ETHICS OF THE JOURNAL

Aims and scope

Globus: psychology and pedagogy aims to provide a modern intercultural approach to knowledge of the psychology and pedagogy around the world and their empirical and evidence-based effects.

We strive to publish high-quality articles that are of interest to an international readership, including researchers, practicing teachers, administrators, and others in good practice, research methodology, education, and humanities policymaking. Currently, the journal is focused on global diversification, and the journal welcomes articles on international collaborative research and articles from around the world.

The following types of publications are considered: editorials, review articles, original research articles, letters to the editor, comments, research transcripts, and short messages.

Peer review

Peer review is the evaluation of manuscripts submitted to Globus journal by experts in related fields. Peer–review enables authors to receive critical feedback from experts on individual manuscripts.

Reviewers evaluate the submitted manuscripts in an objective manner. They express their opinions clearly and support their comments.

All submitted manuscript is kept confidential. Reviewers are not allowed to share or disclose unpublished information in a manuscript.

Reviewers of Globus avoid evaluating manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest. They contact editors if there is any conflict of interest that could affect their evaluation of a manuscript. In those cases, they can reject reviewing the manuscript.

Reviewers can recommend to author/s any related work that is not cited.

We use a double-blind system for peer review: The identities of both reviewers and authors remain anonymous. Each submitted manuscript is peer reviewed by at least two experts. In some rare cases, we may start a third round of peer review according to the recommendations from editors and reviewers.

Plagiasm politics

Whether intentional or not, plagiarism is a serious offense. Plagiarism is about copying ideas, text, data, and other creative work (such as tables, figures, and graphs) and presenting them as original research without proper citation. We define plagiarism as a case where an article reproduces another work with at least 15% similarity and no citation.

If evidence of plagiarism is found before / after acceptance or after publication of the article, the author will be offered the opportunity to refute. If the arguments are not found satisfactory, the manuscript will be withdrawn, and the author will have the right not to publish articles for a period determined by the managing editor (s).

Screening for Plagiarism

We check each plagiarism claim using special software at www.ithenticate.com to prevent such unethical practices

I4OC Compliance

In 2017, the I4OC open citation project was launched, which builds on collaboration between scientific publishers, academics and readers to provide access to the latest research information and citation data for publicly available articles. The I4OC standard is mandatory for publications indexed in Scopus and Web of Science and is part of the generally accepted concept of open access of scientific research results for journals that disseminate scientific research under full open access rights.

The main purpose of the I4OC standard is to create structured, segregated and open citations. Structuring makes it possible to express the data about each publication in machine-readable formats and provide programmatic access to them. Separation of citations gives access to each individual publication without reference to the edition in which it is published. The openness of citations facilitates the discovery and citation of articles in the public domain.

The Globus edition supports the I4OC standard and transmits structured publication data to the Crossref service as part of the Crossref’s Cited-by service. This approach allows us to process data and synchronize them with libraries and citation databases, effectively track links to publications, and analyze the scientometric rating of researchers who are our authors. The participation of the scientific journal “Globus” in the I4OC initiative allows our authors to post their articles in the open access for optimal search, reading, use and citation of publications. The publication can create new services based on open citation data for publishers, academic institutions, organizations and readers. Those interested in scientific literature can view the open citation schedule and explore the relationship between areas of scientific knowledge and the development of scientific disciplines.

Ethical principles of journal publication

The publication of an article in the peer-reviewed journal Globus is an important contribution to the development of scientific thought. This is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the organizations that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and implement scientific methods. Therefore, it is very important to establish standards of ethical conduct for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, editor of the journal, reviewer, publisher and society.

The Serenity-Group, as the publisher of the Globus journal, undertakes the responsibility of overseeing all stages of publication. We recognize our ethical and other responsibilities.

We guarantee that advertising, reprints or other commercial profits do not affect editorial decisions.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF AUTHORS

HUMAN-SUBJECTS PROTECTIONS

The author should clearly indicate situations in their work where research is related to chemicals, physical and chemical processes or equipment, during which there is a risk to human or animal health. If the research involves the use of animals or humans as subjects, the author must ensure that all procedures were conducted according to the relevant laws and institutional principles, as well as the fact that the relevant government agencies have given their approval. The presented paper should include application and confirmation from the relevant authorities on consent to experiments with people. The right of the person involved in the experiment to privacy must always be followed.

REPORTING STANDARDS

Authors of original research reports must provide an accurate account of the work performed, as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Basic data should be accurately presented in the article. The article should contain enough details and links to allow others to redo the work.

Fake or knowingly inaccurate statements are unethical and unacceptable.

Review and professional publications must be accurate and objective.

DATA ACCESS AND SECURITY

Authors may be asked to provide background data related to the publication for editorial review. Also, authors should be prepared to provide public access to this data (if possible) and should, in any case, save this data for a reasonable time after publication.

ORIGINALITY AND PLAGIUM

Authors must ensure that they have written completely original works. If the authors have used a previously published work, then they must correctly link to it. Plagiarism today takes a variety of forms, from submitting someone else’s article as the author’s own work to copying or paraphrasing significant parts of someone else’s article (without attribution) in order to appropriate the results of research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms is unethical and unacceptable when published in Globus.

