RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EDITOR

Manuscript Assessment

The papers submitted to the journal should contain the scientific research results obtained by the authors, which have not been published anywhere before.

Reviewing papers submitted to the editorial office of Bulletin of BSTU is aimed at ensuring the high quality of scientific papers published in the journal. All papers submitted to the editorial office for publication are reviewed.

The scientific paper undergoes peer-review twice: internal peer-review is carried out by the experts of Bulletin of BSTU editorial board; external peer-review is done by experts who evaluate the level and clarity of presentation of the submitted material, whether it fits to the journal’s aim and scope, if your work is new and original as well as the conclusions are reliable. Reviewers' recommendations are the basis for the decision to publish the paper. The paper can be rejected both at the stages of internal and external peer-review.

The editorial board is fully responsible for the decision to publish the paper.

The editorial board of the journal makes its decision on publication, adhering to the editorial policy of the journal, taking into account current copyright laws, evaluating manuscripts according to their scientific content. In case of a positive decision of the reviewers and the editorial board, the paper is published in the next issue of the journal; authors hold copyright.

In case of rejection to publish, the author is given feedback with reasoned decision. The manuscript of the rejected paper is kept in the editorial office for at least 1 year. The paper review is sent to the author without the name of the reviewer but indicating the period during which the author can give his answer to the review. In case of giving sound explanation by the author, a second peer-review is carried out, and the decision to publish the paper is made again.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors should submit only original papers. When using text or graphic information of third parties or from their own but already published papers, references to relevant publications or written permission of the author are required. While reviewing the submitted papers, the editorial board screens them for unoriginal material.

Duplicate^[1], redundant^[2] and competitive^[3] publications

Authors should indicate in the abstract that their paper is published for the first time. If the parts of the manuscript have been previously published in another paper, authors are encouraged to refer to the prior paper and show the significant difference between the new submission and the previous paper. Verbatim copying of own works and their paraphrasing are unacceptable; they can be used only as a basis for new conclusions.

Submitting an article to more than one journal is considered unethical and unacceptable.

Authentication of References

DECLARATION OF PUBLICATION ETHICS

The editorial board of Transport Engineering adheres its activities to the Russian Federation law of 27.12.1991 № 2121-1 (updated of 03.07.2016) "On Mass Media", the Regulation of 14.09.2015 On the journal "Transport Engineering", as well as the recommendations and standards of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors,http://publicationethics.org/).

The editorial board of the journal does its best to comply with ethical standards adopted by the international scientific community, studies and takes into account the valuable experience of reliable international journals and publishers.

The Declaration of Publication Ethics contains the general principles and rules of relationship of participants involved in scientific publications (authors, reviewers, editors, publisher).

RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE EDITOR

Manuscript Assessment

The papers submitted to the journal should contain the scientific research results obtained by the authors, which have not been published anywhere before.

Reviewing papers submitted to the editorial office of Bulletin of BSTU is aimed at ensuring the high quality of scientific papers published in the journal. All papers submitted to the editorial office for publication are reviewed.

The scientific paper undergoes peer-review twice: internal peer-review is carried out by the experts of Bulletin of BSTU editorial board; external peer-review is done by experts who evaluate the level and clarity of presentation of the submitted material, whether it fits to the journal’s aim and scope, if your work is new and original as well as the conclusions are reliable. Reviewers' recommendations are the basis for the decision to publish the paper. The paper can be rejected both at the stages of internal and external peer-review.

The editorial board is fully responsible for the decision to publish the paper.

The editorial board of the journal makes its decision on publication, adhering to the editorial policy of the journal, taking into account current copyright laws, evaluating manuscripts according to their scientific content. In case of a positive decision of the reviewers and the editorial board, the paper is published in the next issue of the journal; authors hold copyright.

In case of rejection to publish, the author is given feedback with reasoned decision. The manuscript of the rejected paper is kept in the editorial office for at least 1 year. The paper review is sent to the author without the name of the reviewer but indicating the period during which the author can give his answer to the review. In case of giving sound explanation by the author, a second peer-review is carried out, and the decision to publish the paper is made again.

Confidentiality

The editor and editorial staff are not entitled to:

• to disclose information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding authors, reviewers, other editorial advisers and, if required, the publisher;

• to use unpublished materials of the submitted manuscript without the author’s permission.

