PUBLICATION ETHICS

The editorial staff of the HUMANISTIC SCIENTIFIC FASCILES informs that in order to prevent ghostwriting and guest authorship, adequate procedures related to the ghostwriting have been implemented. Ghostwriting and guest authorship are a manifestation of scientific misconduct, and any identified cases will be disclosed, including notification of relevant entities (institutions employing authors, scientific societies, associations of scientific editors, etc.).

The ghostwriting is when someone made a significant contribution to the publication without revealing their
participation as one of the authors or without mentioning his role in the acknowledgments included in the publication.

The guest authorship (honorary authorship) is when the author's
participation is insignificant or not participate at all, and yet he is the author / co-author of the publication. In addition, the HZN Editorial Board will document all manifestations of scientific misconduct, especially violations of ethics.

Therefore, the HZN Editorial Board requires the authors to disclose the participation of individual authors to the
publication (with affiliation and contribution, ie information, who is the author of the concepts, assumptions, methods, protocol, etc. used in the publication). The author is also responsible for the submitted publication.
