The publishing activity is carried out in accordance with the established Regulations of the Publishing House. The Publishing House Program Council, appointed by the Director and consisting of national and international academics, shapes the publishing policy. KOMAG Publishing House applies the principles of publishing ethics in order to prevent undesirable publishing practices (e.g. plagiarism or so-called ghostwriting - publishing scientific articles under someone else's name).

The publishing policy follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), contained in the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors, the COPE Ethical Guidelines for Peer Reviewers, and the study Good Practices in Review Procedures in Science.

The Publishing House's compliance with ethical standards is intended to ensure that the publications issued are prepared with honesty and integrity. The Publisher has an established scientific review procedure for submitted manuscripts. Scientific reviews are the primary tool for assessing the quality and originality of scientific results presented in publications.

The editors of the MINING MACHINES quarterly pay special attention to the necessity of applying standards of ethical conduct of all parties involved in the publication process: authors, editors, reviewers and the publisher.
