Ghostwriting barrier

The readers of the “Mining Machines” Quaterly have certainty that the author/authors of the publications in a clear, fair and honest manner present the results of their work, irrespective of the fact whether they are its direct authors or they have used an assistance from a specialized subject.

The Editorial Office demands from the publication authors to reveal an input of individual authors in an elaboration of a publication (giving their affiliation, i.e. the information who is the author of the concept, assumptions, methods and so on, used for a preparation of the publication), but the main responsibility is borne by the author submitting the article. The Editorial Office requires the information about the sources of financing the publication, the input of scientific-and-research institutions, societies and other subjects.
