Peer Review Process

All materials submitted for publication in the journal "Bulletin of Yugra State University" are subject to mandatory scientific blind peer review. Mandatory scientific review of all materials submitted to the editorial board is carried out on behalf of the editor–in-chief (Deputy editor-in-chief), members of the editorial board, and, if necessary, other qualified experts in the relevant scientific field.

Articles submitted for publication in the Journal are sent for review to an independent reviewer. The article is sent to the reviewer without specifying the author's name and information about the author.

Reviewing is conducted confidentially. The author of the reviewed article is given the opportunity to get acquainted with the text of the review. The review is sent to the author of the article without specifying the names of the reviewers and information about them.

The peer review period may not exceed 14 days. Except cases where additional review may be required. In this case, the review period may be increased up to 1 month.

If the review contains recommendations for correcting and rewriting the article, the person responsible for the issue sends the text of the review to the author by e-mail with a proposal to take into account or correct the comments when preparing a new version of the article, or to refute them in a reasoned manner. The rewriting of the article may not exceed 1 month. If the article is returned at a later date, the date of its publication may be changed.

If a second review is needed after the rewriting of the article, the article is sent to the same reviewer who reviewed it for the first time.

An article not recommended for publication by the reviewer is not accepted for reconsideration. The text of the negative review is sent to the author.

The presence of a positive review is not a sufficient reason for the publication of the article, the final decision on the expediency of publication is made by the editorial board of the journal.

The editorial board evaluates the manuscripts of the submitted articles regardless of gender, nationality, origin, citizenship, occupation, place of work and residence of the author. The main priority in making a decision on publication is the quality of the submitted article.

Publishing Ethics

Journal ‘Yugra State University Bulletin’ publishes manuscripts that meet international standards of publication ethics in biomedical journals.

The editorial team of the journal follows the recommendations of international associations to provide high level of publicational ethics standarts in its workflow: 

The manuscript will be withdrawn from publication if at any stage of consideration or pre–press preparation the Editorial Board discovers any infringement of publication ethics requirements.

In case an ethics violation is discovered after publication of the paper by our readers, it will be revoked. It will entail a ban on the future publications in the Journal for all authors involved.

Violations of the ethics include, but not limited to:

  • plagiarism;
  • submission of the manuscript to several journals simultaneously;
  • concealment of conflict of interests.

Plagiarism

Plagiarism may take a number of forms, from presenting someone else’s work as author’s own to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another author work (without attribution),  to claiming rights to the results of other people's research. Plagiarism of any kind is unethical and unacceptable.

Authors should submit entirely original manuscripts. Mentions of the results of other authors must be accompanied by references to the relevant primary sources (to be included in the bibliography). Citations from the text previously published elsewhere should be styled as direct speech (the text must be enclosed in quotation marks and be in italics) with the obligatory indication of the source. The inclusion of large fragments of the borrowed text in a manuscript is unacceptable.

The contribution of other persons to the study should be acknowledged. Authors should refer to the publications that were important for execution of their research. The information obtained informally (e.g., in private conversation, correspondence, or during discussion with third parties) should not be used or represented without the express written consent from the original source. The information obtained from confidential sources (e.g., information about research grant), should not be mentioned in the manuscript without explicit written permission from the author of the manuscript, who has a direct relation to the relevant confidential sources. The detection of plagiarism is carried out during peer review, and also after the publication of manuscripts, in instances when readers make relevant statements. If there is established instance of plagiarism of research results or concept, the manuscript shall be withdrawn and denied publication, even if it was already published. Formal notice will be posted on the Journal website.

The journal is using "ANTIPLAGIAT" (free edition) software for plagiarism detection in all Russian-language manuscripts. The Google and Google Scholar is used for English-language manuscripts plagiarism search. Papers will be rejected from any stage of the publication process (even if the article were published already) if plagiarism will be fined.

Submission of the manuscript to several journals simultaneously or submission of already published work under a different title

Discovery of the fact that the same manuscript was submitted to more than one journal will be regarded as violation of publication ethics. The manuscript will be rejected.

In some cases, simultaneous (repeated) publication of certain types of papers (e.g., translated papers) is possible under a number of conditions. Upon submission of a manuscript for a repeated publication, the authors must notify the editorial board about it, and provide detailed explanation why such publication is desirable. In the case of repeated publication, all issues related to copyright are solved on the case–by–case basis. Following are general rules for repeated publication:

  • full reference to the primary publication shall be provided;
  • the original bibliography of the primary publication shall be preserved.

More information about acceptable forms of repeated publications can be found at http://www.icmje.org.

 

Conflict of interest

All authors must disclose (declare in the appropriate section of the manuscript) financial, or other apparent or potential  conflicts of interest that may be perceived as having possible influence on results or conclusions presented in the manuscript.

Examples of potential conflicts of interest that should be disclosed:

  • acceptance of (additional) financial compensation for participation in the study or for writing a manuscript;
  • any connection (contract work, consulting, stock ownership, acceptance of honoraria or royalties, providing expert opinions) to organizations or companies that have interest in the subject of research or review.
  • patent application or registration of a patent based on the results of research (copyright, etc.);
  • acceptance of financial support at any stage of the research or writing of the manuscript (including grants and other financial support).

Information about conflict of interest provided by authors will be available only to the members of editorial board during the process of decision making on the publication of manuscript. Information about conflict of interest will be published as a part of the full text of the paper.

 

 

Authorship

Only persons who made a significant contribution to the development of the concept, design, execution, and/or interpretation of the results of the presented research, as well as the process of writing the manuscript (including scientific and stylistic editing and layout according to the Journal requirements) may be authors (the Author henceforth) of the publication.

The Author should ensure that:

  • all participants who made significant contribution to the presented research are listed as co–authors;
  • those, who did not participate in the research are not listed as co–authors;
  • all co–authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and agree to submit it for publication (verified by signatures of all c0–authors on the cover letter).

Acknowledgement of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved in these services.

Reporting standarts

Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review and professional publication articles should also be accurate and objective, and editorial opinion works should be clearly identified as such.

Access to the raw data and their storage

The Editorial Board reserves the right to request authors to provide raw (non–processed) research data, including for the assessment by reviewers and editors.  The Author should be ready to provide such information to the editorial staff (according to ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), as well as arrange the storage of the data.

Significant errors in publications

In the event the Author discovers significant error or inaccuracy in publication, the Author must notify the Editorial Board or the Publisher about it and cooperate with Editorial Board to arrange the earliest withdrawal of the publication or correction of errors. If the Editorial Board or Publisher receive justifiable information that there are errors in the publication from the third party, it is the obligation of the Author to withdraw the manuscript, or to correct the errors as soon as possible, or protest the claim by providing the necessary evidence to the editors.

Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects

If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the work involves the use of animal or human subjects, the author should ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and that the appropriate institutional committee(s) have approved them. Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.

In case of manuscripts with original study data from live objects (humans, animals) the editorial team will follow the recommendations of international associations for publication ethics in biomedical journals:

  •  
    International Commettee of Medical Journal Editors
  • The WORLD ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL EDITORS
    The WORLD ASSOCIATION OF MEDICAL EDITORS

Statement of Human and Animal Rights

When reporting experiments on human subjects, authors should indicate whether the procedures followed were in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000 and 2008. If doubt exists whether the research was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration, the authors must explain the rationale for their approach, and demonstrate that the institutional review body explicitly approved the doubtful aspects of the study.

When reporting experiments on animals, authors should be asked to indicate whether the institutional and national guide for the care and use of laboratory animals was followed.
