Ethics Policy

Kamchatka. Journal of cultural analysis undertakes to ensure ethics and quality of the published articles, having as a reference the Code of conduct and good practice for publishers of scientific journals, which defines the Comité de Ética de Publicaciones (COPE) and the CSE's White Paper on Promoting Integrity in Scientific Journal Publications..

The drafting Committee of Kamchatka. Journal of cultural analysis undertakes to publish adjustments, clarification, retractions and apologies when needed. In pursuance of this good practice, the arbitration system used to select articles and the assessment criteria applied by external evaluators (both anonymous and peer ones) are published. These will guarantee the confidentiality of the evaluation process at any time: the anonymity of evaluators and authors, the evaluated content, the reasoned report issued by evaluators and any other communication realized by the Editorial, Advisory and Scientific committees. In the same way, confidentiality will be maintained towards potential clarifications, claims or complaints wished to be sent by an author to the magazine’s committees or to the article’s evaluators.      

Our journal declares its commitment to the respect and integrity of already published works, so it will be especially strict with plagiarism, and texts that are identified as such will be removed from the journal or will not be published at all. Manuscripts will be subjected to an analysis with the URKUND plagiarism detection tool during the internal evaluation process. If plagiarism is detected at that time or later, the article will be rejected immediately.

The journal will act as quickly as possible in such cases. By accepting the terms and agreements expressed by our journal, authors must guarantee that the article and associated materials are original and do not infringe the copyrights of third parties.

The journal will scrupulously comply with the Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
