The ethics of scientific publications is a system of professional interaction of all parties involved in the process of publishing a journal (editorial board, reviewers, editors, publishers, authors). Publishing activities are carried out on the basis of recommendations and standards developed by the committee on the ethics of scientific publications – Committee on publication Ethics (COPE), as well as the experience of reputable international journals and publishers.
The principles of ethical behavior are mandatory for all parties involved in the process of receiving, reviewing and publishing scientific articles.Редакциялық кеңес пен рецензенттер қызметіндегі этикалық қағидаттар

Ethical principles of the author of a scientific publication
The author guarantees that the article contains new scientific results that the author has not previously published anywhere. Knowingly false or distorted statements are equated to unethical behavior and are unacceptable.
All articles undergo mandatory verification through the "anti-plagiarism" system. Excessive borrowing, as well as plagiarism in any form, including non-formalized citations, paraphrases, or the transfer of rights to someone else's research results, are unethical and unacceptable actions.
Articles that are collections of materials previously published by other authors are not accepted for publication by the editorial board of the journal without creative processing and understanding of their authorship.
The article should contain bibliographic references to Kazakh and foreign publications that are relevant during the research. All sources must be disclosed.
The author guarantees that the manuscript of the article submitted to the Journal has not been reviewed and previously published in the editorial office of another scientific journal. Failure to comply with this principle is regarded as a gross violation of publication ethics and provides grounds for excluding an article from the review.
