1. Open Data Policy
Для розміщення у розділі «Editorial Policy» або «Open Access»
Open Data Policy Our journal supports the FAIR principles (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability). We encourage authors to deposit the datasets underlying their research results in specialized repositories (e.g., Zenodo, Figshare, Harvard Dataverse, or an institutional repository). It is a mandatory requirement that such datasets possess a unique digital object identifier (DOI), which must be specified in the article's metadata and the reference list.
10. Research Datasets
When submitting a manuscript, authors must provide a link to the relevant datasets in a "Data Availability Statement" section preceding the reference list. If the data has been uploaded to an external repository, its DOI must be provided. The Editorial Board verifies the presence of DOIs for datasets and integrates these links into the article's metadata via the OJS system to ensure their indexing in international databases.
11. Final Provisions
Articles submitted in violation of the established requirements may be returned to the authors for revision or rejected by the Editorial Board.
The Editorial Board reserves the right to carry out editorial processing of submitted materials without altering their scholarly content.
