Privacy Statement

Manuscripts are considered with due respect for confidentiality of authors. Reviewers also have the right to confidentiality.

Editors do not disclose information on manuscripts (including their receiving, contents, the status in the course of reviewing, FOI reviewers or the intermediate decision on the publication) to anybody, except authors and reviewers. Reviewers and editorial office employees respect the rights of authors, do not discuss publicly work of authors, do not borrow their ideas before the publication of the manuscript. Reviewers are not allowed to make copies of manuscripts for private use, or to distribute. Comments of the reviewer should not be published or elsewise released to the public without the permission of the reviewer, the author and the editor.

If the author reports results of researches with the indication of names of participants of a research, informants, photographic images of specific people, then he has to receive previously their consent to the publication of these names, images, having explained to them what it is necessary for. If the editor doubts the existence of the informed consent of the participant of a research, or of an informant if he considers that there is a potential possibility of the conflict of interests (see the section "Declaration on the Conflict of Interests"), he has the right to request in writing issued consent of the participant of a research, an informant from the author of the article.

If personal data of participants of a research, informants in article were changed in order to protect their anonymity, the author has to provide guarantees that such changes do not distort scientific sense (it has to be noted in the text of article).