Conflict of Interest

In case of any conflict of interest based on competitiveness, cooperation or other kinds of relations with one of the authors, companies or institutions associated with the submitted manuscripts, the editor sends the manuscript for reviewing to another member of the editorial board.

In case of complains on violation of publishing ethics concerning the submitted manuscript or published article, the editor together with the publisher should take adequate measures. Every report of unethical conduct should be considered, even if it comes years after the publication of the article. If the complaint is supported by the editorial board of the journal, appropriate corrections, denials or apologies should be published.

Review Storage and Provision

In accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, reviews of scientific papers are stored in the journal office for at least 5 years and can be provided to the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation upon request. If the paper is rejected, the authors are sent a review of the paper containing the reasons for the rejection to be published in Bulletin of BSTU.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF PEER REVIEWERS

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

The reviewer evaluation contributes to making editorial decisions, as well as to improving the quality of the published article through the cooperation of the editor and the author.

When discussing the author's response to the review, the reviewer has the right to participate in the debate.

Rapid Decision Making

The reviewer should inform the editor and excuse himself from the review process if he feels unqualified to review the research presented in the paper, or he knows that he cannot meet the deadline.

Confidentiality

Any manuscript submitted for review should be treated as a confidential document. It is not acceptable to show it to other reviewers or discuss it with other experts without the permission of the editor-in-chief.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviewers should express their opinion clearly and reasonably: reviews of scientific works should be objective and do not contain personal criticism of the author.

Authentication of References

Reviewers should:

• analyze the sources used by the author of the paper, as well as the quality of bibliographic references of the citations used in the paper;

• identify published materials in a peer-reviewed manuscript that are cited but not bibliographically referred by the author;

• draw the editor's attention to significant or partial similarities with another paper which is familiar to the reviewer.

Information Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Confidential data or ideas, which the reviewer learns during the review, should remain confidential and should not be used for personal gain or transferred to third parties. Reviewers should not be involved in the review and evaluation of manuscripts in which the reviewers are personally interested. Unpublished manuscript should not be used by the reviewer in his own research without the written permission of the author.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF AUTHORS

Reporting Standards

Authors should provide reliable results; objectively assess the significance of their research. The data of the research should be clearly presented in the paper, containing sufficient information so that others could replicate the experiments of the authors.

Before the paper is submitted to the editorial office for consideration, authors should obtain a written permission (expert report) of the organization to which they are affiliated for using the paper content.

Authors can give information about the funding of the research, which results it describes.

Data Access and Storage

Authors may be asked to provide initial data for editorial review. They should be ready to provide open access to such data if required within a reasonable period of time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

Authors should submit only original papers. When using text or graphic information of third parties or from their own but already published papers, references to relevant publications or written permission of the author are required. While reviewing the submitted papers, the editorial board screens them for unoriginal material.

Duplicate^[1], redundant^[2] and competitive^[3] publications

Authors should indicate in the abstract that their paper is published for the first time. If the parts of the manuscript have been previously published in another paper, authors are encouraged to refer to the prior paper and show the significant difference between the new submission and the previous paper. Verbatim copying of own works and their paraphrasing are unacceptable; they can be used only as a basis for new conclusions.

Submitting an article to more than one journal is considered unethical and unacceptable.

Authentication of References

Authors should acknowledge the contribution of other persons who have influenced the study. Bibliographic references to the works used are considered necessary. Information received from third parties privately should not be used in the manuscript without their written permission.

Authorship

The list of authors is limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the research, the progress and results of which are described in the paper. All those who have contributed substantially should be listed as co-authors. The article may contain information about the participants of the research project. The corresponding author should ensure that the names of all co-authors and participants of the project are listed, and that all co-authors have given their permission to its publication, having read and approved the final manuscript before the submission.

Quality of Submitted Manuscript

The paper should be prepared in accordance with the requirements of the journal editorial board. The authors should contact the editorial board to deviate from these requirements. The information provided about the authors should be reliable. In case of any changes in the information, the authors should notify the editor.

Glaring Errors in Published Papers

If the author finds a glaring error or inaccuracy in his published article, he should immediately inform the editor or publisher of the journal and assist them in eliminating or correcting the error.

If the editor or publisher learns from a third party or from the publications of other authors that the paper published in the journal contains glaring errors, the author should immediately eliminate or correct them, or prove the correctness of the original article to the editorial board. If the fact that the published article has glaring errors is confirmed, the editorial office should publish information on it.
