Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

Publication and authorship:

Each article proposed to be published in FThS must have scientific value. The authors should use footnotes (See Submission) and provide to the editorial board  a bibliographic list, at the end their work. If the work is being conducted under a project grant or funding and benefits, this subsidiary will be mentioned in the first footnote. The magazine does not charge for publication.

Plagiarism or self-plagiarism are prohibited and lead to the rejection of publication material.

Publication of the same article or study in several magazines leads to the rejection of the proposed work.

 

Author’s responsibilities:

Each study is reviewed before being published. The process used by FThS is double-blind review (See Peer Reviewing) by the specialists from our Scientific Committee (PhD, professors and researchers from Bulgaria, Greece, etc.). After reviewing, the material can be accepted if certain changes need to be made in cooperation with the authors. Cooperation withe editors is expected and authors are obliged to participate in the review process.
