Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

STUDIA UNIVERSITATIS BABEȘ-BOLYAI EUROPAEA

PUBLICATION ETHICS AND MALPRACTICE STATEMENT

PUBLISHING ETHICS: ACADEMIC RESEARCH
INTRODUCTION

As an international publisher of high-quality scholarly journals, Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai Europaea is committed to maintaining the highest of publication ethics and to supporting ethical research practices. Many of the journals we publish have individual ethical policies, and we encourage authors to check the relevant journal website for details prior to submission. Studia Europaea Babeș-Bolyai is a member of the Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai series. This document outlines the best practice principles that we apply to Studia Europaea Babeș-Bolyai academic journal. We hope these guidelines will be useful to many diﬀerent groups, including authors, peer reviewers, editors within and outside of Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai Europaea.

The following Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement aligns with the recommendations of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics): Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors and the Code of Conduct for Journal Publishers. (COPE); a global not-for-profit organisation which aims to support publishers and editors to achieve high standards in publishing ethics.

Any external guidelines we follow are referred to in the relevant sections below. To find our policies for researchers submitting working papers to our academic platform Studia UBB Europaea Open Access Journal, please see the Studia Europaea website.

RESEARCH INTEGRITY

We uphold the same high standards as our University, and expect research published by to abide by the principles within the Art. 21. of the Babeș-Bolyai University Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct and of the Studia Universitatis Babeș-Bolyai Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.

These principles cover:

accepting and indicating as authors of a work only the persons who actually created the work.
in research, the avoidance of plagiarism of any kind and the observance of intellectual property rights, including those deriving from the common ownership of data where research is carried out in collaboration with a supervisor or other researchers. The validation of new discoveries based on previous research/ experiments is acceptable provided the data is confirmed and explicitly cited.
acknowledging the source of an idea, an expression, a result of a previous research, regardless of whether they were published or not. This rule also applies to data taken from papers of any kind by students or doctoral students and subsequently used by a teacher in their own research; explicitly acknowledging the contribution of any person who has actually participated in a research activity. Where the contribution consisted in a supervisory or advisory activity only, a formal acknowledgement of the contribution is not required. In these cases, however, it is recommended to include a message of appreciation;
the university will ensure that all categories of researchers will be able to enjoy the benefits of exploiting (if case be) the results of their research and development activity, in accordance with legal provisions, in particular through the eﬀective protection of intellectual property rights;
compliance with the purpose and the provisions for use of funds allocated to a research project. The funding that financed the research will be mentioned in the publications in which the research results are published;
compliance with the principles of sound, transparent and eﬃcient financial management and cooperation with audit bodies authorized to review the activity, regardless of whether they have been requested by employers/ sponsors or by ethics commissions;
compliance with the norms of ethics regarding the research carried out on human subjects or through experiments carried out with animals and of any other elements pertaining to the research ethics;
scientific procedures should be restricted to those areas that benefit human, animal, and environmental

In addition to the general principles above, we expect our journal editorial team to provide specific guidelines and policies for authors on research integrity and ethics appropriate to their subject matter and discipline.

EDITORIAL PROCESS

We are committed to editorial independence, and strive in all cases to prevent this principle from being compromised through competing interests, fear, or any other corporate, business, financial or political influence. Our editorial processes reflect this commitment to editorial independence.

We do not discriminate against authors, editors or peer reviewers based on personal characteristics or identity. We are committed to embedding diversity, removing barriers to inclusion, and promoting equity at every stage of our publishing process. We actively seek and encourage submissions from scholars of diverse backgrounds, including race and ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, and disability according to the GUIDE TO COMBATING DISCRIMINATION AND CODE OF CONDUCT ON ANTISEMITISM and GUIDELINES ON GENDER EQUALITY.

