Asked questions 1

Policy on Animal and Human Rights

The studies described in the article must strictly adhere to ethical frameworks and comply with the law. If any studies were conducted on humans or animals, the author must clearly specify the procedure in the manuscript. Relevant institutional guidelines and committees must conduct these studies. The author must include an accepted statement from the relevant committees in the manuscript. If editors have serious suspicions that the studies were not conducted within established ethical frameworks, they may reject the manuscript on ethical grounds. This policy also applies to manuscripts that have received the signature of ethical committees.

During research, the integrity of human participants should not be compromised. The author must mention this in the manuscript if the work involves hazardous chemicals or procedures. Animals and human participants should not be affected by the nature of the research.

Informed Consent and Ethical Code

People participating in the study have the right to privacy and must consent to the experiment. A written agreement signed by the participant must be archived with the author or in the journal in accordance with the law.

Furthermore, any information about participants should not be disclosed unless necessary for the article. In such cases, the author must justify why personal data about the subject

is mentioned.

However, any identifying materials regarding the participant that could potentially lead to the disclosure of their involvement in the experiment cannot be disclosed. The author is responsible for obtaining informed consent and maintaining the anonymity of their subjects.

Identification and Prevention of Research Misconduct

To identify and prevent the publication of works that commit research misconduct, such as plagiarism, citation manipulation, and data falsification/fabrication, Index Copernicus journals implement necessary measures.

The Crossref Similarity Check service ensures the originality of articles submitted to the journal.

Reviewers and the editorial team ensure that the manuscript is written without engaging in research misconduct.

We adhere to COPE guidelines in cases where the journal publisher or the editorial team is notified of any allegations of research misconduct related to an article published in this journal.

The editors-in-chief of our journal follow the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) when exchanging information with each other regarding potential misconduct. To ensure the integrity of research and publication, institutions and journals must collaborate on every aspect of research and publication integrity. In such situations, our journal works with institutions in accordance with COPE's "Cooperation between research institutions and journals on research integrity cases" guidelines.

Complaints about editorial content related to the identification and prevention of research misconduct should be made as soon as possible after publication, preferably in writing to the email address: publisherspanel@indexcopernicus.com.

The parametrisation of science

The first step in systemic implementation of scientific achievements to the socioeconomic environment is the parameterisation of scientific achievements. The parametrisation carried out by Index Copernicus aims to describe the achievements in a unified and comprehensible form with the use of specific metadata structure. Parametrised (described) scientific achievements can be assessed then (assessment involving the translation of the description of the given scientific achievement to point values in accordance with the adapted convention). The scientific databases of Index Copernicus include and parametrise data related to scientific journals, research units as well as the scientists and their achievements. The IT systems used to evaluate science support processing of specific metadata on "evaluation events" – unitary activities characteristic for the science as the segment of the economy. In parametrisation we use the most promising achievements of bibliometrics or - more widely - scientometrics.

The popularisation of science

The popularisation of science Index Copernicus continuously carries out many activities aimed at popularisation of the science. This is the second step of systemic implementation of scientific achievements for the socioeconomic development. We provide - free of charge - our best databases, support the process of publishing more than 100 scientific journals. We put an effort ensure the distribution of parameterised scientists’ achievements to internationally recognized databases and repositories. We support scientific institutions in fulfilling any reporting-related obligations, including reports to national repositories. The tools we use, such as ICI Publishers Panel, enable the digitization and internationalization of scientific journals, so that they could be more and more effective in the distribution of scientific content and increase the citation indices. We use innovative techniques of scientific marketing in promoting results of research projects, which significantly increase the range of their influence.

The commercialization of scientific achievements

Index Copernicus supports the active cooperation of scientific units of the socio - economic. We focus on consulting services, allowing us to develop competence in scientific cooperation with the business sector. We develop increasing strategies involving the implementation of cooperation as a key to strategic initiative, which will be reflected in the interim evaluation of employees. We look for science partners from all over the world with a broad knowledge about the potential of giving a high chance of success of joint ventures, including the spin-off.
