Publication Ethics
“Problems of Sustainable Development of Entrepreneurship”
The publication ethics of the scholarly journal “Problems of Sustainable Development of Entrepreneurship” are grounded in generally accepted standards of academic integrity and the international principles governing scholarly publishing. The Editorial Office regards compliance with ethical standards as an essential condition for the development of science, trust in published results, and the maintenance of the journal’s reputation.
The Editorial Office makes every reasonable effort to prevent plagiarism, self-plagiarism, data falsification, and other forms of unethical research practice. All manuscripts submitted to the journal undergo mandatory originality screening using specialized plagiarism-detection systems. The publication of materials containing unreliable, distorted, or falsified data is not permitted.
The journal is published on a regular basis and strives to adhere strictly to the established issue schedule. Each published article is accompanied by abstracts and keywords in Tajik, Russian, and English, ensuring accessibility to a broad scholarly audience.
All submissions are subject to double-blind peer review, in which authors and reviewers remain anonymous to each other. Any manuscript submitted for review is treated as a confidential document and may not be disclosed or shared with third parties without the consent of the Editorial Office.
The purpose of peer review is not only to select manuscripts for publication, but also to contribute to improving the scientific quality of papers, refining arguments, and strengthening the structure of the study.
Manuscripts submitted to the journal must:
- correspond to the journal’s academic scope and thematic focus;
- reflect the aims and objectives of the research;
- be oriented toward a professional scholarly audience;
- contain elements of scientific novelty and topical relevance.
Only original, independent studies that have not been published previously and are not under consideration elsewhere are accepted for publication. The use of ideas, data, and conclusions of other authors is permitted only with appropriate bibliographic citations. The minimum acceptable level of textual originality is determined by the Editorial Office.
Authors submitting manuscripts to the journal are required to:
- present reliable and verifiable research results;
- use only authentic facts and data;
- avoid duplicate publication;
- acknowledge personal responsibility for the originality and validity of conclusions;
- refrain from submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal at the same time.
All manuscripts are screened for originality prior to being sent for peer review. The Editorial Office does not allow direct plagiarism, self-plagiarism, inappropriate borrowing of ideas, data, tables, or illustrations, or artificial inflation of originality scores through technical manipulation of the text.
Submitting a text that is predominantly or entirely generated by AI as the result of independent scholarly research is considered unacceptable, as is the use of AI to formulate scientific conclusions or interpret results without the author’s substantive involvement. The author always bears full responsibility for the content of the manuscript.
The Editorial Office may reject a manuscript in the following cases:
- the topic and content do not correspond to the journal’s scope;
- the references list is missing or insufficient;
- abstracts and keywords are formatted incorrectly;
- the scholarly apparatus or overall manuscript formatting is of poor quality;
- plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or other violations of publication ethics are detected.
The Editorial Office of “Problems of Sustainable Development of Entrepreneurship” proceeds from the principles of respect for the author’s work, responsibility to the scholarly community, and commitment to an open environment for academic discussion. Compliance with publication ethics is viewed as a shared obligation of the Editorial Office, authors, and reviewers, while the use of modern technologies is regarded as a means of advancing science – not as a substitute for genuine research activity.
