The journal’s editorial board provides a mechanism for submitting and reviewing complaints regarding potential violations of the principles of academic integrity, publication ethics, and editorial policy.

Complaints may be submitted by authors, reviewers, or other interested parties in writing to the editorial office’s official email address.

The submission must include:

- the nature of the violation;

- justification and supporting materials (if available);

- the complainant’s contact information.

Complaints are reviewed by the editorial board in accordance with the principles of objectivity, impartiality, and confidentiality. Independent experts may be consulted if necessary.

The review period for a complaint is typically up to 30 calendar days.

Based on the results of the review, the following decisions may be made:

- rejection of the complaint as unfounded;

- a request to the author to make changes or corrections;

- rejection of the manuscript;

- publication of a correction;

- retraction of the article;

- notification of relevant institutions.

The complainant has the right to appeal the decision, which is reviewed by an independent member of the editorial board.
