Publisher’s responsibilities
Responsibilities of authors
Originality. The author submits to the editorial office a fully original work containing only correct citations of scientific and other literature and references to the materials. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable and leads to unconditional rejection of the article.
Observance of copyright. By submitting material to the editorial office, the author or team of authors confirms that the material is the object of copyright of the author/authors themselves. Transfer of third-party copyrights (e.g., for illustrative material) is confirmed by a documented written consent of the copyright holders to the use of these materials.
Uniqueness. The author does not submit to the editorial office material that has been published in another publication earlier or is under consideration in another publication. Transfer of the material under consideration to another edition is possible only with the agreement of the responsible editor and entails rejection of publication in the journal “Folklore and Anthropology of the City”. The question of publishing translated works previously published in another language is solved individually in coordination with the edition-right holder.
Observance of scientific ethics. By submitting the material to the editorial board, the author confirms that all results are as reliable as possible, the research methodology is reproducible, and the data were obtained in compliance with research ethics. In order to respect confidentiality, the journal recommends that authors do not disclose personal data of informants unless the informant's desire to publish his/her personal data is recorded in writing.
Corrections. If after the publication of the material significant errors are revealed, the editorial office together with the author may decide to publish corrections (in the print version - in the next issue of the journal, in the web version the corrections are added to the text).
Procedures for resolving conflicts.
1. If there is a conflict between any participants of the editorial process (author, reviewer, responsible editor, scientific editor), the party that recorded the conflict is obliged to notify the Editor-in-Chief, Deputy Editor-in-Chief and Editor-in-Chief by e-mail.
2. The mentioned persons collegially evaluate the situation and make a decision on the conflict resolution within a period of no more than 5 working days from the moment of the complaint receipt.
3. The parties to the conflict are notified of the decision by e-mail.
