EDITORIAL POLICY

GENERAL PROVISIONS

The editorial board of the scientific journal "Hydrodynamics and Acoustics" in its activities, is guided by international ethical rules for scientific publications, including the concepts of decency, confidentiality, and prevention of possible conflicts of interest. The publishing process is built in accordance with the recommendations of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and integrates the experience of reputable world publishers. This helps to ensure the rights of authors to intellectual property, improve the quality of the publication, and prevent the possibility of unauthorized use of authors's materials.

Since the Journal was founded, its team has been committed to the basic principles of the San Francisco Declaration on the Evaluation of Scientific Research (DORA), according to which the quality of a scientific publication is determined primarily by its content. Based on this, we defend the position that scientometric or other formal indicators cannot be considered the main criterion for evaluating professional publications.

OPEN ACCESS

The Journal follows the policy of open access to published materials. This is in line with the principles of free dissemination of scientific information and knowledge exchange.

The abstracts and full texts of the articles are permanently stored in the Journal section of the website of the Institute of Hydromechanics of NAS of Ukraine. Unrestricted open access to them is provided via the Journal's web page ARCHIVE OF THE PUBLISHED ISSUES.

Users are allowed to freely read, download, copy, and distribute published materials for educational and scientific purposes, subject to mandatory indication of authorship and citation of the source of information. For the reproduction of the published materials by other printed and online media, the consent of the Editorial Board is required.

FREE PUBLICATION

The Institute of Hydromechanics of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine assumes all expenses related to the publication of the Journal. We consider that giving authors the opportunity to publish their results free of charge is the only way to maintain high demands for the published content.

AUTHORSHIP ETHICS

Authors must submit original work that contains reliable results, substantiated claims, and conclusions. Authors are required to avoid plagiarism and are responsible for the completeness and correctness of citations and references to previous work. They are also required to declare any financial or personal interests that may influence the results.

Materials that have been previously published or submitted in other print or electronic publications will not be accepted for consideration. Submissions of knowingly false or falsified statements, as well as cases of plagiarism, including compilations, paraphrasing, and quoting other people's results without correct attribution, are equated with unethical behavior and are unacceptable. In such cases, the Editorial Office reserves the right to refuse cooperation to authors.

EDITORIAL ETHICS

Editors ensure objectivity, confidentiality, and transparency of the manuscript consideration. As moderators of the publication process, they are responsible for the quality of materials published in the Jurnal. The editorial board is obliged to respond promptly to detected errors by publishing corrections or retractions of articles.

Peer review process should be fair, impartial, and timely. Reviewers and editors should disclose any conflicts of interest that may affect the impartiality of their evaluations.
