In accordance with the publication ethics and standards adopted by the leading international academic publications, the editorial board of the "Eurasian Union: Issues of International Relations" review has compiled ethic principles obligatory for all publication process participants, including authors, reviewers, members of the editorial board and editor-in-chief.

Responsibility of the authors

​ By sending his/her article to the editorial board of the "Eurasian Union: Issues of International Relations" review, the author confirms that it offered for publication for the first time and has not been previously either sent to any other review or published in any other publication.

​ The responsibility for the content of the article rests with the author. The article has to contain only original academic research and data. If the author uses data received by other researchers, he/she has to give relevant references.

​ The author is responsible for the intent or non-intent use of somebody else’s text without relevant reference (plagiarism). Unauthorized borrowing of any element of other person’s article (text, statistic data, etc.) is absolutely not permissible.

​ The author is responsible for providing true information about the financial support of the project described in the article and persons who participated in the research.

​ In case an author finds a serious error or inaccuracy in his/her article that has already been published, the author has to immediately inform editor-in chief or the secretary of such error or inaccuracy in order to correct it or amend the article. If the editor or secretary learns about a serious error made by an author in his/her article from a third person, he/she has to inform the author, who, in his/her turn, has to as quickly as possible present an amended version of the article or submit to the editorial board a proof that his/her article contains true data.

​ The author has the right to initiate a publication of his/her article that has already been published in another language. Such a case shall be additionally considered by the editorial board in accordance with the ethical principles.

​ The editor is responsible for the decisions on the publication of submitted articles that he/she takes. The principle reason for refusing to publish an article shall be an absence of academic value.

Such information may be used only after an official publication of the article and only with the reference made in accordance with the generally accepted rules and standards.

​ The editor-in chief shall not demand authors to cite articles previously published in the "Eurasian Union: Issues of International Relations" review in order to increase the scientometrical figures of the review.
