The journal shall adhere to the ethical standards defined by COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics): transparency in the process of submission, peer review, and publication of articles; impartiality and independence of editors and reviewers; academic integrity – avoidance of plagiarism, falsification, duplicate publications; proper authorship – clear definition of each author's contribution; complaint handling – existence of open and clear procedures for handling appeals and complaints regarding ethics; retraction and correction of articles – clear procedure for retraction, corrections, and error notifications.

The recommendations of WAME (World Association of Medical Editors, principles for editors of all sciences) may be applied in a broader context: editorial independence – editorial decisions are made without pressure from sponsors, institutions, or commercial interests; conflicts of interest – all authors, reviewers, and editors are obliged to declare them; peer review – ensuring objective, fair, and timely expert evaluation; transparency of funding – disclosure of information about grants, sponsors, and sources of research funding; support for early-career researchers – facilitating publications by researchers at the beginning of their careers.

The journal shall support the principles of fair research assessment of DORA (San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment): not limiting itself to bibliometric indicators (impact factor, h-index), but evaluating research for its quality, novelty, and contribution to science; valuing different types of research outputs – software, data, algorithms, technical solutions, not just articles; recognising interdisciplinary research as equivalent to classical publications; encouraging open science – publication of preprints, open access to data and code.

The editorial board takes into account other contemporary principles (Open Science, Plan S, FAIR Data):

Open Access – promoting open access to scientific results.

FAIR principles for data (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) – ensuring the ability to find, access, interoperate, and reuse data.

Plan S – supporting the policy of publication in open journals and archives.

Ethical use of AI – maintaining transparency and accountability in the case of using artificial intelligence in research.
