Publication format and copyright protection

In a previous publication, we provided a list of thematic sections of the project's web site (and eventually a forum). The sections are ready and contain promising areas for research, articles, reviews, and other materials. Their general list with links you can see in the Research section of the main site. Manuscript submissions for publication are now open, and you can send your work to the editorial board.

Despite the fact that the main thing for us is the content and not the form, but for the convenience of the editors, participants and readers, authors should adhere to a certain structure of presentation of the material. For this purpose, we have developed general requirements for the format of publications, which all materials sent to the editors must comply with. In addition, we have established a list of thematic restrictions, issues, discussion of which is not allowed within the project.

We clarify that at the moment, this is a preliminary format, in the process of development of the project, it will be finalized and brought to a single template. Which will not be difficult either to understand or to execute, we will try to make it as simple and convenient as possible for both authors and readers.

The project is an open and noncommercial electronic platform, it does not have the status of a legal entity and is not a mass media, so in case of disputes it will not be able to stand on the author's side to protect copyrights of his/her publication. Registration of copyright with a notary or in specialized organizations, though the procedure is reliable, but costs a lot of money, which not everyone has. In this regard, we have developed several recommendations, following which will help authors to protect their intellectual property rights without incurring large financial expenses.  

You can read about all this in more detail in the Contacts section of the main project website. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please send us a private message, an e-mail or a comment on the article.

Once again, we reiterate that the receipt of materials for publication is open, we are waiting for your articles.

Regards.

Project Editorial Board.
