Publication Ethics
The editorial board of the journal "Human Studies. Series of «Philosophy»" supports a certain level of requirements for the selection and acceptance of articles submitted to the editorial office.

The editors call for adherence to the principles of the Code of Ethics for Scientific Publications developed by the Committee for the Ethics of Scientific Publications (COPE).
ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF JOURNAL EDITORS
The editor should review all manuscripts submitted for publication without prejudice, evaluating each one properly, regardless of race, religion, nationality, or the position or place of work of the author (s).

All materials submitted for publication are carefully selected and reviewed. The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject the article or return it for revision. The author is obliged to revise the article in accordance with the comments of reviewers or the editorial board.
The editor's decision to accept the article for publication is based on such characteristics of the article as the importance of the results, originality, quality of presentation of the material and compliance with the profile of the journal. Manuscripts may be rejected without review if the editor believes that they do not match the journal's profile. In making such decisions, the editor may consult with members of the editorial board or reviewers.
AUTHORS' ETHICAL COMMITMENTS

The editorial board informs the author about the fact of withdrawal of the article.
