Publication Ethics

Contemporary Research Center (CRC Publications) follows internationally recognized ethical guidelines, including those established by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), to ensure fair, transparent, and responsible scholarly publishing. CRC promotes rigorous peer review, accountability, and integrity across all stages of publication. Authors are expected to uphold ethical standards by reporting their findings accurately, disclosing any conflicts of interest, providing proper attribution, and promptly correcting errors. Peer reviewers maintain confidentiality, provide objective feedback, disclose conflicts, and complete reviews only within their expertise, while editors oversee impartial decisions, enforce journal policies, and correct the scholarly record when necessary.

All manuscripts must be original and plagiarism in any form-including copying, close paraphrasing, or unauthorized use-is strictly prohibited. CRC screens all submissions for plagiarism and follows guidelines promoting transparency, ethical authorship, and scholarly integrity. By adhering to these practices, CRC ensures the credibility of published research, maintains trust within the academic community, and supports the dissemination of reliable, reproducible knowledge.
