Ethical standards

Editorial policy

Upon formation of the editorial polity the Journal bases itself on recommendations of international organizations for the ethics of academic publications:

Observance of the ethical norms and rules is mandatory for the participants of the process of publication of academic materials: authors, reviewers, members of the editorial board, editors and employees of the publishing house.

Upon emergence of suspicions of violation of any of the principles published below, the editorial board of the journal “Nauka televideniya” follows the instructions of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Editorial ethics

The editor-in-chief of the journal “Nauka televideniya” [“Television Scholarship”] carries out the supervision of the publication of the journal and its conception and, along with the other members of the editorial board, holds the responsibility for making the decision regarding the publication of the articles.

The editorial board together headed by the editor-in-chief of the journal holds the exclusive right of accepting/rejecting manuscripts for publication.

Multiple (double) and repeated publications in the journal “Nauka televideniya” [“The Art and Science of Television”]are not permitted, with the exception of reviews on significant scholarly events and academic publications.
Authors are required to notify the board of directors of any previously made publications of the presented text (the thesis of the dissertation, theses of conferences, the presentation of a previously published article), which shall help the editors to decide whether it would be possible to relate the submitted manuscript to multiple (double) publication.

Peer Reviewing Process

Order of examination of manuscripts

Each text submitted to the journal for possible publication is submitted, upon the decision of the editorial board, for Peer Reviewing to 2 members of the Editorial Council Board, whose academic activities correspond most closely to the profile of the material to be considered. If necessary, subject experts outside the Editorial Council Board are involved in the reviewing process.

Both reviews shall comply with the principle of double-blind reviewing (the reviewer and the author/s of the manuscript do not have access to cross-personal information).

For this purpose, the authors shall submit to the editorial board their article in 2 versions: one fully formatted and the other one depersonalized, i.e. without any affiliation with the author/s, including references to the texts they authored/coauthored, or to the independent texts of the coauthors, in intellectual partnership with whom they published their papers earlier.

Any influence of the current political, social, economic situation on the evaluation of manuscripts shall be ruled out, as well as any possible authors’ discrimination on the grounds of their sex, race, nationality, sexual orientation, ethnic origin, religion, citizenship (or lack thereof), political views, or social status.

In case of divergence of experts’ opinions, the manuscript is submitted for an additional Peer Reviewing, which is prepared by an external specialist according to the principle of double-blind reviewing.

The reviews for each article are preserved for 10 years.

Public academic dialogue

The journal is interested in constant activation of scholarly discussion, so the brightest comments, including those of a critical profile, in case of the editorial board making the decision to publish the article, are placed in the subsequent issue as an academic publication.

If there is a review prepared according to the principle of double blind Peer Reviewing, the author of such a review gives his or her preliminary consent for such a publication. If consent is not given, the review is not published in the issue.

The author of a Peer Reviewed article has the right to give his or her response (in the present or the subsequent issue of the publication) to the review published in the journal.

Upon necessity, with the aim in mind to enhance the academic quality of the published materials and to preserve ethical standards the journal publishes corrections, clarifications or apologies, as well as letters to the editors on the pages of the publication and/or on its official website.

The rights of the Editorial Board

The editor-in-chief and the editorial board reserve the right not to accept works formatted with deviations from the rules established in the journal and violating the requirements exerted on the authors of the articles.

The manuscript may be rejected on the stage preceding the Peer Reviewing, if there are weighty reasons present for this:

the subject matter of the article does not correspond to the research directions of the journal
the article has previously been published in another edition
the article contains obvious signs of low quality
in the submitted materials there is an essential contradiction to the ethical principles which the journal adheres to
all the submitted manuscripts not rejected for the aforementioned reasons at the first stage are passed on to reviewers

Responsibility of the Reviewer

Each disputable incident is an object for special examination of the editorial board.

The reviewer may be expelled from the team of the editorial board / editorial expert board / pool of reviewers from outside in the following cases:

upon their own wishes, confirmed by a litter to the editorial board of the journal
in the case of establishment of the fact of a non-objective review
upon publication of any text bearing obvious indications of violation of academic ethics (plagiarism, academic forgery, etc.)

Conflicts of interests

Upon cases of conflicts of interest of the reviewer/editor with the author of the manuscript, about which the first is required immediately to notify the members of the editorial board, the manuscript must be passed to another reviewer/editor.

In the case of a member of the editorial board / editorial expert board submitting an article for publication in the journal, the article is subject to mandatory Peer Reviewing by two specialists, one of which is a member of the journal’s editorial expert board (double blind Peer Reviewing), and the other is a specialist from outside following the profile of the presumed publication (one-sided blind Peer Reviewing).

If there is a divergence of opinions of the experts, the article is passed for two additional reviews written by specialists who are not members of the editorial board upon an analogous principle – one-sided and double blind Peer Reviewing.

The final decision regarding the contested material is made at a session of the journal’s editorial board headed by its editor-in-chief (without consideration of the opinion of the author of the discussed article).

Plagiarism, academic forgery, retraction of articles

Upon discovery of plagiarism, which is understood as inclusion into the material presented for consideration of publication material of borrowed text without links to the source from where the facts/ideas were derived, and/or academic forgery interpreted as an indubitable representation in the texts of facts relating to a different fact/event/phenomenon, the article is rejected without the right of repeated submission, while its author is placed into the list of researchers whose materials are barred from publication in the journal.

A similar list is placed in open access on the official website of the publication.
