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.

Blog rules

To avoid conflicts and misunderstandings arising in the process of posting and discussing posts, please make sure that you, our subscribers and guests, read the rules of conduct on our blog:

The «Public Order and Safety» blog is a highly specialized community, therefore only posts related directly or indirectly to the thematic component of the project are discussed and published here. Messages on other, not related to the activities of the project - are not published, no exceptions are made, for no one. 

Comments FORBIDDEN:

1. insults in any form, to individuals or communities, on the basis of national, racial, religious, social, professional, political or other affiliation.

2. Extremist statements or appeals to individuals or any social (professional, religious, political, ethnic, etc.) groups.

3. Statements which justify the activities of terrorist or extremist organizations (movements), crimes, their perpetrators or criminality as a social phenomenon.

4. The use of profanity.

5. Spam (advertising).

6. Transitions to personalities, discussion of the personal characteristics of the authors, editors, participants or guests of the blog.

7. Placing links to other resources without prior agreement with the blog's editor.

8. Flooding (posting information not relevant to the topic of the posted post or the blog as a whole).

In addition, note that our community is completely out of politics. We do not address political issues and do not participate in discussions on political topics.

We also do not welcome comments such as «It won't work...», «Not in this country...», «Bullshit, nonsense, stupidity...» and the like. Comments with that and similar content will be deleted, and their authors will be added to the «Black list» after a warning (if it doesn't work).

This is not a fight against dissent, but a demand for constructive dialogue. Any criticism is welcome as long as it is substantiated and the author backs up his opinion with arguments, rather than simply expressing his disagreement in categorical terms, believing that the phrase «Because I said so!» is sufficient as an argument.

We wish you a pleasant conversation. 

Sincerely.

Editorial staff of the project.
