Principles of publication ethics for the conference proceedings published by the Faculty of Law of the Masaryk University

Any plagiarism, submission of identical or already published manuscripts and fraudulent misrepresentation is considered by the publisher as unacceptable and unethical. Non-original works and works which are plagiarism will not be published by the publisher.

 

The Principles are based on the following sources of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics):

 

In the event that an issue which is not explicitly regulated by these Principles occurs, the abovementioned sources of COPE applies subsidiary.

Before any initiation of cooperation, the publisher will inform authors, editors and reviewers about these Principles. The publisher will simultaneously inform authors, editors and reviewers about the existence of documents of COPE and their subsidiary applicability.
