Principles of publishing ethics for monographs published by the Faculty of Law of MU

 The aim of these principles is to prevent possible unlawful and unethical practices of authors of proceedings.

By sending a contribution to the publisher, the author confirms that his contribution is an original work that has not been published yet. Any plagiarism, submission of identical or published manuscripts, inaccurate data and false statements are considered unacceptable and unethical by the publisher. Non-original and plagiarized works will not be published.

The principles of publication ethics are based on the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) sources.

In case some questions are not expressly provided for in this policy, the COPE sources shall apply as supporting. The provisions on journal publishing ethics are applied in a similar way.

Before starting any cooperation, the publisher will inform authors, editors and reviewers about these principles. At the same time, the publisher will inform them of the existence of COPE documents and their supporting or reasonable application.