MULTIPLE, EXCESSIVE OR SIMULTANEOUS PUBLICATIONS

An author should never publish manuscripts describing exactly the same study in more than one journal or primary publication at all. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time is both unethical and unacceptable. In general, an author should not submit a previously published article for review to another journal. The publication of some types of articles (eg, clinical guidelines, translations) in more than one journal is sometimes justified if certain conditions are met. Authors and editors of interested journals must agree to a secondary publication that reflects the same data and interpretation of the original document. Primary sources should be cited in the secondary publication.

CONFIRMATION OF SOURCES

The involvement of others in the work should always be indicated. Authors should cite publications that influenced the determination of the nature of the work submitted. Information obtained privately, such as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, should not be used or communicated without written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of performing confidential services such as manuscript reviews or grant applications should not be used without the written permission of the author of the work performed.

AUTHORITY OF THE PUBLICATION

The authors of a publication are considered to be persons who have made a significant contribution to the development of the concept, structure, execution or interpretation of the published research. Anyone who has made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. If there are other individuals who have been involved in some of the main aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged and named as contributors. Corresponding author must ensure that all suitable co-authors are included in the article, and that they have seen and approved the final version of the article and agreed to its publication.

POTENTIAL HAZARDS

If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that carry any specific hazards associated with their use, the author must clearly indicate them in the manuscript.

DISCLOSURE AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST

All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other existing conflict of interest that may affect the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project must be disclosed. Examples of potential conflicts of interest that should be disclosed include application, consulting, shareholding, fees, paid expert opinion, patent applications / registrations, and grants and other funding sources.

ERRORS IN PUBLISHED WORKS

If the author discovers a material error or inaccuracy in his own published work, he is obliged to promptly notify the editor of the journal and cooperate to remove or correct the article. If the editor or publisher learns from a third party that the published work contains a material error, then the author is obliged to promptly take back or correct the article or provide the editor with proof of the correctness of the original article.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EDITORIAL BOARD

DECISIONS ON PUBLICATION OF ARTICLES

The editor-in-chief of the peer-reviewed journal “Globus” is responsible for making decisions about which of the articles sent to the journal should be published. First of all, he is guided by the validity of the problems of the submitted work and its importance for researchers and readers. The editor-in-chief is guided by the policy of the editorial board of the magazine, as well as the following legal requirements: charges of libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor-in-chief may consult with other editors or reviewers in deciding whether to publish.

FAIR PLAY

The editor evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content regardless of the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnicity, citizenship, or political beliefs of the authors.

CONFIDENTIALITY

The editor and the entire editorial board should not disclose any information about the submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisors and the publisher.

DISCLOSURE AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Unpublished materials described in the submitted manuscript should not be used in the editor’s own research without the written consent of the author.

Privileged information or ideas derived from peer review must be kept confidential and cannot be used for personal gain.

Editors should refuse to participate in the review of manuscripts in which they have a conflict of interest arising from a competitive, joint or other relationship or relationship with any of the authors or institutions associated with the article.

Editors should require all contributors to disclose relevant competing interests and publish corrections if competing interests are identified after publication. If necessary, other appropriate action should be taken, such as publishing a rebuttal.

JOURNAL SELF-Citation

The editorial staff of Globus does not in any way oblige authors to cite it in their publications. Any recommendations regarding sources that will be cited in the publication are made on the basis of direct relation to the article by the author, in order to improve the final publication. Editors refer authors to relevant literature as part of the peer review process. However, instructions for citing individual journals are never given

Participation and collaboration in research

The editor, in conjunction with the publisher, will take reasonable retaliatory measures if ethical complaints are presented regarding a submitted manuscript or published article. Such measures usually include communicating with the author of the article and giving due attention to the complaint or statement. Additional communication can also be carried out with the relevant institutes and research institutions, and if the complaint turns out to be substantiated, then corrections or recusal are published. The editorial board considers each reported fact of unethical behavior, even if it is revealed years after the publication of the article

RESPONSIBILITIES OF REVIEWERS

PROMOTING Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through communication between the editor and the author, and can also assist the author in improving the article. Peer review is an important component of formal scientific communication and lies at the heart of the scientific method

Efficiency

Any selected reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research presented in the manuscript, or knows he cannot write immediate review, should notify the editor and absolve himself from the peer review process.

Confidentiality

All manuscripts received for review are considered confidential documents. They are not displayed or discussed with third parties

Objectivity standards

Reviews are conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Reviewers express their views using supportive arguments.

Confirmation of sources

Reviewers identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the author. Any statement that an observation, conclusion, or argument has already been communicated is quoted accordingly. The reviewer also attracts the attention of the editor if he finds any significant similarity or coincidence between the manuscript in question and any other published work.

DISCLOSURE AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Unpublished materials specified in the submitted manuscript are not used in the reviewer’s own research without the written consent of the author. Reviewers do not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest as a result of competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or relationships with any of the authors or institutions associated with the publication.
