Publication Ethics

General Provisions
1.1. The journal Izvestiya Vuzov "Geodesy and Aerophotography" strictly adheres to the principles of publication ethics outlined in the Code of Ethics for Scientific Publications (COPE – Committee on Publication Ethics).
1.2. The editorial board monitors the publication process to prevent plagiarism, self-plagiarism, and the submission of false information to avoid unethical practices. The selection and editing of submitted materials are conducted thoroughly to ensure high-quality scientific publications and public recognition of scientific achievements.
1.3. The adherence to ethical standards and principles is required not only from the editorial board members and reviewers but also from the authors themselves.
1.4. The editorial board reserves the right to reject the publication of materials that violate ethical guidelines, informing the author in writing or electronically with reasons for rejection.
Principles of Professional Ethics for Editors/Publishers
Editors and publishers are responsible for ensuring the accurate publication of authors' works. They must adhere to the following core principles:
2.1. Ensure the reliability and scientific significance of the data presented by the author(s) and assess the originality of the submitted work.
2.2. Evaluate manuscripts regardless of the race, gender, religion, nationality, citizenship, social status, or political preferences of the authors.
2.3. Do not use unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts for personal use or transfer such data to third parties without the author's written consent.
2.4. Maintain confidentiality regarding information or ideas obtained during the editing process and refrain from using this information for personal gain.
2.5. Do not accept for publication materials if there is sufficient reason to believe they are plagiarized.
2.6. Respond to any claims related to reviewed manuscripts or published materials, and take all necessary actions to resolve conflicts of interest.
Principles of Professional Ethics for Reviewers
Reviewers are required to:
3.1. Treat the manuscript under review as confidential, and not disclose or discuss it with unauthorized third parties.
3.2. Provide an objective and reasoned evaluation of the research findings. Personal criticism of the author is unacceptable.
3.3. Refrain from using unpublished materials obtained through the review process for personal purposes.
3.4. Notify the editor if they lack the necessary qualifications to review the manuscript or have a conflict of interest, requesting to be excluded from the review process.
Principles of Professional Ethics for Authors
Authors should:
4.1. Provide accurate results from their research. Deliberately false or fabricated statements are unacceptable.
4.2. Ensure the originality of the research results. Borrowed excerpts or statements should be properly cited, with the author's and source's name. Plagiarism in any form, including uncited quotes, paraphrasing, or claiming others' research as one's own, is not allowed.
4.3. Acknowledge the contributions of all individuals who played a role in the research, citing relevant works that influenced the study.
4.4. Not submit a manuscript to the journal that has been submitted to another journal or is under consideration elsewhere, nor submit an article already published in another journal.
4.5. Include all individuals who made significant contributions to the research in the article's authorship, and do not include individuals who did not contribute.
4.6. Immediately notify the editorial board if significant errors or inaccuracies are discovered in the manuscript during the review process or after its publication.
Consequences of Violating Publication Ethics
The editorial board will impose sanctions for violations of publication ethics:
5.1. Large-scale borrowing without proper citation will result in the article being rejected from publication, and the author will be banned from publishing in the journal for four years.
5.2. Providing false information regarding a manuscript's submission status, such as submitting the same article to multiple journals, will result in retraction if the article is published, and a two-year publication ban for the author if detected before publication.
5.3. Inappropriate communication with editorial staff or deliberate attempts to escalate conflicts will lead to the author being blacklisted.
5.4. Negligence that affects the peer review or publication process will result in a one-year publication ban.
