Publishing Ethics
Introduction
1.1. Publishing materials in peer-reviewed journals is not only a simple means of scholarly communication but also a significant contribution to the development of the relevant field of scientific knowledge. Therefore, it is important to establish standards for future ethical conduct for all parties involved in publication, namely: Authors, Online Journal Editors, Reviewers, the Publishing House, and the Scientific Society for the online journal "Linguistics & Education."
1.2. The Publisher not only supports scholarly communication and invests in this process but is also responsible for ensuring that published work complies with all current guidelines.
1.3. The Publisher undertakes to exercise strict oversight of scholarly materials. The programs of our online journal present an impartial "report" on the development of scientific thought and research, and we therefore recognize our responsibility for the proper presentation of these "reports," particularly in terms of the ethical aspects of publication outlined in this document.
Responsibilities of Editors
2.1. Publication Decision
The Editor of the online scientific journal "Linguistics & Education" is solely and independently responsible for making publication decisions, often in collaboration with the relevant Scientific Society. The credibility of the work under consideration and its scientific significance should always underpin the publication decision. The Editor may be guided by the policies of the Editorial Board of the online journal "Linguistics & Education," while being constrained by applicable legal requirements regarding libel, copyright, legality, and plagiarism.
The Editor may consult with other Editors and Reviewers (or officers of the Scientific Society) when making publication decisions.
2.2. Integrity
The Editor must evaluate the intellectual content of manuscripts without regard to the race, gender, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, origin, citizenship, or political affiliation of the Authors.
2.3. Confidentiality
The Editor and Editorial Board of the online publication "Linguistics and Education" are obligated to refrain from disclosing information about accepted manuscripts to anyone other than the Authors, Reviewers, potential Reviewers, other scientific advisors, and the Publisher, unless necessary.
2.4. Disclosure Policy and Conflicts of Interest
2.4.1 Unpublished data obtained from submitted manuscripts may not be used for personal research without the Author's written consent. Information or ideas obtained through peer review and associated with potential benefits must be kept confidential and not used for personal gain.
2.4.2 Editors should recuse themselves from reviewing manuscripts (specifically, by requesting a Co-Editor, Associate Editor, or collaborating with other members of the Editorial Board to review the work, rather than reviewing and making decisions themselves) if they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships with authors, companies, and, potentially, other organizations associated with the manuscript.
2.5. Publication Oversight
An editor who provides compelling evidence that the claims or conclusions presented in a publication are erroneous should notify the publisher (and/or the relevant learned society) so that prompt notification of corrections, retractions, expressions of concern, and other appropriate statements can be made.
2.6. Research Engagement and Collaboration
The editor, in conjunction with the publisher (or learned society), will take appropriate measures to address ethical concerns regarding reviewed manuscripts or published materials. Such measures generally include communication with the manuscript's authors and the rationale for the relevant complaint or request, but may also involve interaction with relevant organizations and research centers.
Reviewer Responsibilities
3.1. Influencing Editorial Board Decisions
Reviewing assists the Editor in making publication decisions and, through appropriate communication with the Authors, can also help the Author improve the quality of the work. Reviewing is a necessary component of formal scholarly communication, at the very heart of the scientific approach. The Publisher shares the view that all scholars who wish to contribute to a publication have a responsibility to perform substantial review of the manuscript.
3.2. Commitment
Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review a manuscript or who lacks sufficient time to complete the review promptly should notify the Editor of the online publication "Linguistics & Education" and request to be excused from reviewing the manuscript.
3.3. Confidentiality
Any manuscript received for review must be treated as a confidential document. This work must not be opened or discussed with anyone who is not authorized to do so by the Editor.
3.4. Manuscript Requirements and Objectivity
Reviewers must provide an objective evaluation. Personal criticism of the Author is inappropriate. Reviewers should express their opinions clearly and with supporting arguments.
3.5. Acknowledgment of Primary Sources

Any previously published statement (observation, conclusion, or argument) should be accompanied by the appropriate citation. Reviewers should also bring to the Editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published work within their personal knowledge.
3.6. Disclosure Policy and Conflicts of Interest

False or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
4.1.2 Reviews and research articles must also be accurate and objective, and the editorial position must be clearly stated.

Plagiarism in all forms constitutes unethical conduct and is unacceptable.
4.4. Multiple, Redundant, and Simultaneous Publications
4.4.1 In general, an author should not publish a manuscript covering substantially the same research in more than one journal as the original publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal simultaneously constitutes unethical conduct and is unacceptable.

Authors and editors of the journals involved must agree to the secondary publication, which must present the same data and interpretations as the primary published work. A bibliography of the primary work must also be provided in the secondary publication. More detailed information on acceptable forms of secondary (republishing) can be found at www.icmje.org.
4.5. Acknowledgment of Primary Sources
The contributions of others must always be acknowledged. Authors should cite publications that were relevant to the completion of the reported work.
