published article, the editorial board should take reasonable response, in cooperation with the publisher, to restore the violated rights and, when errors are discovered, to facilitate the publication of corrections or retractions. Every report of unethical behavior will be considered, even if it comes years after the article was published.
The editorial board is governed by the following policy on withdrawal (retraction) of publications (see pdf file).
The editors recommend that if requested by research teams and institutes, authors make their data available to other researchers for the purpose of verification and reproduction of the results.
The review process is designed to assist the editorial board in making editorial decisions and can also help the author improve the manuscript being submitted.
If the reviewer chosen by the editorial board does not feel sufficiently qualified to review the manuscript or realizes that he will not be able to prepare a review in the time specified by the editorial board, he should immediately notify the editorial board and withdraw from further reviewing process.
Any material obtained for the review should be treated as confidential. Such material should not be disclosed to or discussed with outsiders without prior approval of the editorial board.
Reviewing should be conducted on an objective basis. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable. The reviewer's opinion must be expressed in a clear form and supported by arguments.
It is the responsibility of the reviewer to determine if relevant published works have not been cited in the text of the manuscript or are not listed in the reference list. He should also determine whether all statements, conclusions, and ideas borrowed from other publications are properly cited. If the reviewer finds significant overlap or similarity between the manuscript submitted for review and any other published material known to him, he should notify the editorial board.
Non-disclosable information and ideas received by a reviewer during the review of a manuscript must be treated as confidential and may not be used by the reviewer for personal purposes. Reviewers may not review manuscripts for which they have a conflict of interest due to competitive, collegial, or any other relationship to the authors of the manuscript or to companies or institutions related to the manuscript.
If the manuscript is based on original research, the authors should present reliable results of the work done and an objective discussion of the significance of the study. The manuscript should contain all key data, an accurate description of the study details, and references to ensure reproducibility of the results. Falsification of data or knowingly incorrect statements in the manuscript is considered unethical and unacceptable.
In addition to the manuscript, the editors may ask the authors for source data. The author must be prepared to provide access to them, provided that opening access does not violate the confidentiality of the participants in the experiment or the rights of the person or company who owns the data.
Authors are obliged to send only original works to the editorial board. When citing the work of other authors, accuracy in citation and citation of the source must be observed. Publications that have had a significant influence in the preparation of the study or have determined its format should also be cited.
In general, papers describing the content of the same research should not be published in more than one journal. Sending a manuscript to more than one journal is considered unethical and unacceptable. Copyrighted material that has already been published previously may not be sent to a journal for publication. In addition, materials under consideration in the journal's editorial board may not be sent to another journal for publication as an author's article. When submitting an article, the author must inform the editor of all previous submissions of the work, which may be regarded as duplicate or double publication. The author should warn the editor if the manuscript contains information published by the author in previous submissions or submitted for another publication. In such cases, the new paper should contain references to the preceding material.
The article should always contain references to relevant works of other researchers. Authors should properly cite publications that have influenced the content of the submitted work in order to avoid plagiarism and incorrect borrowings.
The list of authors is limited to those who have made significant contributions to
Each author must participate in the work sufficiently to be publicly responsible for the relevant part of the article's content.
Participation consisting only of securing funding or selecting material for an article does not justify inclusion in an author's group. General management of the research team is also not considered sufficient for authorship.
All participants in certain substantive aspects of the research project presented in the article, who made significant contributions at the article's publication stage but are not considered authors, should be listed as partners and they should be thanked.
The author with whom correspondence for publication is in progress is responsible for ensuring that all co-authors are included as authors, and is also responsible for the intentional inclusion of those who were not involved in the creation and writing of the article in the circle of authors. All persons listed as authors must approve the final manuscript as well as its submission to the journal for publication.
If the work contains empirical data obtained through research on specific people, the author is responsible for ensuring that the submitted publication does not contain information that could harm the interests of people.
The authors may wish to express their gratitude to individuals who may have helped. Sources of research funding should also be noted.
To submit an article to the journal, all authors must sign a statement that there are financial or any other significant conflicts of interest that could be seen as affecting the results of the study or its interpretation. All sources of funding for the work described must be cited.
If an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in a published work, it is the author's responsibility to notify the editor as soon as possible and to cooperate on the removal or correction of the article.
According to the results of the review, the article may be sent back to the author for revision. Authors should actively participate in the reviewing process, answering questions in a timely manner and, if necessary, making corrections to the manuscript in accordance with the reviewer's requirements.
All the manuscripts submitted for publication in the journal are peer reviewed by two independent experts who are non-members of the Editorial Board of the journal.
The journal provides peer reviewing of all the submitted materials that are within the remit of the journal for expert evaluation. All peer reviewers are the acknowledged experts who specialize in the field relevant to the reviewed materials and have had publications relevant to the topic of the article being reviewed over the past 3 years. The peer reviews are stored in the publishing and editorial office for 5 years.
The article is sent to reviewers without names or contact information of the authors (the so-called blind review).
Reviewers treat the article as confidential material and strictly follow the author’s right for non-disclosure of the data reported in the manuscript before the article is published. The reviewer may engage additional experts only with permission from the Editorial Board and on a confidential basis.
Reviewers’ comments are sent to the author without disclosing the reviewers’ identity. The Editorial Board makes a final decision whether to publish the manuscript or not after the peer reviews and authors’ answers were received. The Editorial Board sends copies of peer reviews or a substantiated rejection to the authors and also sends copies of the peer reviews to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation if a request has been received by the Editorial Board.
In some cases, the Editorial Board can send the article for an additional peer review, including statistical and methodological reviewing.
The Editorial Board constantly monitors the quality of peer review using the Russian version of the Review Quality Instrument questionnaire (Version 3.2), van Rooyen S., Black N., Godlee F. J Clin Epidemiol 1999;52:625-9.
The Russian version of the Review Quality Instrument questionnaire is available here (download - MS Word .doc).
The Editorial Board of the journal expects that the review process will help to:
