The Scientific Bulletin of the National Academy of Statistics, Accounting and Auditing supports the principles of responsible evaluation of scientific research, open science, and transparent use of artificial intelligence technologies in scientific publications.

 

DORA Declaration

The journal supports the principles of the Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA).

Manuscripts are evaluated solely on the basis of their scientific content, novelty, methodological soundness, and relevance to the journal's topic, and not on the basis of journal metrics (in particular, impact factor).

Editorial board:

• does not use journal metrics as the primary evaluation criterion;
• supports responsible and objective evaluation of research;
• promotes transparency of authorship;
• encourages responsible citation practices.

 

FAIR Principles

The journal supports the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles of scientific data management.

Authors are advised to:

• use permanent identifiers (DOI, ORCID);
• ensure open access to research results and, where possible, to primary data;
• use standardized data formats;
• provide correct documentation and license terms for reuse.

If necessary, authors may add a "Data Availability Statement" section.

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) Policy

The journal recognizes the possibility of using artificial intelligence tools (including generative models) in manuscript preparation.

 

Simultaneously:

• Artificial intelligence tools cannot be credited;
• full responsibility for the scientific content, reliability and originality of the material lies with the authors;
• the use of AI for data analysis or image processing must be clearly declared in the text of the manuscript (in particular in the "Methods" section);
• the use of AI for language editing (grammar, stylistics) is allowed without mandatory declaration, provided that scientific content is not generated or modified;
• If AI is used to assist in text generation, material synthesis, or manuscript structuring, such use must be transparently declared;
• The use of AI to fabricate or falsify data, create fake links, or manipulate images is strictly prohibited;
• Editors and reviewers should not upload confidential manuscripts to open AI systems.

 

Failure to report significant use of AI may be considered a violation of publication ethics.
