Izdavačka etika

The publication of an article in a double peer-reviewed journal BEOIBERÍSTICA is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. It is therefore necessary to agree upon standards of expected ethical behaviour for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the editor (and the editorial board), the peer reviewer and the publisher.

The Department of Iberian Studies and especially the Faculty of Philology, as publisher of the journal  BEOBERÍSTICA, take our duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing extremely seriously and we recognize our ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprint or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions. In addition, the Faculty of Philology (University of Belgrade) and the editorial board of BEOIBERÍSTICA will assist in communication with other journals and/or publishers where this is useful and necessary.

Our publication ethics, malpractice guidelines and statements are based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and on existing Elsevier policies.

Malpractice statement

Academic misconduct in any form will not be tolerated by BEOIBERÍSTICA. In cases of suspected misconduct (plagiarism, fraud, breached intellectual property rights, etc.) an editorial panel will be formed to evaluate the substance of the claim. In the case of supported evidence, the paper in question will be rejected for consideration in BEOIBERÍSTICA and all authors and their affiliations will be informed. In cases where the paper has already been published before the misconduct was discovered, a retraction by authors or by the BEOIBERÍSTICA board will have to take place and the case will be made public. Evident cases of misconduct may result in a permanent ban from future submission to BEOIBERÍSTICA. All appeals regarding the panel’s decisions have to go through the Editor-in-Chief and should be submitted within 30 days of the decision date.