Our academic publishing programme is overseen by the UBB Ethics Commission, consisting of academics from the Babeş-Bolyai University. The structure and composition of the university ethics commission are proposed by the administration council, endorsed by the university senate and approved by the rector. Professional prestige and moral authority are the underlying criteria for the composition of the Commission. It is recommended that the Commission include ethics and legal experts. The Commission has 11 members. The structure and composition of the Commission may be changed as required only on the proposal of the administration council, with the consent of the Senate and the approval of the Rector.

The GUIDE TO COMBATING DISCRIMINATION is an oﬃcial document regarding the non-discrimination policy of Babeș-Bolyai University and it is based primarily on the provisions of the Romanian Constitution; Government Ordinance no. 137/2000 on the prevention and sanctioning of all forms of discrimination; Law no. 202/2002 on equal opportunities between women and men; Law no. 1/2011 on national education; Law no. 206/2004 on good conduct in scientific research, technological development and innovation, intellectual property rights; Babeș-Bolyai University adheres to all European and national laws and regulations on combating discrimination, while its representatives have a vested interest in identifying, better understanding and avoiding any other forms of discrimination. The purpose of developing these guidelines is to: a) uphold the commitment of Babeș- Bolyai University to equal opportunities and aﬃrmative action for the protection of vulnerable and/or underprivileged groups; b) establish consistent criteria for assessing situations that may amount to discrimination or harassment; c) promote a safe and non- discriminatory educational and professional university environment and comply with applicable laws by: preventing any acts of discrimination; introducing special measures, including aﬃrmative action, to protect the disadvantaged who do not enjoy equal opportunities; mediation by amicable settlement of conflicts arising from facts or acts of discrimination; taking action against discriminatory behaviour following a complaint filed with the University Ethics Committee; providing assistance and support following discrimination or harassment.

Gender equality is one of the fundamental values fostered and safeguarded at Babeș- Bolyai University with the aim of ensuring that all members of the academic community, regardless of sex or gender identity, enjoy the same opportunities, rights and obligations. The GUIDELINES ON GENDER EQUALITY is an oﬃcial document regarding the policy and action plans for fostering gender equality within Babeș-Bolyai University and draws mainly on the provisions of the Romanian Constitution, the Labour Code, Government Ordinance no. 137/2000 on the prevention and sanction of all forms of discrimination, Law no. 202/2002 on equal opportunities between women and men, Law no. 1/2011 on national education and Law no. 206/2004 on good conduct in scientific research, technological development and innovation, intellectual property law. Babeș-Bolyai University complies with all European and national laws and regulations on equal opportunities and equality between women and men and fosters it at all levels and in all areas of its activity.

Proposals submitted for our Academic Journal Studia Universitatis Babeş-Bolyai Europaea are initially reviewed by in-house Editorial Staﬀ, who may also consult relevant external book series editors or subject specialists. If the proposal is suitable for consideration by Studia Europaea, the proposal, along with sample content, will be sent to a minimum of two external and independent peer reviewers. The content will be reviewed by two prestigious persons from outside Babes-Bolyai University, who have to fill up a review standard form. Their suggestions are sent to the author, for further changes. The reviewers are not aware of the authors’ names, as well as the authors don’t have the information regarding reviewers’ names (double blind review system).

We do not tolerate abusive behaviour or correspondence towards our staﬀ and others involved in the publishing process on our behalf. If anyone involved in this process engages in such behaviour we have the right to take action to protect others from this abuse. This may include, for example, withdrawal of a manuscript from consideration, or challenging clearly abusive peer review comments.

PEER REVIEW

Peer review is critical to maintaining the standards of our publications. The reviewer:

assists the editor in selecting the manuscripts for publication;
should accept the invitation to review a manuscript only if they have the required expertise and can perform an unbiased evaluation;
the peer review shall be done using the peer-review sheet made available by the editor;
anonymously assists the author in improving his/her manuscript by making pertinent recommendations and giving clear explanations and instructions, even if they do not recommend the publication;
the reviewer’s feedback shall be constructive and respectful;
the reviewer can suggest the consideration of bibliographical sources, initially omitted by the author, with a view to improving the scientific standing of the manuscript, but shall refrain from recommendations to include references to their own work (or the work of an associate) solely with a view to increasing their own (or their associate’s) visibility. Such suggestions shall be made exclusively on legitimate scientific reasons;
shall recommend the rejection of/ notify the editor if the manuscript includes slanderous, discriminatory or illegal content.

