▲Publication ethics
The legal basis for ensuring publication ethics is international standards: provisions adopted at the 2nd World Conference on the Observance of the Integrity of Scientific Research (Singapore, July 22-24, 2010); provisions developed by The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the norms of Chapter 70 “Copyright” of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
The editorial office of “MINERALOGY” guarantees compliance:
– ethics of publishing scientific publications;
– ethics of authorship of scientific publications;
– ethics of peer-reviewed scientific publications;
– ethics of editing scientific publications.
The policy of the editorial board of the journal is based on respect for the personal rights of the author and intellectual property rights. The editorial board of the journal guarantees an independent and honest review of all submitted manuscripts of articles, regardless of the official position of the authors, their commercial interests and relations with the founders of the journal. The authors are also not charged for publishing them. All materials published in the journal are royalty free.
Materials designed in violation of the rules presented here, including technical ones, are returned without consideration. The journal does not publish articles containing generalizations and assumptions that are not directly derived from published original factual material; serial articles and representing individual stages of research containing material explicitly divided into several consecutive publications; articles on ordinary research that are not of interest to the journal. The editorial board also does not accept popular scientific materials for publication, as well as research materials of authors who are not affiliated with a scientific or research-and-production organization that conducted their examination.
Authors should avoid the fabrication and falsification of data, plagiarism in scientific texts, the simultaneous submission of the materials of one article to several journals, duplication of publications, and copyright infringement by co-authors. In case of violation of these rules, the journal reserves the right not to accept further manuscripts for authorship of those persons who violated them.
The editorial staff of the journal checks incoming manuscripts for incorrect borrowing using the Anti-Plagiarism system. Manuscripts in English are being verified using GoogleScholar.
▲The procedure for reviewing manuscripts of scientific articles submitted to the journal
Scientific manuscripts and articles submitted to the editorial board of the Mineralogy journal are subject to mandatory review. Manuscripts are sent for review to the members of the editorial board or expert experts.
1. Peer reviewers do not involve specialists working in the same research institution where the work was done.
2. Reviewing is carried out confidentially, i.e. the authors of the articles are not informed of the surname of the reviewer (unless the reviewer asks for this to establish contact with the author, or if the reviewer claims that the materials contained in the article are unreliable or falsified). The author of the peer-reviewed work is given the opportunity to read the text of the review.
3. If the review of the article indicates the need for correction, then the article is sent to the author for revision. Articles finalized by the author in accordance with the comments of the reviewer are sent for re-review.
4. If the article is rejected from publication in the journal, the author is sent a reasoned refusal in written (electronic) form and the text of the review.
5. In case of disagreement with the opinion of the reviewer, the author of the article has the right to provide a reasoned answer to the editorial board of the journal. The article can be sent for re-review or for approval by the editorial board. The final decision on the advisability of publishing an article after reviewing is made by the editor-in-chief of the journal.
6. Authors of articles are sent copies of reviews. The originals are stored in the editorial office of the journal for five years from the date of publication of the articles and upon request are provided to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation.
▲Requirements for the content and design of the review
The task of reviewing is to facilitate the rigorous selection of copyright manuscripts for publication and offer specific recommendations for improving them. A review should objectively evaluate a scientific article and contain a comprehensive analysis of its scientific and methodological advantages and disadvantages. The scope of the review is determined by the reviewer, and its content should include all the necessary and objective information. The reviewer reviews the article within no more than 2 weeks from the date of receipt of the article.
The review of the submitted article should reflect:
– relevance to the theme of the magazine and relevance of the topic;
– the availability of scientific novelty, theoretical and practical significance of the work;
– assessment of the main research results;
– quality of use of regulatory legal acts, literary and other sources;
– quality of work.
The complex of these issues is of a general nature. Each specific article requires an individual approach to the selection of criteria for its assessment.
In the final part of the review based on the results of the analysis of the article, a clear recommendation should be given about publishing it in the presented form, or about the need for its revision or processing (with constructive comments), or about the inappropriateness of publishing the article in this journal.
