Authors should refrain from misrepresenting research results which could damage the trust in the Modern Sochastics: Theory and Applications (MSTA) journal, the professionalism of scientific authorship, and ultimately the entire scientific endeavor. Malpractice described below will incur MSTA journal sanctions for manuscript or publication:
MSTA requires that data, results, images, photographs, audio/video and/or other materials in the manuscript are not fabricated and not manipulated. The malpractice in this case will incur immediate rejection of the infringing manuscript. MSTA requires that no research results, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the author’s own. Proper acknowledgements to other works must be given (this includes verbatim material, summarized and/or paraphrased material), quotation marks are used for verbatim copying of material, and permissions are secured for material that is copyrighted. MSTA as a participant of Similarity Check uses the iThenticate software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Manuscripts that are found to have been plagiarized from a manuscript by other authors, whether published or unpublished, will incur immediate rejection of the infringing manuscript. MSTA is committed to publishing only material that has neither been published elsewhere, nor is under review elsewhere, unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work. Please provide transparency on the re-use of material to avoid the hint of text-recycling. MSTA as a participant of Similarity Check uses the iThenticate software to detect instances of overlapping and similar text in submitted manuscripts. Manuscripts that are found to have been self-plagiarized, whether published or unpublished, will incur immediate rejection of the infringing manuscript. If a single study is split up into several parts to increase the quantity of submissions and is submitted to various journals or to one journal over time, it will incur immediate rejection of the infringing manuscript. All listed authors must have made a significant scientific impact to the research in the manuscript and therefore share collective responsibility and accountability for the results. It is important to list everyone who made a significant scientific contribution, including students and laboratory technicians. Changes of authorship or in the order of authors are not accepted after acceptance of a manuscript.fabrication, falsification or manipulation of data, results, images in the manuscript;
plagiarism in proposing, performing, reviewing and reporting research results;
duplicate publication;
redundant publication;
inappropriate co-authorship.