Conflict of interest

If the reviewer suspects the identify the author of the article received for evaluation and they believe they might be or find themselves in a situation of competing interests, they should notify the editor and refuse the invitation to review the article. The conflict of interests may include personal, commercial, financial, intellectual, professional, political or religious considerations.

Suspicion of misconduct and unethical behaviour

If the text of the manuscript submitted for review or any step related to the peer review process raises questions of misconduct (e.g., considerable similarity between the manuscript and other published or unpublished work that the reviewer might be familiar with; suspicion of fabrication or falsification of data; attempts to influence the reviewer towards a particular publication decision), the reviewer shall immediately notify the editor.

Promptness

The reviewer shall respect the deadline for the review. In the event the reviewer is no longer able to meet the deadline (or requires an extension), he/she should contact the editor as soon as possible.

Ownership of the review

The review belongs to the journal and shall only be used as part of the peer review process, with a view to selecting manuscripts for publication and assisting the authors in improving their work.

Confidentiality

Since the journal uses a double-blind peer review process, the reviewer shall not attempt to find the identity of the author, nor shall he/she disclose their own identity as the manuscript’s reviewer. The reviewer can authorize the editor to disclose their identity as a reviewer for the journal, without any mention of the manuscript they have reviewed, nor the issue for which the manuscript was submitted or in which it might have been published. Alternatively, the reviewer can choose to remain anonymous at all time.

The reviewer is not authorised to use or disseminate the manuscript or fragments thereof, to their own advantage or to the advantage of a third party. In case the manuscript includes ideas, concepts, analyses relevant to the reviewer’s professional activity, these can be used with proper acknowledgement after the publication of the manuscript.

The reviewer shall not use, nor disclose the information obtained during the peer review process, without the express permission of the editor or author, as appropriate. The reviewer shall evaluate the manuscript on his own/ her own, without including anyone else in the peer-review process. In case additional expertise is required, the reviewer shall notify the editor and they shall decide together on the best course of action. If a third party becomes involved in the peer review process, with the express permission of the editor, they become a reviewer and will comply with the provisions of the present Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement.

AUTHORSHIP AND REPORTING STANDARDS

Authorship of the manuscript includes the person or people who was/were actively and creatively involved in generating the idea of the manuscript, in the research from which the manuscript derives, in building the argumentation, in the design, writing, interpretation, development of the paper, and who take(s) responsibility for the entire content of the manuscript.

The author(s) can list in the Acknowledgements section of the manuscript the name of all parties who might have contributed to the completion of the article (by funding the research project, supervising or mentoring the research, making comments and suggestions for the draft, contributing to an intellectual debate on the topic etc.), but who cannot claim authorship.

Disputes referring to authorship should be solved between/ among the authors. The editorial staﬀ will not investigate, judge, nor mediate such disputes. The resolutions should, however, be communicated to the editors, if such disputes emerge post-publication and in case a correction has to be made public.

“Ghost”, “Gift”, or “Guest” authorship is considered unacceptable. More information on the terms is available COPE Guidelines. COPE also provides extensive resources on authorship and authorship disputes, and we encourage anyone involved in editorial decisions to familiarise themselves with these resources. We support our editors in dealing with any authorship disputes, including escalating or seeking advice on cases with COPE.

We do not tolerate plagiarism in any of our publications, and we reserve the right to check all submissions through appropriate plagiarism checking tools. Submissions containing suspected plagiarism, in whole or part, will be rejected.

We expect our readers, reviewers and editors to raise any suspicions of plagiarism, either by contacting the relevant editor,
